Have a Look in Mind? Let’s Create a Plan.
Not every hairstyle fits neatly into a standard service menu.
You may have saved a braided hairstyle from Instagram, found a protective style on Pinterest, seen a creative look on TikTok, or combined ideas from several different photos. You may know exactly what you want, or you may simply have an inspiration photo and need help understanding which service is right for you.
At Uptown Hair Studio, our Custom Hairstyle Request option gives you a way to share your ideas and talk with our team about your desired look.
We welcome inspirational styles and inspired-by hairstyles. Whatever you call it, the process is simple: show us what inspires you, tell us what you want, and we will review the details with you.
What Is a Custom Hairstyle Request?
A custom hairstyle request is for a look that may not be listed as an exact service on our website or Square booking menu.
Your requested style may be:
Inspired by a photo from Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook, or another website
A combination of details from multiple hairstyles
A variation of a style we already offer
A custom braid or parting design
A creative protective style
A special occasion or event hairstyle
A custom loc, twist, sew-in, or natural hairstyle
A hairstyle you cannot identify by name but would like to discuss with a stylist
You do not need to know the technical name of the hairstyle. Send us the photo or describe what you like, and we can help determine the best way to approach your request.
Share Your Inspiration
When you submit your request, you may share:
An Instagram photo or post
A TikTok video or screenshot
A Pinterest image or board
A Facebook photo
A celebrity or event hairstyle
A screenshot from another website
Multiple inspiration photos
A written description of the look you want
Details about what you like or would like to change
For example, you might say:
“I like the length and parting pattern in this photo, but I want a different color.”
Or:
“I like the braids in this picture and the curly ends in another picture. Can we combine those ideas?”
The more information you provide, the easier it will be for our team to understand your vision.
How Custom Hairstyle Requests Work
Step 1: Find Your Inspiration
Save a photo, screenshot, video, link, or collection of images showing the hairstyle or details you like.
Step 2: Submit Your Request
Select Custom Hairstyle Request or the corresponding option through our online booking system.
Step 3: Tell Us About Your Vision
Share your inspiration and provide details about your hair, desired length, color, size, parting, extensions, appointment date, and anything else that may help us understand the look.
Step 4: Talk With Your Stylist
Our team will review your request and discuss what you want with you. We may ask questions about the style, your hair, the amount of time needed, and any materials required.
Step 5: Confirm the Service
Once the style, pricing, timing, and availability are confirmed, we will help you schedule the appropriate appointment.
Not Sure What Service to Book?
That is exactly why we offer Custom Hairstyle Requests.
You do not have to know whether your desired look should be booked as braids, twists, loc styling, a sew-in, a protective style, or another service category.
Simply show us what you have in mind. We will help determine which service best matches your desired look and appointment needs.
