Hair up ideas for brides and special occasions

bridal hair&makeup
Fresh flowers give bridal hairstyles a feminine touch.

I’ve been doing Asian bridal hair and make-up since ’96, I’m based in North West London (Middlesex) but travel in and around the London area. I mainly do bridal work but will do non bridal make-up and hair up styles without a bridal booking if it’s nearer to the time (I take bridal bookings in advance and non bridal bookings a few weeks/months/days before the event). I do single and group hair bookings mainly within my local area of Northwest London which includes; Kingsbury, Colindale, Hendon, Edgware, Stanmore, Kenton, Harrow, Ruislip, Eastcote, Pinner, Hatch End, Wembley, Greenford, Hounslow, Heston, Heathrow, Southall, Northolt, Northwood, Slough, Isleworth, Watford, Queensbury, Cannons Park, Ealing, Rayners Lane and Neasden (and anywhere close to these areas).  Sometimes I also travel further so if you wish to discuss a group booking you can contact me here. You can also view my main bridal hair and make-up portfolio here.

This page will be updated to create a collection of hair up styles that are not on my main website but suitable for brides and special occasions. If you are looking more for traditional braided styles or traditional braids with a modern twist then Click here for some braided hair style ideas.

Bridal hair
Leaving out the ends of the hair gives this bridal hairstyle a less structured look.

Low roll with curls
A variation of the above low roll at the nape of the neck but instead of twists the hair is folded and pinned to give a slightly different look.
Roll with ruffles - side flower
This asymmetric style consists of loose ruffles draped and pinned for a soft tousled effect sitting on top of a low sweep of hair.
