Dry/Wet Cut

Wet cut normally means no blowdry - it's what I have normally as I want a cut that doesn't need a blowdry or styling with tools, like straighteners, tongs etc.


(I'm also of the view that the salon blowdry can hide a multitude of bad cut sins)

Wet cut normally means they will wash it before they start (therefore it is wet when cut).
This usually means they blowdry at the end, whereas a dry cut means no need to blow dry the hair as it started dry.

a cut with a blow dry, is normally a "cut and blow dry" - hair is washed, cut and blow dried. I've never had a "wet cut" (in 30 years of having wet cuts, where the hair is washed before being cut)  which has included a blow dry. 

A dry cut, in my experience is when the hair is cut without washing it first - or it is washed and dried before being cut. I have friends with very curly hair, who have dry cuts, to avoid the hairdresser taking off more than intended, as hair stretches when it is wet.

Edit - I'm a woman though, perhaps things are different in the places men go?

Yes it is slightly different for mens as you don't see "cut and blow dry" at all in relation to mens.
Generally for men it is either one price (and they usually wash at least once), or wet cut (wash at the beginning) or dry cut (no washing).

For women I think the "wet cut" is replaced by cut and blow dry, but I would assume that involves some styling as part of the blw dry.

I’m male and had mine done today. 

My whole experience was, arrived, asked to wait outside until they were ready for me, when I went in I was asked to sanitise my hands, I already had a mask on. She put a disposable gown over me. 

I was asked what I wanted done, they then washed my hair, dried it slightly with a towel then did my hair as I wanted. 

At the end she disposed of my gown, paid and left.
