Updo

In the most special moments of your life, at invitations where all eyes will be on you, or simply when you want to pamper yourself; your hair is the strongest signature of your style. As Baby Face Hair Salon, we design updo models best suited to your facial features, the neckline of your outfit, and the concept of the event you will attend. With our professional updo applications, which are much more than a simple tie-up, achieve hair that does not spoil all night long, looks great in photo frames, and makes you feel like a princess.

Updo Types and The Best One for You

At Baby Face, we offer a wide range of models suitable for every style and situation. Here are our most preferred updo types:

Messy Bun

The most popular trend of recent years, the messy bun offers an “effortless chic” look that seems like you didn’t try too hard. It creates a romantic atmosphere with fine strands falling from the face. It is especially ideal for country weddings, engagement ceremonies, and stylish dinners.

Sleek and Classic Bun (Ballerina Bun)

The symbol of grace and nobility. This model, where the hair is smoothly combed back, completely reveals facial features. It is generally a perfect choice for mermaid-style evening dresses, high-necked outfits, and formal invitations (tuxedo dress).

Bridal Updo (Bridal Hair)

There is no room for risk on the most important day of your life. These are special models designed with rehearsals, suitable for veil use, and will not fall apart even if you dance all day. Whether decorated with magnificent and stony accessories or simple and modern; it is the most important accessory complementing your wedding dress.

Braided and Hellenistic Updo

A more bohemian and young look is obtained with braids thrown in between the hair. It is a great option especially for prom nights, summer parties, and festival-concept events.

Low Bun (Chignon)

The choice of those looking for a modern and sophisticated look. Hair gathered at the nape of the neck exhibits a stance that is both simple and quite “cool.”

Updo Design According to Face Shape

Not every updo suits every face. As Baby Face experts, we start with an analysis. If you have a round face shape, we prefer models with volume on top to show the face longer. For angular or hard facial features, we apply wavy and messy models released from the sides to soften the face. Our aim is not just to tie the hair, but to reveal your facial beauty in the best way.

Application Process and Durability

The secret of a professional updo is hidden in a solid infrastructure. Our process proceeds with the following steps:

1. Preparation: Texture is gained with a blow-dry or curling iron (teasing or crimping) so that the hair can be processed.

2. Styling: The hair is gathered according to the determined model. Invisible pins and special techniques are used at this stage.

3. Fixing: To prevent the hair from being affected by wind, humidity, and movement, it is fixed with professional, gas-free sprays that do not make the hair “stiff like a helmet.” Your hair preserves the form of the first moment even at the end of the night.

Pricing and Duration

Updo prices vary according to the workmanship of the selected model, the length/density of the hair, the accessories to be used (hair extensions, postiche, etc.), and special packages such as bridal hair. While a simple daily bun takes 30-40 minutes, a detailed bridal updo or engagement hair can take up to 1.5 – 2 hours along with the rehearsal. We welcome you to our salon for the most accurate price information and model consultancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an updo be done on short hair?

Yes, updos can be done on shoulder-length (lob/bob) hair with suitable techniques. If your hair is too short for a bun, we can make the voluminous bun you desire with “postiche” or “clip-in” additions that match your color exactly.

Will my updo fall apart during the night?

As Baby Face Hair Salon, the subject we are most ambitious about is durability. Thanks to the professional fixatives and correct pinning techniques we use, your hair remains intact even at the most active weddings.

Do you do rehearsals for bridal hair?

Yes, we definitely recommend rehearsals for our brides. On a date we determine before the wedding day, we apply the hairstyle and check how it looks with the veil and accessories. Thus, you do not encounter any surprises on the big day.

Should I bring accessories with me?

If you have a special clip, crown, or flower suitable for your outfit, you can bring it with you. Apart from this, there are various hair accessories in our salon that will add sparkle to the model.

How long does the updo process take?

Although it varies according to the difficulty of the model to be made, it takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes on average.

Does a messy bun look like one done at home?

No, looking “messy” does not mean it was done randomly. A professional messy bun is a technical process where every strand is carefully placed, its volume is calculated, and it is fixed. The difference from the one done at home is that it does not deflate all day long and looks much more aesthetic.
