We prep the hair with heat-resistant products, shine enhancers, and a curl pattern that holds for 10+ hours — Calgary weather can be unpredictable, but our waves don’t budge.

Half-Up Glam Styles — Soft, Feminine &

Perfect for All Hair Lengths

Half-up styles continue to trend because they offer the best of both worlds — the softness and movement of loose hair, combined with the hold and structure of an updo.
