In Beijing especially near the Santitun district the scantily dressed girls would frequently stand in the street and try and even drag some foreign people in for a 'haircut' Maybe blow dry could be a wrong translation for something else.

My hair (or whatever little is left of it) is getting a bit shaggy, now that you mention it.
