Blowout or updo?
Plan your event look.

Choose your styling appointment around how you want to wear your hair and when you need to be ready. A clear reference helps the salon distinguish a blow-dried finish from a pinned event hairstyle.

Choose the appointment.

Blowouts and updos can suit different occasions. Focus on whether you want your hair down or arranged up, then discuss the finish, details and timing with your stylist.

Hair down: explore a blowout

A blowout uses blow-dry styling for a temporary finish. Discuss whether your reference calls for a smooth look, root volume or movement through the ends.

Hair arranged up: explore an updo

For a pinned or gathered look, explore updos and event styling. Show the front, back and side of your reference when possible.

Half-up or extra detail

If your reference has pinned sections, accessories or other details, ask which styling appointment fits. Confirm specific requests before booking a standard blowout.

Before your
appointment.

Use these details to plan your visit and discuss your preferences with the salon.

Think about your outfit

Consider the neckline and whether you want hair around your face or away from it. Bring a photo of your outfit if it helps explain the look.

Mention accessories

Tell the salon if you want to use a clip, comb or another accessory. Ask whether it suits your planned style and whether you should bring it to the appointment.

Plan from your ready-by time

Share the time you need to leave the salon, allowing for travel and getting dressed. Confirm the service duration and preparation instructions in advance.

Which is better for a wedding guest: a blowout or an updo?

Either may suit your plans. Decide how you want to wear your hair, consider your outfit and bring a reference. Ask the stylist which appointment fits the details you want.

Does a blowout appointment include pinned styling?

Check before booking. A look with pinned sections or event-specific details may require a different styling appointment. Show the salon your reference so time can be planned appropriately.

Should I wash my hair before the appointment?

Ask the salon for instructions for the exact service you book, including whether washing is included. Preparation can differ between styling appointments.

Can I add a haircut on the same day?

Haircuts are offered, but additional time must be reserved. Contact the salon to coordinate services and make sure the schedule fits your event.
