Hair Up is an occasion styling service designed for weddings, proms, parties and other events where you want a polished, secure style that holds all day and night. It suits anyone with a special occasion on the calendar, whether that's a full updo, a chignon, or a half-up look that works with an outfit and venue.
More information
What to expect
- A short consultation to discuss the look you want, your outfit, and the event itself
- Hair is prepared, then shaped and secured with pins, grips and styling products
- A finishing step with hold and shine products for a polished, event-ready result
- The appointment typically takes around 60 minutes, though this can vary with hair length, thickness and style complexity
Styles and personalisation
Hair up covers a range of looks, so there's flexibility depending on the occasion and your hair type:
- Buns and chignons for a classic, elegant finish
- Twists and braids for texture and detail
- Sculpted updos for a more formal or bridal look
- Half-up styles for a softer, less structured feel
Our senior stylists, including Katie Williams, Lucy Osborne, Emma Stokes and Hannah James, work with you to shape the style around your hair and the event, so bring reference photos or accessories such as pins, clips or a headpiece if you have them in mind.
Getting ready and how long it lasts
A little preparation helps the style hold and look its best:
- Wash hair the day before your appointment rather than the same day, as day-old hair tends to grip better
- Bring any hair accessories you'd like included in the finished look
- If you're unsure about the style, it's worth asking about a trial ahead of a wedding or big event
Once done, a hair up style is built to last through the occasion, generally holding well for 8 to 24 hours depending on hair type, products used and how active the event is.
