Yes—we happily incorporate veils, combs, pins, flowers, and other accessories. Bring your items to the trial or appointment so the stylist can integrate them securely and advise on placement for comfort and photography.

Trials are highly recommended for weddings and major events to finalize style, timing, and accessory placement. A trial helps us adjust the look to your preferences and ensures confidence in the final day styling.

Our stylists adapt up-dos for most lengths and textures; we can add extensions or padding for volume and structure when needed. Schedule a consultation to review options and determine the best approach for your hair.
