First Time Getting an Updo? Essential Tips to Prepare

Feeling nervous about your first updo is completely normal. We understand that getting a new hairstyle can be a little daunting, especially if you’re unsure what to expect. One of our first-time visitors shared how much she appreciated our friendly atmosphere: "Walked into this nice salon for hair wash and blow dry on a visit to NYC. Great welcoming staff! Bruna and Aphelia were excellent! Pleased with my hairstyle, will go again on next visit!" Here’s what you should know to feel completely prepared.

Preparing for Your Updo Appointment

Before your appointment, it's a good idea to gather some inspiration photos of the updo styles you love. This helps us understand your vision, making it easier for your stylist to create exactly what you want. Plus, discussing your hair type and length ensures we tailor the style to work with your unique features.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

When you arrive at our salon, you'll be greeted by our welcoming team. After a quick consultation about your preferred style, we’ll get started! Expect some fun chats and pampering while we work on your hair. We often hear clients say they're pleasantly surprised by how relaxed they feel while getting styled.

"I had the most wonderful experience at Luna Lucci getting my balayage done! Joseph did my hair, and his meticulous attention to detail was truly impressive."

After Your Updo: Care & Maintenance

After your updo, it’s important to use a light hairspray to keep everything in place without feeling heavy. We generally recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment in a few weeks to maintain your style, especially if it’s for a special occasion. Our clients often tell us they feel beautiful and receive compliments long after they leave!

Insider Tips for Confidence

Always communicate openly with your stylist about how you feel. If you’re ever unsure about how the style is progressing, just ask! We love to involve our clients in the process. After all, we're here to make you feel fabulous. Many first-timers end up becoming regulars! One client shared, "Luna Lucci is my new favorite salon in NYC and it should be yours too!"

So gather those inspiration photos, and let’s make magic happen. We can’t wait to help you shine!
