I used Beyond the Updo for mine and my bridal parties wedding hair and makeup, and the entire experience was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. The team was outstanding — ev...
eryone was so talented, professional, and made the whole getting-ready process feel fun, relaxing, and stress-free.
They did an excellent job with both hair and makeup, and everyone looked and felt beautiful. The team also timed everything perfectly throughout the day, which helped everything run smoothly and kept us on schedule without ever feeling rushed.
The girls were so fun to have around while getting ready and truly added to the excitement and happiness of the morning. Ciarrah was especially wonderful to work with — she was organized, responsive, and communicated so well throughout the entire planning process, and she went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with my services.
I would highly recommend Beyond the Updo to any bride looking for a talented, professional, and enjoyable beauty team for their wedding day!
LOVED working with BTU! Jordan was so amazing and talented! She and her team did 13 hair services in record time! I had bridesmaids with every hair type in the book, thin/thick, sh...
ort/long, curly/straight, yet Jordan and her team made myself and all my girls and moms feel beautiful on such a special day. Beyond Jordan, the entire BTU team were great to work with! I had to change the amount of hair services I needed serval times and Ciarrah completely understood and worked with me every step of the way. Can’t recommend them enough!
1000/10. You must book them. We had Ciarrah, Jordan C, April and Erica for our hair and makeup team for my wedding. I was the bride and had Ciarrah for hair and Jordan C for makeup...
. I have been in so many weddings, and often, half the bridal party didn't love their hair or makeup. This was the first wedding I was in (AND as the bride) where everyone was blown away by how they looked. Everyone felt so good about their hair and makeup and felt like elevated versions of themselves. My friends who typically take off half their makeup after getting serviced were SO happy with their hair and makeup for once. It was a true tell that this team is TOP TIER. As the bride, I did lots of research into HMU teams. I found BTU on Wedding Wire and it was a seamless and easy process from beginning to end. I knew at my trial that they were going to be such an added plus to my wedding day. They all made us feel comfortable, happy and relaxed. They were EXCEPTIONAL at their jobs and I will never stop recommending them to anyone who asks.
Ciarrah / Beyond the Updo is a 10/10 find for a wedding hair stylist. From my trial to my wedding day, she was the easiest to work with and so so sweet. She was open to my feedback...
after my trial and absolutely CRUSHED it on my wedding day. She arrived at our BnB to get ready on time, had a great attitude, and was so wonderful. And truly, she is SOOO talented and incredible at what she does. I felt like a serious beauty queen. I could not recommend Ciarrah enough!!!
The BeyondTheUpdo team did an amazing job. The Artists and Stylists were prompt and so receptive to feedback from all of the women (11 hair and 9 makeup!), and especially comfortin...
g to the girls who don’t often do a full face of makeup. We even had time in the schedule to add in a bridesmaid who decided to have her makeup done versus doing it herself. You can’t go wrong with this team! Each girl felt and look beautiful - makeup and hair stayed perfectly throughout the rainy day. I highly recommend BeyondTheUpdo!
INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. I highly recommend booking with BTU for your wedding day. Ciarrah and Amanda helped make our morning fun, relaxed, and low stress. They were professional, re...
spectful, and did high quality work for both me and my bridal party. Everyone’s hair and makeup still looked fresh after 10+ hours. We got so many compliments and our looks and are so happy we went with this team!
I do not have words for how amazing Ciarrah and Megan were from start to finish! They are simply magic!
Ciarrah is the most incredibly organized and proactive business owner. Ou...
tside of my initial inquiry I never had to reach out to her again, she always contacted me about scheduling and provided me with any and all helpful information well in advance.
Both Ciarrah and Megan are amazingly talented at their crafts and they really listened to everyone’s diverse request. There was not a type of style that they could not do, they offered helpful advice when indecisiveness took over without pushing a particular look. They truly made me and all my girls feel like the most beautiful versions of ourselves!!
The one piece of advice I would give as a recent bride would be to choose to work with people that make your day better. While the day will inevitably be amazing it will also be undoubtedly stressful at times. Having the opportunity to spend that critical time prior to the big day with people who carry the best positive yet calming and comfortable energy, like Ciarrah and Megan do, was a game changer for me. Their kind, funny and genuine spirits set the tone for what was the best day of my life!
Picking a beauty team can be overwhelming but I cannot recommend them enough! You will not be disappointed hiring this team!!
Ciarrah and her team were wonderful for both the process and day of the wedding! Her team was highly skilled and assisted everyone with looking like their best selves for our day. ...
I could not have asked for better care and expertise.
