The starting point

Match the hairstyle to how you want to feel

A special-occasion hairstyle can feel polished without being unfamiliar. For Basildon clients visiting Sixteen A, explain the finish you enjoy wearing and what you would like to change for the event. The service takes place in the Canvey Island salon, with the appointment arranged directly with Tina.

Make the most of your appointment

Keep your preferences visible

If you like movement around your face or prefer everything lifted away, say so. A reference is more useful when you can identify the details you want to keep.

Compare up and down

Hair-up and a bouncy blowdry create different effects. Ask which service fits the outline you have in mind before confirming the booking.

Share the event timetable

Tell Tina when you need to leave for the celebration. A daytime event and an evening arrival may give you different appointment constraints.

Before you visit

Arrange the visit before the event

Contact Tina with your date, hair length and style idea. Confirm the service, price and preparation, then plan the journey from Basildon to the salon separately from the event journey.

Ask Tina about your appointment

Looking after your hair afterwards

Ask how to protect the finish if you have time between the salon visit and the celebration. No fixed wear time is promised for every hair type or style.

A few useful answers

Special-occasion hair: your questions

Can I request a look that is less formal than bridal hair?

Yes. Describe the degree of polish and the shape you want. Special-occasion styling is discussed around your own event and preferences.

Can I add a haircut to my styling appointment?

Mention cutting in the original enquiry. Tina needs to confirm both services and the appointment time; do not assume a cut can be added on arrival.
