The Dos of UpDos
The stylists at Sisters Salon & Day Spa Love Love Love doing updos for our guests. Whether you are the bride, a bridesmaid, going to prom, a party or any grand occasion, there are a few things that can make you feel and look as special as having your hair done up.
With prom and wedding season here, we would like to provide you with expert advice on what you need to know before your consultation with your stylist so you walk out with exactly the look you want.
- Your hair should be DRY, and not freshly shampooed. If it is freshly shampooed, add some styling product so there is some “grip”.
- Bring pictures of styles you like, and/or, bring pictures of styles you don’t like.
- Curls can go from loose to tight so avoid generalizations like “I want curls”. Be as specific as you can or ask your stylist for advice.
- Hair color can change a look dramatically. Some styles will look much differently with highlighted hair than single color hair because of the dimension. Your stylist can guide you.
- Brides, practice your style before your wedding day.
- If you want to add extensions, bring them in to your stylist before the day of your appointment so they know what they are working with.
- If you have hair accessories, show them to your stylist during the consultation. It is often difficult to add them in once a style is complete.
- Be on time or early for your appointment so there is plenty of time to work with your stylist and so you or your stylist aren’t feeling rushed.
- If something about your style is uncomfortable, such as a bobby pin poking you in the wrong place, speak up at that time.
- Purchase the same spray your stylist used on you so you can have it for touch-ups throughout the day and night.
- Have confidence in your stylist. This is a partnership and an art, not a science and it makes for a much better outcome if communication is open. Choose a stylist you are comfortable with.
We want you to look as great as you want to – if something isn’t right, please let us know. We don’t want you walking out unhappy with your look.
