The Updo Guru

nterprets your vision exceptionally. We had a crew of 13 getting their hair done and the calming energy but speed and precision that Elizabeth and her team brought were so important. Everything was perfectly on time, perfectly executed and importantly - stayed in place the whole night. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

the application to my face. I felt like myself - just a much more glam version. Everyone was complimenting me on how beautiful the hair and makeup looked at the wedding. I really felt so amazing and confident. And despite a rainy wedding day, my makeup lasted from 9:30 am to 2:30 am, all through the ceremony, reception and after party. My lashes stayed put, and no creasing or caking. Liz was so down to earth, quick to respond, and her pricing is very fair too. I would definitely recommend her!

ally lasted all day! We took some night photos with the photographer and I was nervous that I wouldn't look pulled together, but my hair and make up looked like it could have been earlier in the night! I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a talented Hair and Makeup Artist!

fter I emailed her, she messaged me promptly and we set up a date for a trial. I met at Elizabeth's house for my trial. She took the time needed to discuss exactly what I wanted for my hair. For makeup, I didn't have any idea of what I wanted so she offered advice on what would look good. Elizabeth really took her time doing my hair and applying my make-up and it looked perfect! I left my trial knowing I would book with her! A few weeks prior to the big day, Elizabeth made a schedule for myself and 9 other women for hair and makeup. She made sure to confirm all the details with me a few days prior as well. On the big day, she was early and got right to work. She brought an assistant, Lexi, was also very friendly and sweet. Elizabeth and Lexi didn't take any breaks, and went from one girl to the next. Some of my girls had an idea of what they wanted, others gave them freedom; regardless, they did an amazing job on all of my girls! Everyone looked gorgeous and got what they wanted (and more). Our hair and makeup lasted the entire night - through sweat and lots of tears! In terms of my hair and make-up, it was even better than my trial. I didn't have any changes to make from the trial, other than my hair being a bit smoother (no flyaways or loose parts). Somehow though, it came out even more beautiful than the trial! My makeup too was soft and romantic, just like I wanted. I felt like a princess. Elizabeth made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. I am sure if you book with her, you will too.

tting up a trial was incredibly easy and finalizing last minute details was quick and painless. I had a huge bridal party with around 13 attendants that needed hair/makeup services and this was no problem for Elizabeth or her team. They came in, set right up and jumped in. We had three little ones running around and Elizabeth didn't miss a beat. One of the best things about her and her team was the fact that they asked each person for feedback while they were working and consistently made any adjustments necessary so that each bridal attendant was happy with their look. My hair and makeup were just stunning and stayed on all night. I highly recommend hiring Elizabeth for your wedding, you will NOT be disappointed. She goes above and beyond to make your day amazing. Thank you Elizabeth for being so amazing!

on when doing your makeup. She gives each client the look that they will feel most comfortable and beautiful wearing all day long! The airbrush makeup that they use is so light, looks flawless in pictures, and lasted all day and into the night! Liz is very flexible with traveling and creating a “hair and makeup schedule” for the wedding day! Liz and her assistant made my wedding day bridal prep fun and enjoyable! We were able to joke and laugh and they kept my nervous-self feeling a sense of comfort the whole time! There was plenty of time for each person (bride, 5 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and flower girl) to get their hair and makeup completed and be ready in time for the photographer to start pictures at the scheduled time. They made the bridal prep a very “easy-going and stress-free” experience! One thing that I truly love about the Updo Guru is that it is a one-stop shop! Liz and her assistant are both spectacular with hair and makeup, so it is one less vendor to have to find during the crazy wedding-planning process. There were a variety of different hair styles that they perfected for each person’s desired-look (both up-do’s, and down with curls as well)- and each one turned out beautiful. Every person was extremely satisfied with how they looked and felt that day! I highly recommend Liz!

still Wanted to do same thing we did as a trial (which was beautiful ) with my hair and Liz totally understood. Liz went above and beyond for me and blew me away by this beautiful cascade updo that she had imagine as a diff look then what I profanely wanted for me and she knocked it out of the park . I was in Love it was perfect everything I could imagine and more .I highly Recommend Liz it was such a pleasure to work with her ! Check out her instagram !

