What to look for

  • For events, book a stylist who does them regularly — hold is a skill.
  • Long or thick hair usually attracts a surcharge and a longer slot.
  • For a group, check how many people can be styled at once and work backwards from when you need to leave.
  • A trial is worth it for a wedding and rarely worth it for anything else.

Common questions

How long does event hair take?
An express blow-dry is around 30 minutes, a full blow-dry 40 to 45, and an updo or event style around an hour. Bridal styling with a trial is usually booked as two separate appointments.
