Special Styles

Occasion looks and the once-a-year asks.

Each one booked with the time the style actually needs. Never rushed. Never squeezed into a 30-minute window.

What it is

Hair appointments built differently.

Updos, wedding hair, prom styling, and occasion blowouts. The styles that take time to do right.

Your stylist handles the once-a-year requests like wedding hair, prom updos, and special-occasion blowouts that need to hold all day and all night.

Each one is booked with the real time it needs. A simple updo can take an hour. A full bridal look with a trial run takes longer. We book the room for as long as the style takes.

For weddings and prom we book months ahead. Walk-ins for special styles rarely work because the room and the time are already accounted for that day.

How we work

The special styles process.

Five steps that account for the time the style actually takes.

01.

Phone Consult

The style. The date. The time it will take. The cost. All confirmed before booking.

02.

Prep Wash

Clean scalp, deep conditioner, no product buildup before the style goes in.

03.

Sectioning

Every section measured and set the way the style needs. Skip this and the style does not sit right.

04.

Style Execution

The long part. We work at the pace the style needs, never rushed because the next client is waiting.

05.

At-Home Care

How to sleep on it, wash it, protect it, and make it last as long as possible.

Is this for you

Best for — and probably not for.

Special styles are a real time commitment. Plan ahead and the result holds.

Yes, if

• •You have a wedding, prom, or special event coming up
• •You want an updo that holds through the whole day
• •You need an occasion blowout that holds all day and night
• •Your usual stylist usually rushes through these and you want it done right
• •You are willing to book at least two to four weeks ahead

Probably not, if

• •You need a same-day or next-day appointment (book early)
• •You want a quick fix without a phone consult first
• •You are not sure about the style yet (let us talk it through)
• •You are looking for the lowest price in town

Recent work

The styles that take their time.

Real looks, real holds, real care.

Time at the chair

1 to 3 hours

Varies by style. A simple updo on the shorter end, a full bridal look with a trial on the longer end.

Pricing

Quoted at consult

Time-based and style-based. Phone consult comes first, real number quoted before booking.

Lead time

2 to 4 weeks ahead

For weddings and proms, book two to three months in advance. The room books up fast in spring.

Common questions

Before you book.

How long does an updo take?

Most run one to three hours, depending on the look, your hair length, and whether we are adding any pieces. We confirm the time on the phone before we book, so the room is held for the whole appointment.

Will my style hold all day?

Yes. That is the whole point of booking it with the right time. We set it to last through the event, the photos, and the dancing. We will also send you home knowing how to protect it.

How far ahead should I book wedding hair?

Two to three months minimum. Six months for spring or summer weekends. We do a trial run a few weeks before the day so we can adjust before it counts.

What if I have never had this style before?

That is what the phone consult is for. We will talk through what the style will look like on your hair specifically, what the maintenance will be, and whether it is a good fit before you commit to booking.

Ready for the style that actually takes time?

Special styles start with a phone call so we can plan the time and price right.
