A bridal blowout includes a shampoo, conditioning treatment, and professional blow-dry with a long-lasting styling finish. Brides can also schedule a trial appointment to ensure the look complements the dress, veil, and makeup.
For bridal parties, we offer coordinated in-salon styling to keep the morning organized and stress-free. We also provide elegant blowouts and updos for galas, corporate events, rehearsal dinners, and special celebrations.
Seasonal Event Styling — Holiday Parties & Beyond
Throughout the year, different events create different styling needs. Our salon offers seasonal event blowouts to help clients prepare for Chicago’s busiest celebration periods. During the holiday season, we style hair for company parties, galas, and New Year’s events. From spring through fall, Chicago’s busy wedding season brings many brides and guests looking for event blowouts. Spring also includes prom and graduation styling. During quieter months, same-week blowout appointments are often available for last-minute events and special occasions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
For weddings, galas, and other important events, it’s best to book your event blowout at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance. Chicago’s wedding season, which typically runs from spring through early fall, fills appointment slots quickly—especially for Friday and Saturday styling. Holiday seasons from November through January can also be very busy due to company parties and celebrations. Booking early ensures you have access to your preferred date, time, and stylist. If you’re part of a bridal party or coordinating multiple services, even earlier booking is recommended so the salon can organize a smooth styling timeline for everyone involved.
-
A professional event blowout usually lasts between three and five days, depending on your hair type, daily routine, and Chicago weather conditions. Clients with thicker or naturally textured hair may see their style last even longer with proper care. To extend the life of your blowout, we recommend using dry shampoo at the roots, sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase, and avoiding excess humidity or moisture. Lightly wrapping or pinning the hair overnight can also help maintain volume and shape. Your stylist can recommend professional products and simple maintenance tips to keep your blowout looking fresh for several days.
-
Yes. Our blowout and updo combo service is designed to give clients a complete formal style during a single appointment. The service begins with a professional blowout to build the volume, smoothness, and texture needed for a long-lasting style. Once the hair is fully prepared, the stylist shapes it into an elegant updo or half-up style tailored to your event. This approach helps the final look hold better and photograph beautifully. It’s a popular choice for weddings, black-tie events, galas, and formal dinners where clients want a polished hairstyle that stays secure and stylish throughout the entire event.
