About this hairstyle

On your wedding day every minute counts. Your bridal hairstyle is planned with you in advance (style, veil, tiara, headwrap for the traditional ceremony) and then done at home on the morning itself. An updo, a soft down-do or a style built around your veil: everything is matched to your dress and outfits.

Book early on KOUTIVA by choosing your date, time and neighbourhood in Douala or Yaoundé. The KOUTIVA team calls to talk through your plans and confirm the exact price based on how elaborate the style is, then a vetted hairdresser from our network comes to your home on the big day while you get ready.

Styling tips

  • For the dot, a low bun leaves room for a headwrap or gele that matches the family fabric.
  • With a white gown, a soft updo and a few delicate accessories let the veil shine.
  • If you're changing outfits for the evening, choose a style that's easy to adapt.

How long it lasts

The style is designed to last through the whole ceremony and evening reception, not for weeks.

To prepare before the hairdresser arrives

  • Hair washed, detangled and dried the day before
  • Your accessories: veil, tiara, combs, hair jewellery
  • Your extensions or hairpiece if the style needs them
  • Photos of the dress and the hairstyle you want
  • A quiet space near a power outlet and a mirror

Care

  • Keep pins and a small mirror in your bridesmaid's bag
  • Try not to touch your hair during photos
  • In the evening, gently remove the veil, pins and accessories
  • Sleep in a satin scarf to protect your hair

Frequently asked questions

How long does the appointment take?

Allow roughly 2 to 4 hours, depending on how elaborate the style is and your accessories.

Do I need to provide hair or accessories?

Yes, if your chosen style needs them. KOUTIVA doesn't supply hair for this service, so please have your extensions, hairpieces and accessories (veil, tiara, combs) ready.

Can the price change?

The price shown is a starting price. The KOUTIVA team calls you to confirm the exact amount based on how elaborate the style is and your accessories, and the travel fee depends on your neighbourhood.

Can I have a trial before the wedding?

Bring it up on the confirmation call: the KOUTIVA team will work out with you how best to prepare your look in advance, depending on your needs and the hairdresser's availability.
