How to Prepare Your Hair Before a Special Event

A great event hairstyle starts before the styling appointment. A little preparation can make the process smoother whether you are getting ready for a wedding, birthday, photo session or Orlando night out.

Confirm your styling instructions

Different styles and services may call for freshly washed hair or hair prepared in another way. Follow the instructions provided for your specific appointment rather than guessing.

Bring inspiration

Save a few reference photos that show the shape, texture and finish you like. They are useful starting points for discussing what works with your own hair.

Think about clothing and accessories

Necklines, veils, hats, earrings and other accessories can affect the hairstyle. Have them available when possible.

Allow enough time

Build breathing room into your schedule. Rushing can turn an otherwise fun beauty experience into unnecessary stress.

Plan for the weather

For Orlando events, consider heat, humidity and time outdoors when selecting your finished look.
