Which style should you choose?

Choose by how long the event is and how much you move.

• Updo: A good choice for a long night of dancing. It keeps hair off your neck and face.
• Half up half down: It gives you length and shape. It suits many hair lengths and works with clip or pin details.
• Hollywood waves: A polished wave suits formal dinners and photos. It needs good prep and finishing to hold.

Why choose Alex Hair Salon in the Annex for event hair

The salon is at 851 Bloor Street West in Toronto’s Annex.

I am a professional hairstylist with more than 11 years of experience. I do not travel to venues so all styling is done at the salon. Allow time to get here. Tell me about your event and your outfit and I choose a style and a method that suit your hair.

How should you prepare your hair?

Plan your wash day and talk to me about how your hair behaves.

Hair style guides suggest that some styles work best on freshly washed hair and others suit day two hair. Clean soft hair can be harder to hold in an updo. Tell me what your hair is like when you book. I choose products and a method that suit it. If you use heat tools at home use heat protection first.

What should you bring?

Bring photos and a picture of your outfit.

Your neckline and earrings and any hair accessories change what looks best. If you wear a necklace or a collar tell me. Bring any clips or pins you want to use.

How do you make the style last?

Use hold products as I advise and avoid touching the style.

Hairspray and humidity resistant products can help a style last. Keep your hands off the hair and avoid heavy products that weigh down waves. If you need to sit in a coat for a long time loosen the coat so it does not crush the style. Party dates fill quickly so book as early as you can.
