Prom season is in full swing, and in Conway, that means a flurry of dress fittings, nail appointments — and most urgently, finding someone who can deliver the perfect updo.

This week, one local student sparked a wave of stylist recommendations after posting on Facebook:

“Looking to get an updo done tomorrow for prom — any stylist recommendations that aren’t booked solid?”

The responses came flooding in, with teens, moms, and even professional stylists chiming in to share availability and photos of past work.

Here are the names that came up again and again in the conversation — local favorites known for braids, buns, curls, and camera-ready updos.

🎓 Tips for Booking Last-Minute Prom Hair

💡 Here’s what locals recommend if you’re booking within days of the big event:

  • Call or message directly on Facebook – Some salons respond faster to DMs than phones during busy seasons.
  • Ask about cancellations – Many teens have backup appointments and cancel last-minute. Get on a waitlist!
  • Consider beauty schools like Arthur’s Beauty College in Conway — students offer discounted services under instructor supervision.

📸 Don’t Forget Photos!

If you’re proud of your look — share it! Many stylists encourage clients to post and tag them on Instagram or Facebook. It helps them get business and gives future prom-goers real-life inspo.

Whether you’re rocking a crown braid or a sleek bun, Conway’s stylists are ready to help you shine under those prom lights.
