Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Ask the stylist how they want the hair prepared for the chosen style; washing advice varies.
- Bring the accessories you want fitted and mention extensions or scalp sensitivity.
After your appointment
- Remove pins and accessories carefully, then gently detangle the hair rather than pulling the style apart.
- Avoid leaving a painfully tight style in place; repeated tension can damage hair.

FAQs
Will my heavy long hair pull the upstyle down during the event?
Not at all. We use specialized internal anchor grids and weight-distributing bobby pin techniques designed specifically for heavy, long hair. This ensures your updo remains light, comfortable, and rock-solid all night.
Should I wash my long hair on the morning of my upstyle appointment?
No, we recommend washing your hair the night before your appointment. Hair washed 12 to 24 hours prior holds curls, backcombing, and pins significantly better than silky, freshly washed strands.
Can I incorporate hair extensions into a long hair upstyle?
Yes! Even with long hair, clip-in extensions can add incredible extra volume, thickness, and color dimension to large chignons or braided styles. Bring them along, and your stylist will seamlessly blend them in.
How long does a long hair upstyle appointment take?
Because of the additional length and hair density, a long hair upstyle typically takes 60 to 75 minutes to ensure proper thermal prep, structural anchoring, and detailed pin work.
Can I wear my long hair half-up instead of a full updo?
Absolutely! Half-up upstyles are extremely popular for long hair, giving you the security and volume of a crown updo while allowing long romantic waves to cascade down your back.
