Gusto Named Best Blow Dry Bar 2026

Gusto Hair has been named Best Blow Dry Bar at the London Hair & Beauty Awards 2026. Here's what goes into an award-winning blow dry — and why ours lasts.

The Micro Bob

Chin-length is out and jaw-skimming is in. The micro bob is the shortest, sharpest bob around, and Demi Moore just wore it on the New York Fashion Week front row.

Fawn Blonde

Not butter, not beige, not quite ash. Fawn blonde is the velvety in-between shade with soft roots and easy upkeep, and it is the blonde to ask for this winter.

Skullet and Blowout Taper

The blowout taper keeps volume on top with clean, blended sides. The skullet goes bold and short with length only at the back. Here is how to choose, and what to ask for in London.

The 90s Princess Updo

Soft volume, loose tendrils and a finish that looks like it might tumble down at any moment. The 90s Princess Updo is back, and here's how to wear it now.
