A special event often comes with plenty to plan, and your beauty appointments can be much easier when you schedule them with the finished look in mind. Hair styling, extensions, color, and spray tanning can all contribute to how polished and comfortable you feel for weddings, dances, parties, photo sessions, milestone celebrations, and other important occasions.
At Priority Salon in Sandy, Utah, we recommend thinking about your appointments as part of one overall plan.
Start With The Look You Want
Before scheduling appointments, think about how you want to look and feel at your event. Inspiration photos can help, especially for hair, but your natural texture, length, current color, and normal routine are equally important.
A consultation or early conversation with your stylist can help establish what services make sense and when they should happen.
| Beauty Goal | Service To Consider | Suggested Planning |
|---|---|---|
| Polished event hairstyle | Styling or blowout | Close to event day |
| Added length or volume | Hair extensions | Plan ahead |
| Fresh hair color | Color service | Before final styling |
| Sun-kissed appearance | Spray tanning | Allow development time |
Your schedule may vary depending on the services involved, your hair history, and the result you want.
Plan Your Event Hairstyle Early
Your hairstyle usually has the biggest visual impact, especially for weddings, formal events, professional photos, and celebrations where you expect to be photographed frequently.
Priority Salon offers Hair Styling and Blowouts for polished blowouts, curls, sleek finishes, braiding, bridal styling, and special-event looks.
Bring reference photos that show:
- The amount of volume you like
- Hair worn up, down, or partially secured
- Curl or wave size
- Face-framing preferences
- Accessories such as veils, pins, or decorative pieces
- The neckline and general style of your outfit
Sharing these details helps your stylist understand the complete look you have planned.
Consider Extensions For Length And Fullness
Hair extensions can create additional length, density, and styling possibilities for special occasions. They can also provide extra hair for fuller curls, braids, ponytails, or formal upstyles.
If extensions are part of your plan, schedule your Hair Extensions consultation well before the event. Priority Salon requires a consultation before extension installation so your stylist can discuss technique, color matching, and the installation process.
Planning ahead also gives you time to become comfortable caring for and styling your extensions before your event arrives.
Clients who already wear extensions can schedule a Wash and Blow Dry with Extensions when they want their existing hair professionally refreshed and styled.
Refresh Your Hair Color Before The Event
Fresh color can help your hairstyle photograph beautifully, especially when dimensional tones catch the light through waves, curls, or textured styling.
Our Hair Color services include root maintenance, all-over color, glossing, highlights, balayage, vivid color, and corrective services. Your stylist can recommend an appointment schedule based on the type of color you receive and how freshly colored you want your hair to appear.
Avoid leaving major color changes until the final moment. Larger changes may require more planning based on your starting color, hair condition, and chemical history.
A gloss can also be useful for clients who already like their color and mainly want additional shine or a refreshed tone.
Add A Customized Spray Tan
A professional spray tan can add warmth and color before an event, vacation, photo session, or celebration.
Priority Salon offers Airbrush Spray Tanning that is applied by a professional and customized from a sun-kissed appearance to a deeper complexion. An Extra Dark Tan add-on is also available for clients seeking additional depth.
Good preparation and aftercare can influence how evenly your tan develops and how long it lasts. Priority Salon notes that an airbrush tan may last up to two weeks when recommended aftercare is followed.
Plan enough time for the color to develop before putting on your event outfit.
Build A Simple Appointment Timeline
For events involving several beauty services, create your schedule from the event date backward.
A practical sequence may include:
- Several weeks ahead: Discuss extensions, major hair-color changes, or a new haircut.
- One to two weeks ahead: Complete planned color maintenance or extension appointments.
- Several days ahead: Schedule your spray tanning appointment based on the recommended development time.
- Close to the event: Complete your final blowout, curls, bridal style, or event hairstyle.
Your exact timing can change based on the services selected. Ask us when booking if you need help planning several appointments around the same event.
Make Your Event Preparation Feel Manageable
Getting ready for a special occasion should leave you feeling confident and prepared. A thoughtful schedule allows each service to contribute to the final result without creating unnecessary last-minute appointments.
At Priority Salon in Sandy, Utah, we can help you plan hair styling, extensions, color, and spray tanning around the look you have in mind. Sharing your event date early gives our team a clearer picture of what you need and when each appointment should happen.
