Wedding & Formal Hair in Canberra

Elegant upstyles for the moments that matter — weddings, bridal parties, formals, race days and every special occasion. Our stylists design a polished, long-lasting look tailored to you, your outfit and your day.

Styled beautifully for your big day

Your wedding hair should feel like you — only a little more breathtaking. We start with a personalised consultation to design an updo that complements your dress, veil, neckline and the overall feel of your day, then craft a style built to last from the first photo to the last dance. Whether you picture a soft romantic chignon, a textured boho braid or a sleek classic bun, our stylists bring it to life. Booking a trial before the day is highly recommended so everything is perfect — just ask and we’ll arrange it.

Formals, races & every special occasion

It’s not just brides — we create show-stopping hair for bridesmaids, mothers of the bride, debutantes, school formals, race days and milestone celebrations. Group bookings for bridal parties are welcome; let us know your numbers and timing and we’ll plan the morning so everyone’s ready, relaxed and looking incredible. Add a touch of sparkle with hair tinsel for festive events. All upstyling is done in-salon at our Braddon studio — please arrive with clean, dry hair (unless you book the shampoo and blow wave option).

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book my wedding hair?

As early as you can — popular dates book out months ahead, especially over spring and summer. We also recommend a trial before the day, which we’ll happily arrange when you book.

Do you do hair for the whole bridal party?

Yes — bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and the whole group are welcome. Tell us your numbers and the time you need to be ready, and we’ll plan the morning around it.

Do you come to me, or is it in the salon?

All upstyling is done in-salon at our Braddon studio, Unit 102/16 Lonsdale Street — a relaxed, beautiful space to get ready in.

How should I prepare for an upstyle?

Arrive with clean, dry hair for the standard upstyle, or book the shampoo & blow wave option and we’ll take care of everything from the wash up.
