Prom Hair in Reading

Why Choose Us for Your Prom Hair in Reading?

Prom is one of the biggest nights of your school life—and your hair needs to be flawless. At The 5th Element, we deliver long-lasting, red-carpet-ready hairstyles tailored to your personal style, dress, and vibe.

We don’t do mobile, but we do offer exclusive in-salon group bookings, so you and your friends can enjoy a glam session together while we get you all photo-ready.

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.

💇‍♀️ Style Guide for Your Prom Hair:

  • Round face? Try a high ponytail or soft waves with volume on top to elongate.

  • Heart-shaped face? Go for a textured updo or half-up style to balance your features.

  • Square jawline? Soft curls and side parts add movement and softness.

  • Wearing a strapless dress? Show off your neckline with an elegant chignon or loose bun.

  • Wearing a high-neck gown? Choose sleek styles like a low ponytail or half-up half-down with twists.
