Popular Prom Hair We Create
From sleek buns to soft curls and everything in between, we know how to create Instagram-worthy styles that last through the night.
🔸 Hollywood Waves
Classic, timeless curls that frame your face with glam. Best for strapless or off-the-shoulder dresses.
🔸 Boho Braids & Twists
Laid-back yet polished styles featuring soft braids, fishtails, or twisted crowns. Ideal for outdoor proms or floral accessories.
🔸 Sleek High Ponytail
Chic, modern, and bold. Perfect with halter necklines or backless dresses. We smooth every strand for a glass-hair finish.
🔸 Half Up Half Down
Best of both worlds: volume on top, waves or curls flowing below. Customisable with plaits, twists, or accessories.
🔸 Soft Romantic Bun
Low and loose with volume and texture. A favourite for a fairy-tale feel. We love adding baby’s breath or pearl pins.
🔸 Chic Chignon
A polished low bun, either sleek or tousled. Great for a clean neckline and an elegant, grown-up look.
🔸 Braided Crown / Halo Braid
Adds drama and texture, giving princess-core or Grecian goddess energy. Works well with all hair lengths.
🔸 Voluminous Blowout
For girls who want bounce, shine, and effortless beauty. Looks fabulous on medium to long hair.
🔸 Textured Updo with Tendrils
Romantic, slightly undone updos with soft curls framing the face. Camera-ready and flattering from every angle.
💡 Bring your inspo pics—we’ll bring the tools, talent, and shine.
🎀 All styles can be enhanced with hair accessories, glitter spray. Just ask us during your consultation.
