The girls were amazing for my daughter's trial makeup and hair updo for her upcoming wedding. She looked absolutely beautiful! I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful experience. It takes a lot of stress away during a hectic time. Their years of experience shined through! Thank you again!

Updo’s did a phenomenal job! All my bridesmaids looked fantastic and my hair looked amazing! Like seriously, I don’t think my hair could have looked any better, I was blown away. My hair also looked awesome even at the end of the night too which was very impressive. Also, the fact that they did all of this between 10-1pm is amazing. It was a great experience and I am already recommending Updo’s to all of my engaged friends!

Updo was so professional, accountable, amazing at communication and their styling was perfect! They did hair and makeup for a recent photography client of mine, and she (and I), couldn't be happier! Would highly recommend them!

Absolutely loved every minute of my hair and makeup trial and the day of my wedding because these amazing women helped me feel so beautiful! Amanda was very accommodating and was able to set up my hair and makeup trial on the same day as my bridal portraits. They were so helpful in giving tips on what style of makeup would work best with my complexion. We did make a few changes from the trial after seeing how the makeup came out in my bridal portraits, but it was only slight, nit-picky changes I had. They were able to adjust those things on my wedding day and my makeup looked just as beautiful at the end of the night as it did when they first did it. Same thing with my hair, we made a few style changes from the hairstyle at the trial, which was a tighter braid, and switched it up to a loose curly braid. My hair held up all night and looked just as great by the end. I couldn't recommend these women enough and their experience definitely shows in their work! All of my bridesmaids and mom/MIL felt beautiful and looked fantastic. Even my mom and MIL, who never get their hair and makeup done, loved the way they looked and both received many compliments from guests and family. My MIL was very happy with her hair, as she has shoulder-length hair and they were able to put hers into an updo! They also had us all ready ahead of time for pictures! I couldn't say enough great things about these women! Highly recommend for any of your hair and makeup needs :)

I can't thank Updo's enough! They came to my rescue for my wedding in June when my HMUA was unable to come last minute! Not only did they bring a team to make sure me and my girls were ready the day of, but they made themselves available the day before my wedding to do a hair and makeup trial. Everything they touched ended up being a work of art and I am forever grateful!

Updo’s Studio was a dream team to work with. They were a preferred vendor at my venue. The hair and makeup trial was a giant ease of stress. And even though I changed my makeup vision after the trial, Updo’s Studio was very receptive to the changes that I wanted to make. I felt like a princess on my wedding day. My hair didn’t fall all night despite the NC humidity and my makeup lasted through all of the sweat from dancing. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law also looked and felt fantastic. Hire this team. you will not be disappointed.

I reached out to Updo’s studio to handle hair and makeup for my wedding because they were recommended to me by two different friends who had used them for their weddings. Their reputation was good, as it seemed like they handled a ton of weddings in the triad area and their reviews were great. Their smallest package was for a group of 6, which made me almost not book with them since I only had 2 bridesmaids but it ended up working out since I included the mothers. Onto the actual hair and makeup. I’m not professionally trained but I have a lot of experience trying different hair styles and makeup on myself so I have gotten to a point where I know what I like. I went into my trial with a few pictures and a very clear idea of what I wanted. Basically I asked for simple in both areas- soft, lived in looking updo and a fresh faced makeup look that was as skin like as possible. I came out with a super intricate, teased updo that in my opinion didn’t look anything like my picture, and my makeup was very heavy glam with contouring and powdering and did not match my coloring. I’m not saying they did not do a good job, it was just so far from what I asked for. I chalked this up to me not speaking up enough, so I paid for a second trial and voiced my dislikes from the first. They were both very understanding. I came in with one hair picture and spoke a lot about how I do my own makeup and what products work and don’t work for my skin. The makeup from the second trial was ten times better. The hair was closer to the general vibe of what I was wanting so we went with it. The day of my wedding we had 2 hair stylists and 2 makeup artists. My hair and makeup were done by the same ladies that did my second trial and came out very similar to my trial so I was happy with it. There were issues with the other makeup artist’s lash application, and the ones who had theirs done by her all needed her to fix them, but otherwise I think everyone was happy what what they received. Overall I think I would recommend Updo’s Studio if you are not super particular about what you want because while they did a good job, I think there may be some communication issues.

