Hairdressers after replacement

Hi All,
I will be 9 days post pacemaker replacement surgery tomorrow.
As I have been good and not lifting my arm, my hair is a total mess.
I am planning to have a wash and blow at the hairdressers tomorrow to make myself feel better.
Is anyone aware of any issue with using a hair dryer straight after replacement?
Thanks peeps x

Unless

Unless your hairdresser is related to Sweeny Todd there shouldn't be a problem.

Just let them know you'll be sensitive on the PM side.

Thanks

Ha ha thank you!!!
I am only asking as my hairdresser said she has another client who got a pm last year, and told her she shouldn't really have her hair done straight after the op because of magnets in hair dryer???
I said well I have had my pm 8 years and never had a problem in the hairdressers lol!!'

I seem to rembember seeing somewhere that hairdryers should be kept at least 30cm (12") away from the PM.

When in doubt...
