How an updo appointment works

  1. Style consultation

    Share photos of the look, your outfit and the event so we plan the right style.
  2. Hair prep

    Wash or dry-prep with heat protection and texture products.
  3. Base styling

    Blow-dry and curl to build volume and grip.
  4. Design & pinning

    Shape, pin or tie the style securely.
  5. Finishing

    Shine and long-lasting hold sprays for all-day wear.
  6. Final check

    We check every angle — and photos — before you go.

Make your style last

  • Avoid touching or brushing the style; reshape curls gently with fingers.
  • Carry a few bobby pins for small adjustments.
  • On humid days, keep a mini hairspray handy.
  • Remove pins gently and brush from the ends up when taking an updo down.

Updo FAQ

Can you do an updo on short hair?

Shoulder-length hair can usually be styled into a small updo; very short hair may need extensions.

Should I bring my accessories?

Yes — bring any hair pins, flowers or veils so we can build them into the style.

How early should I book for a wedding?

Book as early as possible, and send outfit photos so we can plan the look.