I want to start by saying my hair and makeup trial was an absolute blast! I met the owner and few of the girls that work there, and I loved the look. They even had a ton of tips and suggestions for everything I requested (just because something looks good online, it might not work with your complexion, face shape, hair texture, etc). They were very informative and helpful. It only took about an hour and it was perfect! I told them I wanted it pretty much the exact same way for my wedding day. The only thing I wanted different was less volume in the back of my hair and less make up on my cheeks because my face broke out almost immediately at the trial. Come wedding day, I expected the same thing as the trial: Bride's hair and make up being done simultaneously and done in the same amount of time. However, they ended up doing it separately so it took twice as long which ended up messing up our photo timeline. I've never been a bride, in a wedding, or even gotten hair and makeup done prior to my trial, so I had no idea the timing would be any different than at the trial unless I was told, which I was not. I feel like a wedding makeup company should know the tight schedules of weddings and be able to make suggestions and help move the timeline along-especially for whether the bride goes first, last, or in the middle. In the end, I didn't love the look. When I requested more gold around my eyes they did it without mentioning that it wouldn't work well with my complexion; I ended up wiping it off at the reception. When I said I wanted less volume, they gave it less character as well. My hair was pinned back very loosely so when I stepped outside into Carolina lakeside humidity, my hair had all the volume I said I didn't want. Ultimately, it felt like they were only there to get paid. Much less effort, information, and observation than at the trial. At trial they noticed things about my skin, teeth, hair, etc and made suggestions or altered the plan accordingly, but not on wedding day. I was left with the faintest tan lines which ended up being drastic tan lines in photos...something I feel they would have noticed/mentioned at the trial and is easily fixed with makeup (especially by professional makeup artists) but didn't warn me on wedding day. Overall, I wish my trial day hair/makeup and wedding day hair/makeup were swapped. My only suggestion is for brides to do their research and make sure you communicate and ask lots of questions during your search for hair and makeup.

Amanda and her team did such an amazing job on hair and makeup for my wedding! They ensured all of the bridesmaids, my mother, and especially myself loved how we looked and were willing to tweak something if we didn't. They were flexible, attentive, and timely the day of. Working with Amanda leading up to the event was a breeze. She was so responsive and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Updo's!

Amanda and the team at Updo’s were amazing! They were professional and kind and made me feel stunning on wedding day. I was unsure about my final look after the trial and worried that it wouldn’t look natural, but they reassured me that it would look great. They were very flexible with me and once I decided on my final look, I looked forward to visiting them morning-of. On wedding day, I felt like a more polished version of myself and I absolutely adored their work, especially my hair (I opted for a bridal ponytail). I got so many compliments on it throughout the day! Plus, they finished my hair and makeup ahead of schedule so I was able to spend extra time just relaxing with my girls. If I could do it over again, I’d hire them in a heartbeat!

I am SO glad I chose Updos studio to do my bridal make up as well as my bridesmaids make up. They were prompt and professional and brought so much fun energy to the getting ready process they were apart of. My make up was exactly what I envisioned but better!! It lasted all night through tears and lots of smiling! They are absolutely amazing at what they do.

The team was great. I am not one to put on makeup often so I wasn't sure what to expect. They really made me feel comfortable and excited for the experience. I loved my overall look and they were wonderful at making sure it was exactly what I wanted. As far as the day of the wedding they arrived to the venue early and I actually had a couple additional people to get done, that they had no problem accommodating and we still had plenty of time to get before wedding photos and be on time to walk done the aisle too. I would highly recommend.

Amanda and her team are INCREDIBLE! They work true magic  They made me, and my bridal party, feel like queens on the day of. They both helped me figure out my vision for hair & makeup and then brought that vision to life. I was blown away by my trial and didn’t think they could top it, and then they did on the day of. My bridal party (9), my Mom and my mother-in-law all looked absolutely stunning and radiant, and our hair and makeup held up perfectly throughout a fairly hot and humid North Carolina spring day where we were outside for the entire ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! We also had an after-party that went until 2am and my hair and makeup still looked good throughout that whole event! Our group wanted different styles of makeup, from natural to glam to smokey eyes and everything else, and they did a phenomenal job with each style and taking such a personalized individual approach to enhancing each person’s natural beauty! I was also super impressed with how quick their team was – we never felt rushed and we each felt well taken care-of, but they kept us on time and I really appreciated that. Amanda was wonderful to work with – she is so kind, responsive and was flexible with me throughout planning the wedding during covid with multiple date and venue changes. I hope all brides get the chance to work with a team as wonderful as Amanda and UpDo’s.

Updo's made getting ready with 13 ladies (me, 8 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, 2 grandmothers) for my wedding such a breeze! They were so organized, flexible, attentive to details, and had great communication. So many guests commented by the end of the night how my hair and make up looked as it did when I first got it done in the morning! Updo's is a great team, and you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend!

