Our Signature Hairstyle Guide
Everything you need to know about our signature hairstyles—from style inspiration and hair type recommendations to maintenance, longevity, and humidity tips.
This is probably the #1 question clients have.
Hair worn down in curls or waves is best for hair that naturally holds a curl.
If your hair tends to lose curl, we may recommend our premium clip-in extensions for added fullness and improved longevity.
If your hair has a history of dropping curls, let your stylist know during your consultation so we can recommend the best style for you. An Updo style may be best if you are concerned for longevity

Hair Prep Guide
-
Yes! Please arrive with clean, completely dry hair. We recommend washing your hair the night before or the morning of your appointment, depending on your hair type. Hair should be free of oils, heavy styling products, and product buildup for the best results.
We can add a Professional Shampoo for an additional fee
-
No. Your hair does not need to be straightened before your appointment. Simply arrive with your hair clean and completely dry in its natural texture.
-
Yes, as long as your hair is clean and completely dry. You do not need to straighten or style your hair before your appointment—we'll take care of that. Please do not add curls with your own heat tools.
-
Every hair type is different. If your hair naturally struggles to hold a curl, let your stylist know. We may recommend a different hairstyle or our premium clip-in extensions to improve fullness and longevity.
-
No. This is one of the biggest hair styling myths! We recommend arriving with clean, completely dry hair that has been washed within the last 24 hours. Freshly washed hair provides the best foundation for long-lasting styling and allows products to perform properly.
Please avoid arriving with heavy oils, dry shampoo, texture spray, or product buildup, as these can make it more difficult to achieve the best results
-
Wear a button-up, zip-up, or wide-neck top that can be removed without disturbing your hairstyle. If you're preparing for a special event, wearing a similar neckline to your outfit can also help you visualize the finished look.
-
Absolutely! We encourage you to bring 2–5 inspiration photos that reflect the hairstyle you're hoping to achieve. We'll use them as a guide while also recommending adjustments based on your hair type, density, and what will wear best throughout your event.
-
Yes! We can style with your own clip-in extensions, but they must arrive freshly washed and completely dry, even if they're brand new. If they arrive dirty or damp, we may not be able to use them. Extension installation may be an additional charge.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Nothing means more to us than earning the trust of our clients.
"I hired the Pearl Girl Makeup team for my wedding and I'm so happy I did! It started off with a trial that went very well — Brittany and Ashley were amazing at listening to my needs and desires for my dream makeup and hair. My hair and makeup lasted all night — even through the many tears and many, many hugs to guests! I loved my look and had so many compliments. I felt amazing and so did my bridesmaids.
"Michaela and her team were amazing to deal with right from the start. Their team is wonderful to deal with! They send reminder emails and prep information, and when I went for my trial Michaela was so inviting and genuinely interested in making sure everything was perfect. I would 100% go back to Michaela and her team for any future event."
“They were wonderful to work with! She looked at photos of what I wanted and was able to create the look perfectly. She made me feel beautiful! She is very talented, professional, knowledgeable, and truly understands what her clients are looking for."
