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.
