Hair Up

From £53 - £77
60 min

Hair Up is a finished, occasion-ready style designed to lift the hair away from the face and neckline for a polished look that photographs beautifully and stays secure. Whether you want a smooth chignon, soft waves pinned back, or a modern textured updo, your style is shaped around your outfit, hair type and how you want to feel on the day.

Hair Up styling: what’s included

Every Hair Up appointment focuses on shape, security and a clean finish, so your style looks intentional from every angle.

  • A quick consultation on the look you want, your outfit neckline and any accessories.
  • Preparation with sectioning and controlled styling, using heat tools where needed.
  • Secure pinning and structure for comfort and staying power.
  • Polished detailing around the hairline, parting and crown (smooth or softly textured).
  • Finishing work to refine flyaways, add shine or texture, and lock the style in place.
  • Placement of a clip, comb, fascinator or veil if you bring one.

Hair Up for weddings, parties and race days

Hair Up suits days when you want your hair to look composed for hours, even with hugging, dancing and plenty of photos. It is ideal if you want your face framed, your neckline on show, or a style that will not drop into your eyes as the day goes on. If you are unsure between an updo and half-up, you can discuss both and choose what complements your features and outfit.

How your Hair Up is built: shape first, then security

Your stylist will create the foundation first, then add detail and balance so the style looks even from the front, sides and back. For a sleeker result, hair is smoothed and controlled before pinning; for a softer look, texture and movement are created first and then secured. Comfort matters, so pins are placed with tension that holds without feeling tight.

Keeping your Hair Up looking fresh after you leave

Avoid running your fingers through the style and let the pins do the work. If you are wearing a coat, choose one that does not rub the crown or back of the head. At the end of the day, remove pins slowly and detangle gently, starting at the ends before brushing through fully.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare my hair for a Hair Up appointment?
Arrive with clean, dry hair unless you have booked a blow-dry beforehand. Avoid heavy oils or masks on the day as they can make pinning less secure. Bring a photo of your outfit and any accessories you want fitted.
Can Hair Up work on shorter or finer hair?
Yes, many hair lengths and textures can be styled into a lifted, secure look. Your stylist may recommend a half-up style, more texture, or a compact twist to suit what your hair can comfortably hold. If you use clip-in extensions, bring them along so they can be blended and pinned in neatly.
Can you fit a fascinator, clip or veil into my Hair Up?
Yes, bring your accessory with you so it can be positioned for comfort and balance. The style can be structured to support the piece and keep it steady. If the item needs pins, your stylist will secure it discreetly.
Will my Hair Up last all day and evening?
A well-built Hair Up is designed to hold for hours with secure pinning and the right finishing products. Longevity depends on hair texture, weather and how much movement is involved, but the aim is a stable shape that still looks soft. If you have a particularly long day planned, mention it so the hold can be adjusted.
Do I need a trial for Hair Up?
A trial is helpful if you have a wedding or a major event and want to confirm the exact shape, volume and accessory placement. It is also useful if you are choosing between two different looks. For simpler occasion styles, you may be happy to decide on the day with a clear reference photo.