Amanda and her team are the absolute best! I had 7 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, MOB and MOG. They were setup and ready to go before we even arrived at the venue and had us all ready within a couple of hours. Everyone on the team is so talented and sweet. My entire bridal party looked and felt beautiful thanks to all of the wonderful ladies that were there that day. I can't say enough good things about Updo's.. they were by far one of the best decisions I could have made for my wedding!

I am so happy I chose Updo Studio for hair & makeup for my wedding! Amanda (the owner) is very friendly and helpful and does a great job helping to coordinate scheduling for weddings and trials. I had a hair and make-up trial for my bridal shoot and then hair and make-up on my wedding day. Every artist I met was so talented and friendly! They did a fantastic job. Kristen did my make-up at my trial and I absolutely LOVED it. She did an amazing job giving me options, showing me how everything was looking and adjusting as needed until we got the look I wanted. I got lucky that she was available for my wedding day too, and again, she did a phenomenal job. I loved my make-up. I was of course very particular since it was my wedding day and she fixed every tiny detail exactly how I wanted it. I was so happy with how it turned out! Thank you, Kristen! I was equally impressed with my hair. I did a trial with Tamera and had photos to show and Tamera did an amazing job styling my hair. I loved it when I was done, but we both agreed a couple of tweaks could be made to get the final look. On my wedding day, Tamera knew exactly what to do to get the look I was going for, even though I couldn’t necessarily articulate it. My hair looked INCREDIBLE. I was seriously blown away by how good it looked. I also had a vase of flowers for my hair and Tamera did such a good job styling them in my hair, even though she didn’t have a photo to go off of. Besides my own hair and make-up looking good, my bridesmaids and my mom and MIL also got hair and/or make-up done, and everyone looked so good! Everyone was happy with how they looked and I thought everyone looked absolutely gorgeous. Updo did such an amazing job. Seriously, if I had another event I needed hair and make-up done for, I would hire Updo Studio (and specifically Kristen and Tamera) again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much for make me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

Everyone from the Updo's team was fantastic! I used them for my wedding for hair and makeup for myself, my 4 bridesmaids, and my mom. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful even on a tight schedule! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fast, efficient, and talented group of hair stylists and makeup artists.

Updos was FABULOUS. They arrived on time with a case full of makeups and hair accessories. I was a little late finding a hair/makeup person but updos has enough staff it wasn’t an issue! Everyone’s makeup looked great and they left lip color touch ups for everyone for after our lunch. Hair was perfect and looked just like our sample pictures. Almost as important as us looking good, the stylists were fun! They laughed along with us and kept everyone happy and confident! Would 100% recommend

100% the best hair ever! we had quite a few but they kept us on track and everyone looked so good. I had 7 bridesmaids my mom and my sons girlfriend and they did everyone different but still kinda the same so everyone looked amazing!!! I wished I could show you a before and after lol you'd see this group of stylists are the best around. hire them!!! lol cause they make you your best self!!!

Such a patient, wonderful team! The owner was always so responsive and I could not appreciate that enough. And then on the wedding day, the team came in and did a flawless job! They did touch ups at the end on everyone, listened to everyone’s wants and needs, and executed flawlessly!! They did a perfect job on my apprehensive mom, opinionated girlfriends and sisters, and made it look like my bad skin didn’t have a flaw on it! I would absolutely recommend them for anyone in the hair or makeup market in the central or western part of NC! (Or anywhere else, for that matter!)

When picking a hair and makeup stylist I discovered Up Dos online. I reached out to them as well as several other companies, but what really drew me to Up Dos was how responsive they were. Amanda (the owner) was so prompt in her emails to me. She answered all my questions and was so easy to correspond with. At my trial, they asked me my vision. I showed them my picture examples and they went to work. In just under an hour, they had literally "transformed" me. I kept looking in the mirror because I was shocked at how good I looked. On the wedding day, my hair stylist and makeup stylist showed up right on time. They immediately got to work on me and my 4 bridesmaids. Each of us have different views on how much makeup we like and opinions about our hair and they handled each of us individually and made us all feel absolutely beautiful. I just got some of my photographs back from my wedding and they are breathtaking and I truly believe that's because of how good we all felt with our hair and makeup done. Thank you to Amanda and her staff for doing such an incredible job. I am so thankful for you all and how beautiful you made me and my bridesmaids feel on my wedding day!

Amazing group of women prettying us up for a beautiful wedding day. Everyone’s hair stayed all night! Amazing work ladies!
