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
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.
