HAIR UP
What is a hair up? Not in the literall sence, but more as a concept. A hair up is designed to match, lift and support the outfit, the dress or the look for a particular occasion.
When designing a hair up there aren't any rules. You can work with the look in the obvious style or work in contrast to the look. Why we want to lift this as a concept is because we see a stagnation in the industry and the bad reputation surrounding the word. We also see that the hair ups often has a dated feeling compared to the outfit. This is where we believe we can make a change together; To give clients stronger, cooler and more suitable looks that supports the personal expression and the unity of the look for that particular occasion.
