Whether you want a sleek, high-fashion updo or soft, romantic waves for your cocktail night, I build styles that stay in place. I specialize in adding natural volume and structural support so your hair looks perfect from your first look to the last dance.

This is a bold and glamorous cocktail look. I created a high, textured updo with a dramatic side-swept fringe that adds an element of high fashion. It's a confident style perfect for making an entrance.

For a fun and edgy party look, I created this sleek, high bun with a twist. I added a streak of green glitter through the hair, which catches the light beautifully and adds a pop of unexpected color.

A client looking absolutely stunning with a romantic updo. The hair is gathered loosely at the back with soft tendrils left out to frame her face, creating a very feminine and sophisticated cocktail look.

This is a very modern and sleek hairstyle for a cocktail event. The hair is straightened and pulled back tightly on one side, adorned with a large, sparkling silver hair accessory for a dramatic effect.

For this look, I went with voluminous, soft waves pinned back loosely. It's a half-up, half-down style that feels glamorous and relaxed at the same time, perfect for a party or a special dinner.

About Modern Updos & Cocktail Styles

If you are worried about fine hair, I use synthetic padding and root crimping to build volume that lasts through a dance-heavy cocktail night. My styles are designed to stay secure, so whether you choose a sleek snatched ponytail or a romantic messy bun, you won't need to worry about touch-ups before the party ends.
