Special Occasions

Deciding on a Style for Special Occasions

Getting your hair done for a special occasion is just as important as finding the perfect outfit. You want to look your best and your hair style can make all the difference in the world. Some special occasions are more formal than others. The hair style you choose needs to match the occasion. While you may choose to do a simple up-do for a holiday party or the like, when it comes to a formal occasion, especially one that happens once in a life time, doing your own hair just won't do. There are two very special days in a woman's life where getting a professional stylist is a must, your prom and your wedding day. While some women wear their hair down, the most popular hair style for these once- in- a- life- time special occasions is an updo. Here are some tips to make it easier for you to get the perfect updo on these unforgettable days.

Weddings

Get a Wedding Updo Trial

Meet with your hair stylist to discuss how you want your updo to look. During your consultation show your stylist pictures of updo styles. Your stylist will do a wedding trial updo while you're wearing your wedding gown and other accessories so you can see exactly how your hair style will look on your special day. You could try different updos until you find one you absolutely love.

Save Time by Getting an Onsite Updo

As a bride, your wedding day is the most exciting day of your life and probably one of the busiest as well. So many things have to be done that it can cause quite a bit of stress. Instead of having to make a trip to the salon to get your hair done, you could get an onsite updo instead. This would make it much more convenient for you and will relieve stress. Your hair dresser would go to your home before you head for the church and do your hair. To make it even more convenient, you could also ask your hair dresser to do onsite updos for your entire bridal party.

Get a Sunday Wedding Updo

Most salons are closed on Sundays so if that's the day of the week you're getting married you need to make special arrangements with the salon. You want to make sure that you get your hair done the day of the wedding and not the day before since it may not hold up. You could speak with the salon owner and see if it's possible for the salon to make an exception and open for you and your bridal party that day. Then you and your bridal party can get their updos done there.

Tips for Getting the perfect Updo for Your Prom

Deciding on the perfect hair style for your prom is very similar to that of your wedding. Just like a wedding, updos are very popular hairstyles for proms. In order to choose the perfect updo for your prom, get a trial updo. To make it more convenient and less stressful, you could get an onsite updo.
