Absolutely Gorgeous Hair + Amazing Service!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about the BeyondTheUpdo Team and the incredible job they did on my wedding day!!

From the moment Ciarrah arrived, she brought such a fun, positive energy that made the whole getting-ready experience feel joyful and relaxed. She truly went above and beyond, not just as a stylist, but as someone who genuinely cared about making the day feel special for me!

She listened so carefully to my hair vision and brought it to life flawlessly — I felt beautiful, confident, and completely myself. Her level of service is exceptional! It’s so much more than just hair with her — she’s professional, warm, uplifting, and incredibly talented. My entire bridal party's hair looked amazing all day, and I felt completely taken care of. I’m so grateful to have had her as part of my big day. HIGHLY recommend!!!!

Absolutely love everything about the BTU team!!

I can't say enough incredible things about Ciarrah and Jordan and the entire BTU team! I got married last month and reached out to BTU in the fall to book them for my wedding. Ciarrah replied to my inquiry almost immediately and throughout the entire process she was incredibly responsive and helpful. Jordan was my hair artist for the wedding and also did my bridesmaids, MOB, and MOG (9 services total). Although Jordan had several people to work through, she performed each service flawlessly and everyone was so happy with the results! Each service was exactly like the picture/ inspiration we gave to Jordan. She brought such a calming presence to the morning and we all loved chatting with her! I also had an amazing trial with Jordan, I showed her only a couple of pictures and described what I liked/ wanted to change from the inspo. She was able to execute perfectly and my hair turned out even better than I could have imagined. I can't recommend the BTU team enough and absolutely loved working with them! They made all of my wedding hair dreams come true and I am so so grateful!!

Perfect crew for a Perfect day

Jordan and Erica were amazing! I felt super comfortable and confident with what we ended up with for both hair and makeup!! I felt so dolled up & pretty, but still myself, yay. I was able to chat honestly and openly with both Jordan and Erica during the process and am thrilled with their services. 10/10!
