Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Arrive with clean, 100% dry hair washed the evening prior (1-day-old hair provides better grip and pin stability than freshly washed hair).
- Wear a button-down shirt or zip-up top to your appointment so you can change into your event dress without disturbing your upstyle.
After your appointment
- Avoid touching or pulling on face-framing tendrils; keep a lightweight hairspray handy for quick humidity touch-ups.
- When removing the upstyle at night, unpin carefully starting from the outer layers inward before brushing out texturizing spray.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Should my hair be freshly washed before a medium upstyle appointment?
We recommend washing your hair the day before your appointment. Hair washed 24 hours prior holds curls, pins, and volume significantly better than freshly washed hair, which can be too silky or slippery.
Is medium-length hair long enough for a full updo?
Yes, absolutely! Shoulder-length hair is actually ideal for updos because it creates a neat, compact chignon without excessive weight pulling the pins down. Stylists use backcombing and padding if additional volume is desired.
How long will my upstyle last during an event?
Our upstyles are built with professional structural pinning and setting products designed to last 8 to 12 hours, keeping your hair secure through dancing, photos, and outdoor weather.
Can I bring my own hair accessories or veil?
Yes! We encourage clients to bring any jeweled pins, hair combs, floral pieces, or bridal veils. Your stylist will securely anchor them into the updo foundation during the final detailing step.
How long does a medium upstyle styling appointment take?
A standard medium upstyle takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, depending on hair thickness, detail intricacy, and whether hair extensions need to be incorporated.
