Styling & updos

Styling that lasts past the last dance.

A good style should look the same at hour six as it did in the mirror. Our blowouts are built with tension and a cool shot, not a can of spray. Our updos hold on pins placed hair to hair, so they move like loose hair and come apart with one hand at midnight.

In the chair

How the appointment goes.

  1. Bring the plan

    Tell us the event, the time, the neckline and the weather. Photos help, even the ones you think are unrealistic.

  2. Prep the hair

    Day-two hair holds updos best. For blowouts, we wash and use a light treatment matched to your hair.

  3. Build the shape

    Sections, tension and pins do the work. Product only adds finish and a light hold.

  4. Take the kit

    Event guests leave with a few matched pins and a short tip sheet for touch-ups.

Before & after

  • Testing a look before the big day

Before you come

Sample review

"Tomás did my wedding updo after a trial a month earlier. It lasted through dinner, dancing and a windy beach photo, then came out with about six pins at midnight, just like he said it would."

Questions

Styling, answered

Do I need a trial for my wedding?

We strongly suggest one, 4 to 8 weeks before the day. Wear it for the rest of the day and take a photo at hour six. That photo tells us what to change. The trial price comes off your wedding-day styling if you book it within 60 days.

Can you style a whole bridal party?

Yes. Tomás plans the timeline with you so everyone is finished an hour before photos. Call the desk to hold more than two chairs at once.

Should I come with clean hair?

For blowouts, we wash it here. For updos, day-two hair holds pins much better than freshly washed hair, so wash the night before.

Cancelling or running late? Free to move up to 24 hours ahead; half the price inside 24 hours. Up to 15 minutes late, we'll still fit you in if we can. All policies in plain words
