A new express breakfast blow dry service for stylistas on the go has been set up by Dylan Bradshaw in his salon at 56 South William Street, Dublin. Called the dbExpress, it's a speedy half-hour service that operates from 7am to 9 am, Monday to Friday and costs €25, which includes a takeaway coffee. Bradshaw opened the 2014 L'Oreal Colour Trophy Awards in London, the first Irish salon in the 50-year history of the ceremony to be invited to launch what's considered the Oscars of hairdressing.
