Upstyles We’re Loving This Event Season

1 October 2026 by Circles Lee

Event season is calling.

Weddings, races, formals, long lunches and end of year parties are all on the way, and the question we hear most in the chair is “should I wear it up?” Our answer right now is yes.

These are the upstyles we keep creating (and loving) in our Subiaco and Fitzgerald Street salons. Save this one and bring it to your appointment as inspo.

1. The textured twist

Soft twists pinned up high with a few loose waves left out around the face. It looks undone in the best way and photographs beautifully from every angle.

  • twisted sections layered into a soft, full shape
  • face-framing waves for a romantic finish
  • perfect for weddings and garden parties

2. The sleek high bun

Polished, glossy and snatched. A smooth high bun is the one for when you want clean lines and a bit of drama. Add a statement clip or gold hoops and you are done.

  • brushed back smooth with lots of shine
  • sits high for a lifted, elegant shape
  • great with strappy, open back or high neck outfits

3. The messy top knot

Relaxed, a little bit messy and full of texture. Loose pieces fall around the face and neck so it feels effortless, but it is pinned to last all night.

  • knotted and piled up on top of the head
  • soft pieces pulled out at the front and nape
  • ideal for long events and dancing

4. The knotted bun

Slick at the front and textured at the back. Layered knots create dimension that really shows off lived-in blonde and bronde colour.

  • sleek, brushed back front
  • layered knots for depth and movement
  • a modern take on the classic chignon

How to get the most out of your upstyle

  • come in with dry hair, ideally washed the day before so it has some grip
  • bring a photo of your outfit and any accessories you plan to wear
  • save a few inspo pics (like these) so we can match the vibe
  • book early in event season, weekend spots go fast

The bottom line

Whether you love it sleek, soft or a little bit messy, there is an upstyle for every event on your calendar. Your best hair yet is just an appointment away.
