Hairstyle / Braiding / Hollywood Waves 

What is the hairstyling and braiding service?

Our hairstyling and braiding service creates a finished look without changing your haircut or colour. The appointment includes washing with professional products selected for your hair type, applying heat protection and creating your chosen style — from ponytails and buns to updos and braided looks.

Your stylist finishes with products chosen to hold the shape while preserving natural movement.

Who is hairstyling and braiding suitable for?

This service is a versatile option for everyday styling and special occasions. It is suitable for:

• A polished everyday look: when you want a neat, elegant hairstyle without styling it yourself.
• Special occasions, photoshoots and business meetings: when you need a hairstyle that lasts and complements your outfit.
• Trying a different look: braids and updos offer a change without cutting or colouring your hair.
• Medium-length and long hair: shoulder-length hair and longer lengths allow for a wide range of braided details, textured ponytails and elegant knots.

If you prefer to wear your hair down, explore our straight blow-dry or curls and waves styling services.

Types of hairstyles and braids

Our stylists use a range of techniques to create a shape that suits your features and the look you have in mind:

• Bun: a sleek low bun, high bun or textured style for everyday wear, business settings or special occasions.
• Ponytail: a high or low ponytail with added volume, texture, curls or a concealed fastening.
• French twist: a refined updo for formal occasions, dinners and business events that highlights the neck and shoulders.
• Braids: French braids, fishtail braids, voluminous styles or intricate braided details, worn as a complete hairstyle or an accent.
• Updos with curls: curls or waves combined with pinned sections to create volume and texture.

How does this service differ from Something Special hairstyling?

Our standard hairstyling and braiding service covers simple to moderately detailed looks that can be completed within a standard appointment.

For an intricate bridal or occasion hairstyle, a sculptural updo, extensive use of hairpieces or elaborate decorative details, choose our Something Special hairstyling service. It allows more time for complex techniques and detailed finishing.

What determines the price of hairstyling and braiding?

Hairstyling and braiding at BACKSTAGE costs UAH 1,550–2,250. The final price depends on:

• Hair length and thickness: long or thick hair requires more preparation, drying and styling time.
• The complexity of your chosen style: the detail of the braids, the number of elements and the techniques needed to secure the hair.
• Your stylist’s category: prices vary according to the stylist you choose.
• The salon location: prices may vary slightly between BACKSTAGE salons.
• Additional accessories: decorative pieces, ribbons or specialist accessories that you have not brought with you.
