Hair Up appointments at Paris Russell in Crawley are designed for occasions when you need a polished, secure style that lasts. Our team consults on your event, outfit, and personal preferences before building an updo tailored to suit your hair and the day ahead, whether that's a wedding, prom, party, or another celebration.

More information

What the Appointment Involves

You'll arrive with clean, dry hair (washed the day before works best, as very fresh hair can be too slippery to pin securely). The stylist discusses your event, neckline, accessories, and inspiration, then preps and sections your hair using products and heat tools to add texture, volume, and hold.

Hair is carefully pinned, twisted, braided, or curled into place, with grips, elastics, and sometimes padding used to build shape and structure. Styles range from sleek chignons and French twists to softer, textured updos with braids or curls. If you're bringing a veil, tiara, or hair accessory, let us know in advance so the style can accommodate it.

Who Hair Up Suits

Hair Up works well for most lengths and textures, though very short or very heavy hair may need adjustments or extra prep for the best result. It's ideal for clients attending weddings, proms, formal events, or parties who want a refined, comfortable style that stays secure and looks polished throughout the day.

Many clients book a trial appointment in advance for important occasions, particularly weddings, to test the style and make any tweaks before the main event. Trials are booked separately and help align expectations with what your hair can realistically achieve.

Aftercare and What to Expect

Your updo is designed to last through your event, but avoid brushing through it, heavy touching, or exposure to rain and wind where possible. If a section loosens, use a grip or light spray to re-secure it rather than combing through.

Book your Hair Up appointment to finish one to two hours before you need to leave, allowing time for any final adjustments and reducing the risk of the style dropping before your event begins. If your hair is particularly thick, fine, or textured, mention this when booking so appropriate prep time can be planned.

    I have been coming to this salon for quite a while now. It was highly recommended, and although it’s a bit of a trek it’s well worth it. Paris is outstanding with her professional knowledge and listens. The atmosphere is relaxed and staff are friendly. As a customer you feel spoilt with drinks, iPads and lovely cakes! The decor is out of this world too. Would recommend to everyone who wants a really great service. Pick up the phone and book! Services Blow dry, Hairstyling, Hair highlighting

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Hair Up cost at Paris Russell?
Hair Up is priced at £45 for a 60-minute appointment. Trial appointments for weddings or other important occasions are booked separately and priced individually.
How should I prepare my hair before a Hair Up appointment?
Wash your hair the day before and arrive with it completely dry. Avoid heavy conditioner or oil on the roots, as this can make hair too slippery to pin securely and reduce hold.
How long does a Hair Up appointment take?
A standard Hair Up appointment takes around 60 minutes. This allows time for consultation, prep, and careful construction of the style on clean, dry hair.
Can I bring accessories like a tiara, veil, or hair clips?
Yes. Let the stylist know in advance if you plan to wear a veil, tiara, hat, or other accessory so the updo can be designed to support and incorporate it securely.
Should I book a trial before my wedding or event?
Trials are recommended for weddings and other important occasions. A trial lets you test the style, make adjustments, and ensure the final look matches your expectations and outfit.
Will my Hair Up style last all day?
Yes, when cared for properly. Avoid brushing through it, limit touching, and protect it from rain and humidity. If a section loosens, use a grip or light spray to re-secure it.
What styles can I choose for Hair Up?
Options include sleek chignons, buns, French twists, braided updos, textured or boho styles, and half-up looks. Your stylist will discuss what suits your hair type, face shape, outfit, and event during the consultation.
Does Hair Up work on short or fine hair?
Hair Up can be adapted for most lengths and textures, though very short or fine hair may require adjustments, added texture, or extensions for certain styles. Discuss your hair during consultation or trial.
When should I book my Hair Up appointment on the day of my event?
Aim to finish one to two hours before you need to leave. This gives time for any final tweaks and ensures the style is fresh without risk of dropping before your event begins.
Can I have Hair Up done at the same time as colour or other services?
Hair Up requires clean, dry hair prepared in advance, so it's usually booked as a separate appointment. Speak to the team if you'd like to plan colour or cutting around your occasion styling.
