Ideal before an event, it refreshes your look with smooth shaping, flattering height and careful pinning so you can arrive feeling put together and confident. ## Hair Up styling: what the 30-minute appointment delivers This service is designed for a neat, event-ready finish without a long appointment. - A brief consultation on your outfit, neckline and the level of height or softness you want. - Prep and smoothing to reduce flyaways and create a clean base for pinning. - Curling or shaping where needed for movement and hold. - Secure pinning and balance checks from all angles for an even silhouette. - Finishing touches for shine and control, plus light setting so the style lasts. - Placement of your hair accessory if you bring one (clip, comb, pins or fascinator band). ### Best uses for Hair Up on the day - Wedding guest or special occasion styling when you want hair off the face and neckline. - Races, parties and dinners where you need a style that holds through the evening. - Photos, celebrations and milestone events where a polished profile matters. - Quick refresh when your hair is clean and you want it elevated and neatly secured. ### How your Hair Up is created in 30 minutes You will start with a quick chat about your hair length, thickness and how you want it to feel, sleek or softly textured. Your stylist will prep the hair, add shape and then build the upstyle with controlled sections, secure pins and a set finish. The aim is a comfortable style that stays in place without feeling over-tight. ### After your appointment: keeping the style looking fresh Avoid brushing once pinned; use your fingers to smooth the surface if needed. Keep a few spare grips and a small hairspray in your bag for touch-ups, especially on windy days. If you are changing outfits later, undo tight collars carefully to prevent snagging the pins.

Hair that is washed the day before often holds better than very clean hair. If your hair gets oily quickly, wash it on the day but avoid heavy conditioner at the roots. Come fully dry unless you have booked a separate wash and blow-dry. Does Hair Up include a wash and blow-dry? Hair Up is a styling appointment and does not usually include washing or a full blow-dry. If you would like your hair washed and dried first, book a blow-dry alongside it. This helps ensure the best hold and finish. Can you fit my Hair Up around a fascinator or hair accessory? Yes, bring your accessory with you and tell your stylist how you plan to wear it. The style can be built to support combs, clips and pinned pieces. For heavier items, extra securing may be needed, so allow a moment to test comfort and balance. Will Hair Up work on shorter or fine hair? Often yes, depending on length and how much you want lifted or pinned back. Shorter hair may suit a half-up shape or a low twist with added texture for grip. Your stylist will advise what is achievable in the appointment time. How long will my Hair Up style last? With proper pinning and setting, it should hold well for your event and photograph nicely. Longevity depends on hair texture, weather, and how much you touch the style. If you are heading to an all-day occasion, mention it so hold can be prioritised.
