Which style to book
Shampoo and style: a wash and a blowout, smooth or with movement. With Brian, Monique or Stephen.
Formal up-do: hair styled up and off your neck, from a sleek chignon to soft, textured shapes. With Brian, Monique or Stephen.
Formal half up: the top section styled up and the rest left down, curled or smooth. With Monique.
Who it suits
A blowout suits a dinner, a photo, a trip, or a week when you would rather not do your own hair. An up-do suits a wedding, a gala or any event where you want your hair off your neck all evening. A half-up style suits anyone who wants some length left down.
Want a cut as well? A haircut and style with Monique does both in one appointment.
When to book for an event
Book a blowout or an up-do for the day before or the day of your event. A blowout looks its best fresh, and an up-do is done for the event itself. For an evening event, a same-day appointment means you leave ready to go. For a morning event, or if you are traveling, the day before is the safer choice.
If you are also having color done, book it one to two weeks ahead, so the shade settles and there is time for an adjustment. See hair color for the options.
How the appointment goes
- The look: bring photos of the style you like, and of your outfit for an event.
- Wash and prep: a shampoo at the wash chairs for a blowout.
- Styling: your stylist builds the style to last through your day or your event.
- The finish: we check it from every angle before you leave.

Questions clients ask
What is the difference between a blowout and an up-do?
A blowout is washed, dried and styled with your hair down. An up-do styles your hair up and off your neck for an event.
When should I book for an event?
The day before or the day of. Book as soon as you know the date.
Can I bring photos?
Yes, please. Photos of the look and of your outfit help most.
Should I wash my hair before an up-do?
Ask your stylist when you book; the answer depends on your hair and the style.
