Wedding and occasion hair
Wedding and occasionhair that stays up.
Upstyles for weddings, formals, and any night that ends later than the hair was built for.
Mon to Sat, from 10am
What it is
Occasion hair is a different job to a blow-dry and it is judged by a harder standard: it has to survive a ceremony, a car, a photographer, a dance floor and whatever the weather is doing, and still be there at eleven. That is a construction problem as much as a styling one, and it is the reason this is a booked chair rather than a walk-in one.
Weddings, formals, and the nights in between. Upstyles, half-up, and the kind of soft finish that looks like it happened on its own and did not. Call rather than walking in, because an occasion needs a held appointment and a date that has not already gone.

How it goes
What actually
happens.
-
Book the chair
Call rather than walking in. An upstyle takes a held appointment, and the date you want may already be taken, so earlier is better than later.
-
Bring the pictures
What you want, and the dress if you have a photograph of it. The neckline changes what suits you more than almost anything else, which is not obvious until somebody says it.
-
Built to last the night
Pinned, set and finished for the hours it has to survive rather than for the first photograph. It should look the same getting into the car at the end as it did getting out of one at the start.
What it costs
Quoted on your
hair, not a list.
Quoted when you book, because an upstyle is priced on what it is: length, thickness and how much structure the look needs. Call the salon, describe the occasion and what you have in mind, and you will have a number before the date is held.

Questions
The things people
ask about this.
Anything not covered here, call 0499 927 027 or come up and ask.
How far ahead should I book?
As far ahead as you can manage. An upstyle needs a held chair rather than a walk-in one, and the obvious dates go first, so a date you have known about for six months is worth ringing about now rather than in the week of.
What should I bring?
Photographs of what you want, and of the dress if you have one, because the neckline decides more than people expect. Anything that is going in the hair on the day, a comb, a veil, a clip, should come with you rather than being described.
Should I wash my hair that morning?
No. Come with hair washed the day before. Day-old hair holds a pin and freshly washed hair fights it, which is the one piece of preparation that makes the most difference and the one most people get wrong.
Can you do the rest of the group as well?
Call and ask with the numbers and the date in front of you. How many people can be done, and by when, depends entirely on what is already in the book for that morning, so it is a real conversation rather than a yes or a no on a web page.
