Blowouts, updos, formal event styling, wedding day hair, and braid styling — 25 years of experience styling for every occasion from school dances to grandmothers’ weddings. Every appointment includes a free consultation about your event, your hair, and what’ll actually hold from morning through dinner.
The hardest thing about event styling isn’t the style itself — it’s the hold. A beautiful updo that falls apart three hours into a wedding reception isn’t a beautiful updo. Twenty-five years of styling has taught me that hold comes from prep work, the right technique, and products matched to your specific hair type — not from drowning a style in hairspray and hoping.
What I style most often: regular blowouts that make a haircut look its best, formal event styling for graduations and reunions, wedding day hair (bride and bridal parties), updos and braid styling for prom and homecoming, and special-request styling for photos. Every appointment starts with a conversation about your event — how long you need the hair to hold, what you’ll be doing, and how you want to feel when you see yourself in the photos afterward.
Final price depends on hair length, density, and style complexity. The free consultation gives an exact quote before booking.
Blowout / Style
from $45
Wash, dry, and styled finish. The “look like you just left the salon” service for any day that matters.
Updo

Pinned, twisted, or braided up styles. The everyday formal — for work events, dinners, or casual weddings.
Formal Event Styling
from $65
Prom, graduation, family reunions, formal photos. Includes a trial style for events 4+ weeks out.

Bride or bridal party member. Includes a pre-wedding trial style and day-of touch-up. Book 6+ months ahead.
Bridal parties of 3+ get a per-person discount when booked together. Cash, card, or Venmo accepted.
Why trial styles matter
For weddings, proms, and major events, I strongly recommend a trial style 4-6 weeks before the event. This gives us a chance to see what your hair actually does on the day, photograph the result, and adjust before the appointment that has to be perfect. The trial style is included in the wedding day price; for other events it’s available as a separate appointment at a reduced rate.
Styling is the service where preparation matters most. A 60-minute styling appointment with five minutes of consultation almost always disappoints; a 75-minute appointment with 15 minutes of consultation almost always succeeds. Here’s exactly what happens.

How do I book a styling appointment?
Call or text (435) 580-9160, or email girlshairstyles2012@gmail.com. Regular blowouts and styling book one to two weeks ahead. Wedding day styling books six months ahead, prom and graduation book six to eight weeks ahead. Same-day appointments are sometimes available — call to check. The salon is by appointment only with no walk-ins.
How long does a styling appointment take?
A blowout takes 30 to 45 minutes. An updo takes 45 to 75 minutes. Formal event styling with a consultation runs 60 to 90 minutes. Wedding day styling is 60 to 90 minutes plus a touch-up before the ceremony. Braid styling varies by braid — single Dutch braid takes 15 minutes, full bridal braid styling can run 45 minutes.
Can you do wedding day styling for the whole bridal party?
Yes — bridal parties of 3 or more get a per-person discount when booked together. For larger parties (5+), the wedding-day appointment usually starts early in the morning to ensure everyone is finished in time. I recommend booking 6+ months ahead for weddings, and scheduling a trial style for the bride 4-6 weeks before the wedding. Trial styles are included in the wedding day price.
Should I wash my hair before a styling appointment?
For most styling, day-old hair (not freshly washed) holds better than clean hair. Specifically, hair washed 24 hours before the appointment has a small amount of natural oil that helps the style grip. I’ll wash and prep at the appointment as needed. For weddings and major events, follow the specific instructions I give you at the trial — every bride’s hair behaves differently and I’ll tailor the prep advice.
How long will the style hold?
A properly prepped and styled blowout lasts 3 to 5 days with normal wear. Updos and event styling hold all day and through normal activity — including dancing, photos, hugs, and dinner. Wedding styling specifically is built for all-day hold from morning ceremony through reception. The touch-up kit you leave with covers any minor settling that happens during long events.
Can I bring inspiration photos?
Yes — absolutely bring photos. The consultation is also when I’ll tell you honestly which parts of the photo will translate to your hair and which won’t. Hair type, density, length, and face shape all change what’s possible. I’ll suggest adjustments that get you 90% of the photo’s feel while working with your actual hair.
Do you style hair for proms and homecomings?
Yes, this is a big part of what I do every spring. Prom and homecoming styling books fast — usually six to eight weeks before the event. I recommend booking as soon as you know the date. Most prom appointments are styling only (no haircut), but if you’re combining a fresh cut with styling, book those together at the same appointment.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, all major credit and debit cards, and Venmo. For wedding parties, a deposit holds the date (typically half of the total), with the balance due on the wedding day. Tipping is appreciated but never expected.
