Jill at Up Your Do created the most gorgeous hairstyle for my winter wedding! I had a half up/half down with curls, and it was exactly what I envisioned. What's even more impress...
ive is that it held up flawlessly, even while we were taking pictures in the snow for a few hours. One of my bridesmaids originally had a half up/half down hairstyle done, but she later asked Jill if it was possible to put it all up. Jill was so accommodating and did a fantastic job not only on her hair, but all of my bridal party's hairstyles. I highly recommend Jill to anyone!

Everyone's hair looked beautiful and stayed put (even though it rained for part of the day) Highly recommend!! Thank you soo much!

ed around with multiple styles and ended up adding extensions that I rented to create more volume for my all-down hairstyle. My wedding day was a breezy, warm August day but my hair lasted throughout photos and dancing while still keeping it soft! She listened to my thoughts/changes and worked with me until i felt 100% confident and happy with my look. Bonnie tackled 7 looks that day - mix of updos and down looks, and everyone was so happy with how it turned out! Jill was also incredibly responsive and easy to work with during the planning process. I would recommend Up Your Do and their salon partners Dylan Michael Cosmetics to any brides looking! Thanks Bonnie and Jill!

Jill was AMAZING! Everyone felt so gorgeous and our hair lasted all night through lots of sweating, hugging, dancing, and all the rest. She brought such a calm, upbeat, unflappable...
energy to the day, even when there was some chaos and last minute requests around us. Jill really listened to what each girl wanted and didn't try to make them something they're not. She was one of my absolute best hires of the wedding, and I'm recommending her to every friend of mine getting married! I'd been recommended to her by a friend, and I was skeptical why her prices were so much more affordable than some other places - price does NOT equal quality! Jill is THE BEST and just a joy to work with. Book book book!

professional and understanding. She worked with me on my trial day until I was perfectly happy with the results. When it came to day of she was punctual and so sweet. After she left, we realized we didn’t know how to put my veil in and she happily came back to show us. My girls loved her and her work and I’m positive that anyone from “Up your Do” would give you a similar experience. The ONLY thing that was a s struggle was that communication took a while in the beginning but even then I give 5 stars.

fered her professional advice, and created a style that was even better than I could have imagined. My hair held up perfectly through the entire day — from photos, to dancing, to every hug in between.
Beyond her talent, Jill has such a warm and calming presence. She kept the morning lighthearted, fun, and on schedule, which set the perfect tone for the day. My bridal party and I felt absolutely beautiful, and we all loved our styles.
I can’t recommend Jill enough — she’s incredibly talented, professional, and such a joy to be around. If you’re looking for someone to make you feel like the best version of yourself on your wedding day, Jill is the one!

nd brought to life my vision of soft glam curls. I have curly, frizz prone hair so Dani had me monitor my trial hair all day. It was a July humid day and my hair began to frizz, which obviously made me nervous. But Dani was reassuring and confident - she now knew what to do and boy did she know! My hair looked AMAZING on wedding day and held all day and all night perfectly - it never moved despite me sweating in humidity and dancing my butt off. It has never looked better and never will. Dani made all my family and friends look and feel their best on wedding day. She was also perfectly on time. She is professional, calm, fun, funny, kind - she felt like just another one of the girls in the bridal suite. Dani, we love you, thank you!!!

We had specific requests and Jill listened carefully to our vision. Not only did our hair match our inspiration pictures perfectly, but they also suggested subtle enhancements that elevated the overall look without straying from what we wanted.

I can't recommend Jill enough for anyone planning a wedding. She turned our hair dreams into reality, making our special day even more memorable. Five stars all the way—worth every penny! If you're looking for precision and perfection, this is the place to go. 😊
