Circles of Hair styles hair and does makeup for weddings, races, formals and every good reason to look properly finished: blow dries, our Signature Waves, event upstyles and makeup, at two Perth salons with late nights and early Saturdays.
Event styling is a different discipline from everyday styling. It has to cope with heat, dancing, a veil and a car with the windows down.
EventsWeddings, school balls, formals, launches and race days, week in week out
Prep firstPreparation, product choice and pinning technique are the parts we control
One lookBook hair and makeup together and the two are designed as one
How any style behaves depends on your hair, the weather and the day itself, so we will not put a number on it. What we do control is where the difference between a professional upstyle and a DIY one shows up.
Book hair and makeup together and the eye is balanced against the hairline, the finish is matched to the lighting you will actually be in, and you are out the door faster. For weddings and bridal parties, start with a trial and we will build the morning’s schedule with you.
All styling services are available at both Subiaco and Fitzgerald, with late nights on Wednesday and Thursday and an 8am start on Saturdays. Prices range across our five stylist levels.
$80 – $112
Blowdry & Style
Best for: Looking properly finished for dinner, a shoot, a presentation or just a good Friday.
A soothing wash and scalp massage, a flawless blow-out and a finish styled the way you want it: smooth and sleek, soft and bouncy, or straight and glass-like. Tell your stylist which and it is done.
Best for: Big, bouncy, properly voluminous hair with more staying power than a standard blow dry.
Wash, blow-dry, then a classic velcro roller set that cools into shape. The rollers are what give this style its staying power. It is the service to book when you want the most volume we can give you.
Best for: That polished, textured wave you have saved eleven photos of.
Our most-booked styling service and the one people recognise us for. Irons or a wand are used to build movement and texture rather than uniform curls, brushed out to sit soft, deliberate and undone. Works on almost every hair length and type.
Best for: A fresh-looking blow dry when your hair is already clean and you are short on time.
The look of a fresh blowout without the wash. A styling-only service using hot tools to build smooth volume, shape and a polished finish. Wash is not included, so come with clean, dry hair.
Best for: Weddings, races, formals, black tie: anything where the hair has to be right all the way through.
Buns, ponytails, half-up half-down, braided detail, sculpted and undone. Bring your inspiration photos or let our artists recommend a shape for your dress, your face and your hair’s texture. Pinned and set properly, with the grips and product placed where your hair actually needs them. Prefer it all in one appointment? Book Blow Dry & Event Upstyle and we wash, blow-dry and set the style together – $185–$200, 1 hr 30 minutes.
Book makeup with your hair and the two looks are designed together, and you are in and out faster.
$150
Full Face Makeup
Best for: Weddings, formals, race day and anything that gets photographed.
Our in-house makeup artists build an on-trend application designed to photograph beautifully and hold all night. A tailored lash application is included.
Booking hair and makeup together takes 2–2.5 hours in total. Groups of four or more, please call 1300 160 198 so we can roster the right stylists.

Event day
Getting your timing right
The most common reason an event morning goes sideways is the schedule, not the hair. Here is how to plan it.
01
Work backwards from photos
Not from the ceremony. Photographers usually start 1 hour before. That is your real deadline.
02
Allow 2–2.5 hours
For hair and makeup together. Hair alone is 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the style.
03
Come with dry, day-two hair
It holds pins and shape far better than freshly washed hair. Wash the day before and skip conditioner at the roots.
04
Bring your photos, and your outfit
Three or four inspiration shots, plus a photo of the dress, headpiece or veil so the hair is designed around it, not against it.
05
Book a trial for weddings
Well before the day. We lock the look in, test how it holds on your hair, and time the morning properly.
It was my first time visiting Circles of Hair, and I was honestly quite nervous because I’m usually terrified of getting my hair coloured. From the very beginning, Emma made me feel so comfortable and at ease.
I had a few inspiration pictures, and Emma guided me so well and explained exactly what colours would work best and what needed to be mixed. She and Izzy were absolutely amazing — quick, professional, warm, and so talented. They did such a wonderful job with the colour and even recommended mixing the same colour with conditioner to take home to help the colour and shine last longer.
Adam also worked wonders with my haircut! He is a magician, full of sass, skill, and fun. He really knows how to tailor your haircut to suit you and somehow makes you feel like the best version of yourself (inside and out)!
The entire team was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely. They’re an absolute dream team, and I couldn’t be happier with how my hair turned out. Highly recommend! ❤️

