More information

What's Included

Your appointment focuses on comfort, hold, and a look that lasts.

  • Personal consultation to tailor your Half Hair Up.
  • Dry styling on clean hair with smoothing and heat protection.
  • Curl or wave creation where desired for shape and movement.
  • Precise sectioning and secure, comfortable pin placement.
  • Accessory placement for clips, combs, or veil provided by you.
  • Finishing products for hold, shine, and flyaway control.
  • Final check to ensure balance, comfort, and longevity.

Who It's For

Ideal if you want hair away from your face while still showing length. Great for weddings, proms, parties, work events, and photoshoots. Suits medium to long hair, and we adapt for layers or a fringe.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Your appointment lasts 45 minutes. Arrive 5 minutes early for a brief consultation and accessory review. Please come with clean, fully dry hair washed the night before. Very thick or waist-length hair may need extra time, so add a note when booking.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Avoid touching or loosening the pinned areas.
  • Keep hair dry and away from steam or rain.
  • Carry a few grips and a mini hairspray for top-ups.
  • If keeping overnight, secure loosely with a silk scrunchie.
  • Remove pins gently from underneath to avoid snagging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a half up suit my hair length?
Most medium to long hair works well. We adapt techniques for layers, fringes, and extensions. Very short hair may need alternative styling.
Should I wash my hair first?
Yes, please arrive with clean, fully dry hair. Wash the night before and avoid heavy conditioners or oils, so pins and products hold well.
Is a blowdry included?
This is a dry styling service. We prepare and style your hair with heat tools as needed, but it does not include a wash or full blowdry.
Can you add hair accessories?
Of course. Bring your clips, combs, or veil, and we will place them securely. We can advise on the best placement during your consultation.
How long will it last?
With proper prep, most styles last through your event. We use professional grips and finishing products to maintain hold while keeping a soft look.
