In order to understand what the client has mind when requesting a style or updo, always consult with the client first.
You may find it helpful to have magazines available that show different updo options, such as bridal magazines or keep a folder of pictures clipped out from magazines or web at your station that show current styles. Having a personal portfolio of previous styles you have done to show your work is also a perfect tool to have at hand.
Once you have mastered the basic styles presented in the chapter and the foundational techniques these styles require, you will have the technical abilities to experiment and create your own unique and attractive looks. The hairstyling options will be endless!
