Secure and check comfort

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
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.
