Sorry, I hadn't noticed that the OP stated the type of hydrangea. ;) You're
assuming they are 'Endless Summer', in which case you'd be quite correct in
your advice. There are other types that fit the very vague description
given, that are *not* everblooming.
Unless they know what type of hydrangea they have, I'd say, "don't
deadhead". Besides (and also determined by the variety), mid-August may be
getting a little late for pruning. Next years buds may be/have
forming/formed.
JMO. =) I prefer knowing exactly what specific plant I'm dealing with,
before I "try something new" with it. That's prolly just me. =)
