Beautiful Hair and Makeup

Their team was amazing and were able to implement our wishes to a T. They even redid my hair trial when I wanted to experiment with a different curl size, and were flexible with what services we wanted. We got so many compliments on the day of, and everything lasted the whole night. Highly recommend!

The Best Wedding Hair

Amanda and her team did my hair when I was a bridesmaid in Winston-Salem, and I KNEW they had to be the ones who did my hair on my wedding day. Amanda's whole team was so fun and helpful throughout the process. They made the trial process fun and easy, which helped me know for certain how I wanted it to look on the day. They were able to take my many inspiration photos and turn them into reality. They even did a hair change after the ceremony, and they gave me the funnest party pony and made sure my makeup was perfect for the rest of the evening. They brought a calm, fun, and supportive vibe during the get ready portion of the day and throughout the entire day! I'm so grateful they were a part of our day.

Flawless Bridal Beauty – Highly Recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Updo's Studio for my wedding on November 9, 2024, and I can't say enough great things about them! They provided services for six full hair and makeup looks, one flower girl hairstyle, and my bridal hair and makeup.

From the very start, their communication was excellent, and the trial was a wonderful experience. On the wedding day, I decided to change my look from the trial, and they absolutely nailed it—it was even better than I had imagined!

The entire team brought such a fun and positive vibe to the day, keeping everything light and stress-free. They have a fantastic "assembly line" setup that ensures everyone gets glammed up efficiently without sacrificing quality. Every team member is incredibly skilled and worked beautifully together.

Amanda was my primary point of contact, and she was fantastic—responsive, professional, and a joy to work with.

I’m beyond satisfied with Updo's Studio and wholeheartedly recommend them to any bride or bridal party. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my special day!

Great hair and makeup experience!

The Updo's team was absolutely incredible! They worked with our large bridal party and several family members to get eleven people's hair and makeup perfect, and everyone looked great. The team was professional, organized, and friendly, creating a calm and fun atmosphere on the wedding morning. The makeup and hairstyles lasted through the day and night, and they even offered to come back and do touch ups later in the day. They managed a tight schedule seamlessly, ensuring everyone was ready on time. We had to move our wedding from Asheville to Winston-Salem after Hurricane Helene, and they were so helpful and made it as easy as possible for us. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable!

The best!

Updo's Studio was absolutely fabulous to work with for my wedding! Amanda is responsive, organized, professional, friendly, and accommodating. Her team is friendly, talented, and executed everyone's hair and makeup visions perfectly. We all felt gorgeous on my wedding day. Even though I had a different makeup artist at my trial compared to my wedding day, my makeup still looked the same and beautiful because they took detailed notes. My bridal hair and makeup were absolutely perfect, and I cannot believe how well both held up all night! My hair and makeup still looked flawless at the end of the night, and so did my bridesmaids and mom's HMU. Updo's Studio was set up and ready to go on time, and they also finished everyone with time to spare. They made sure to do final touch-ups before leaving and Amanda double checked every detail. Updo's is fabulous to work with and I highly recommend them!

The Best Hair and Makeup Team For My Wedding

So glad Upo's Studio did both the makeup and hair for my wedding. Having a large bridal, I was a bit worried if we would have enough time to get everyone ready in makeup and hair, but boy, did they deliver. All my bridesmaids, including my mother, looked amazing and were super happy with the service. I loved how my hair and makeup turned out! The team was so professional and nice throughout the whole process.

Book Updo's Now!

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!
