Prom Updo Hairstyles

How can I get that classy updo prom or formal hairstyle? First you need medium to long length hair. You will also need some ponytail holders, gel, and long pins. Don't rely on too much hair gel as this just makes your hair stiff. You want your curls to be loose. First, pull your hair up, use some baby powder to add fullness and then tease your hair. You have to slick back your hair with gel. Part it on the side and pull the hair down. You may need the help of a hair rat. It will help you pull your hair down if you have real smooth hair. You will still need lots of long pins.

Starting with just straight hair, you can use large curlers to get those nice big curls. Be sure to use plenty of pins, flexible hairspray, not the max hold kind, and gel if you need it.

Use what works best for your hair. Stuart Simpson

Long Hair and Updo Hairstyles

You have straight hair and you are ready for an updo or "long hair" service and you go to a full service salon and what - they don't offer "long hair" service. Some of the reasons hairstylists don't offer "long hair" or updo service is because:

None of their clients have long hair

Never learned how

Takes too long

Too confusing

To the hairstylist, watching is easy. If you are able to offer total hair services, including long hair, then you'll be keeping new clients instead of sending them away. When you are in-between appointments, this will offer you practice to gain confidence and allows you to display your work to your customers.

Advertise that you do long hair. Let the bridal shops know you are available, along with the formal dress shops. Girls going to prom always want fancy hairstyles. Offer your services free to the bridal show as a promotion for your business. This helps you gain more updo customers and helps the bridal shop. Win-win.

Complimentary cards are very good, too. As always, if they don't need long hair services, they will probably pass the card onto a friend.

How much should you charge or expect to pay for long hair or updo services?
