Best Salons And Stylists For Updos In Detroit

An updo hairstyle is usually worn for more formal events, such as a wedding, prom and any other kind of special occasion when you want to look especially beautiful. But that doesn't have to mean you can't get one "just because." Your updo can be wispy, straight, textured or pulled back into a French "chignon" that looks like an intricate knot at the nape of the neck. Wear it loose with curls or pull it tight for a more striking look. Here are five of the best salons in the Detroit Metro area that you can count on to give you a gorgeous updo you'll never forget.
