Have you removed the hair collector from the trap
It usually pulls out. Some times you will have to turn it slightly to get it out.
This can help. Once you have done this. It may be good to flush some more water down to free up and wash away any other debris.
If you still having issues. It may be best to call a local plumber in. You can post on the looking for a plumber forum for someone local to come to your aid

I wouldn't suggest such a high pressure of air. You may risk damaging pipe work or fittings.
Could you post a picture of the waste. We may be able to advise if there is another component to remove
If you do post a photo. Do one with chrome part on. And one with chrome part removed."nothing is impossible"

A great thread, made I laugh, possibly inappropriately.

The hair collector is there to prevent blockages, I'd tell your dorta to leave it alone