I had such a wonderful experience with Indiah! I walked in without an appointment just before closing, and the entire team was so welcoming and kind.
Indiah gave me a beautiful shampoo, blow-dry and style. When she realised I was in a rush, she asked a colleague to help, and they had me looking amazing and out the door in under 30 minutes—just in time for my meeting!
Thank you so much, Indiah and the whole team, for fitting me in at the last minute and taking such great care of me. I absolutely loved the result and the experience! xoxo, D.

I had my hair done by the lovely Montana! I was very hesitant at first, but the Qiqi treatments has done wonders for my hair! Montana was excellent and gave me so many tips! Thanks xx
Team of 4 ladies is super nice and makes you feel very comfortable. They offered consultation, guided us through every step of the way and loved the end result. Highly recommend 🎉

Before you book
Styling & makeup questions, answered
How much is a blow dry in Perth?
A blow dry and style is $80–$112 depending on the level of stylist you book, and includes the wash, the blow-dry and the finished style. Our Signature Waves service is $77. An event upstyle is $135–$165.
What affects how long my style lasts?
Hair type, length, how oily your scalp runs, the weather and what you do overnight all change the answer, so we will not quote you a number. What we can tell you is what helps: a silk pillowcase, dry shampoo at the roots before you need it rather than after, loosely pinning or plaiting it at night, and keeping your hands out of it. A roller set is built to hold its shape longer than a standard blow dry, and an upstyle is pinned and set to get you through the whole event. Tell your stylist how long you need it to look good for and they will style it accordingly.
What time should I book for an event?
Work backwards. Hair and makeup together needs 2–2.5 hours; hair alone 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the style. Then add travel and dressing time. For 6pm photos, a 2:30pm booking is comfortable. Both salons are open until 9pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 8am on Saturdays, which covers most event timings.
Do you do bridal hair and makeup?
Yes, in salon, for the bride and the whole party. We recommend a trial well before the day so we can lock in the exact look, test how it holds on your hair, and time the morning properly. Get in touch through our bridal enquiry and we will build a schedule around your ceremony time.
Should I wash my hair before an upstyle?
Day-two hair holds pins and shape far better than freshly washed hair. Wash the day before, skip heavy conditioner through the roots, and come with your hair dry and brushed out. If you would rather we washed it, book a blow dry with your upstyle and we will build it in.
Can I bring a photo of the look I want?
Please do: bring three or four. Photos remove the guesswork faster than any description. Bring one or two of looks you actively dislike too; that is often more useful. If you are wearing a strong dress, headpiece or veil, send or bring a photo of that as well so the hair is designed around it.
Do you do makeup without hair, or hair without makeup?
Either. Makeup is $90 for eyes only and $150 for a full face with a tailored lash included. Book them separately or together. Together is faster and the looks are designed to work as one.
Do you do groups, race day and formals?
Yes: race day, formals, birthdays, engagement parties and bridal parties. For groups of four or more call us on 1300 160 198 rather than booking online so we can schedule the right stylists and get everyone finished at the same time.
Getting ready for something?
Book hair, makeup or both online at Subiaco or Fitzgerald. Weddings, bridal parties and groups of four or more. Call us on 1300 160 198 and we will build the schedule with you.
Race day, weddings, formals and everyday blow-dries from both salons. Screenshot anything you like and bring it to your appointment because photos beat descriptions every time.
Bringing depth back through the colour and finishing with custom Circles tapes for length + fullness. The result? Healthy-looking, dimensional hair that feels completely natural ✨ Created by Nat.
