School Picture-Day Hairstyles
Picture day is a moment worth preparing for. Choose a style your child feels comfortable wearing for photos and the school days that follow.
Depending on hair length, the selected service and stylist availability, options may include:
- Cornrows and braided designs.
- Natural-hair braids.
- Two-strand twists and flat twists.
- Braided ponytails or updos.
- Loc retwists and styling.
- Extension styles available on our current booking menu.
Send an inspiration photo and a current hair photo when you need help choosing the correct appointment. Please confirm accessories or added-hair requirements in advance.
Graduation, Senior Portraits & Cap-and-Gown Photos
Your graduation hairstyle needs to work for the photographs you’re taking—not just the ceremony date.
Schedule around your actual senior-portrait or graduation-photo session. If you’ll wear a cap, let us know before the appointment so we can discuss a style with suitable placement and volume.
Braids, twists, cornrows and loc styles can provide options for both cap-and-gown portraits and photos without the cap. The right service depends on your hair, desired look and the time available.
Professional Headshots & Personal Branding
Natural hair belongs in professional photographs.
Prepare for a new role, business launch, website update or personal-branding shoot with a style that reflects how you want to show up.
Explore natural braids, twists, cornrows and loc styling for professional women and men. Bring your inspiration and tell us about your shoot, clothing and preferred finish so we can discuss the available options.
Family Photos & Special Moments
Planning family portraits, a birthday shoot or another milestone?
Coordinate your hair appointment with your photographer’s schedule. If more than one family member needs an appointment, contact us early to discuss consecutive appointments and stylist availability. Each person requires sufficient service time.
