Your appointment
What to expect
Consultation & Texture Prep
We review your inspiration photos, prepping dry strands with thermal protectant and texturizing dust for optimal grip.
Thermal Curls & Section-by-Section Pinning
Hair is heat-curled to create bend before systematically twisting, folding, and micro-pinning shorter sections into shape.
Detailing, Accessory Placement & Lock Spray
Face-framing tendrils are refined, decorative clips or hairpieces are secured, and a strong-hold anti-humidity spray seals the style.
Plan your visit
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Arrive with clean, 100% dry hair washed the day before (1-day-old hair provides essential texture and grip compared to slippery, freshly washed hair).
- Wear a button-down shirt or zip-up top so you can change into your event dress without pulling clothing over your upstyle.
After your appointment
- Avoid touching or re-pinning short nape sections; keep a small hairspray on hand for quick humidity flyaway control.
- When taking down the upstyle, unpin gently starting from the outer layers and brush out setting spray before washing.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Is my hair long enough for a short hair upstyle?
If your hair reaches chin to collarbone length (such as a bob or lob), we can create a full, elegant updo! For shorter pixie cuts, we specialize in gorgeous textured crown styles, braided bands, and vintage wave designs.
Should I wash my short hair on the morning of my appointment?
No, we recommend washing your hair the day before your appointment. Hair washed 12 to 24 hours prior holds curls, backcombing, and micro-pins much better than slippery, freshly washed hair.
Will short hair fall out of the upstyle during dancing?
Not with our techniques! We use specialized micro-pinning, texturizing powders, and hidden criss-cross anchor grids specifically engineered to hold short nape layers securely in place all night.
Can hair extensions or padding be added to a short hair upstyle?
Yes! If you want extra volume or a fuller bun, sponge padding or clip-in extensions can be discreetly tucked under your natural hair to add structure and fullness.
How long does a short hair upstyle appointment take?
A short hair upstyle typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, depending on hair density, detail intricacy, and whether padding or accessories are added.