sive to all my make up questions and made me feel very relaxed and excited about the entire process. About 2 months out from my wedding, the hair stylist I had booked had cancelled on me. I emailed Elizabeth right away hoping she knew someone that could fill in on makeup, and if she could work on hair instead. Within minutes, Elizabeth responded and assured me that she could take care of both services and not to worry at all! She relieved all of my worries within minutes! My wedding day Hair and makeup (as well as my trial) were both flawless and amazing. For my hair, I picked a very non-traditional hair style that Elizabeth executed better than I could have ever imagined. Everyone raved about my hair. I even had a custom wedding dress made, and I had more compliments on my amazing hair than on my dress!! My bridal party loved their hair and makeup, and my mother said that it was her favorite part of her entire look that evening! On top of having the best hair and makeup experience I have ever had, Elizabeth and her team were AHEAD of schedule and finished earlier than we had anticipated. She is an extremely talented and amazing individual. I would highly recommend her for your wedding day!! Thank you for everything Elizabeth!

g and sweating like crazy!!! Elizabeth makes you feel comfortable and beautiful and takes her time with each person to make sure you look and feel your best!!!! Thank you Liz!!!!!

meline and making us feel comfortable at our make-up trial. We knew we were in good hands from day 1! We highly recommend Elizabeth for any of your hair and make-up needs! She is top-notch!

mmend her services!

s perfect the entire day! I don't usually wear makeup and she knew exactly what to do to make me feel comfortable and beautiful. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for hair and makeup! Very professional, excellent service.

e. By the time she was done with my hair and make up I walked out for photos feeling confident and beautiful. She achieved the exact look I was going for and I couldn't be more greatful. My day wouldn't have been complete with her services 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

ss and beautiful that no one even knew I was sick! I couldn’t believe how perfect my hair and makeup came out and that it lasted the whole night! I cannot wait to see how beautiful all our photos came out thanks to the most amazing glam squad!

r was getting married two years ago and I knew I had to have her be apart of my look for my special day. My hair for my wedding was EXACTLY what I was hoping for and looked even BETTER than the picture I used as inspiration. She was in charge of doing my entire wedding party and they all looked fabulous. All of my girls (and myself) agreed she will be used for future events!! Thanks, Liz! xoxo

better. Myself, all of my bridesmaids, mom and grandma were blown away with how great their hair and makeup looked. She really exceeded by expectations. Everyone looked beautiful and best of all still natural. My whole wedding party also had so much fun with Elizabeth's whole crew. They had fun, outgoing personalities that made the whole wedding morning experience memorable. The wedding was over a month ago and everyone is still talking about how awesome The Updo Guru was.

She did my make up early in the afternoon and throughout the remaining hours before the big moment i decided i wanted to add a little more she was absolutely wonderful and i remember her saying to me "Only you can tell me what you want i cant come to that decision for you" which I absolutely agreed with her on. She never pushed me to add more make up and let me decide if i wanted to do more. Which i was incredibly thankful for. The end product was amazing and i felt beautiful. My bridesmaids and my mom also looked STUNNING! two of bridesmaids are actually using her for their weddings as well. Both Elizabeth and Kristen were incredibly chilled out they made the day fun. I know all the girls enjoyed talking with Elizabeth and Kristen as they got us ready. I am so incredibly thankful for everything they did. I felt so beautiful that day! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

arrived impressed and said he never saw a bridal party or bride be on time with hair and makeup! We ended just on time to have so much time for pictures and not feel rushed! Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous that even my bridesmaids were super impressed with getting the look they want. The team is very personable, sweet, talented, and overall 10/10. I highly recommend if you want your wedding to go smooth, everyone look gorgeous and overall be happy!

hank you so much for making my day even more special!!! 😍

edding and for mine, Elizabeth and one other artist (Kristen/Nicole) showed up early. As they worked they chatted with everyone like old friends and were so efficient they were done right on time. I'd been in a few weddings where we were late getting to the ceremony because of hair/make up so it made choosing Elizabeth easier because I knew she was great at staying on time. She uses high end products, her brushes are clean, she uses airbrush foundation, and she has a great variety of shadows/eyelashes. She really listens when you say what you'd like and she'd rather take the time to make sure everyone likes how they look and isn't offended if you ask for something to be changed/adjusted. Lastly, the price is very affordable. I'd done some research and determined that The Updo Guru was the highest quality for a very affordable price. I highly recommend The Updo Guru and want to say thank you for making me feel confident and stress free on my wedding day. You are the best! I can't wait to share pictures once I get them back from the photographer.

ridesmaids looked amazing!! I would HIGHLY recommend her for your event!

looked gorgeous and are still raving about their hair and makeup done by Elizabeth and her wonderful assistant. Elizabeth was so easy to get in touch with, and was even texting me the day before my wedding while I was trying to figure out what hair extensions to buy. I cannot wait to get all our proofs back, knowing that at least my hair and makeup was on point 🙂. Thank you again, Elizabeth. I would trust you with my hair and makeup any day, as would my girls!!

bridesmaids loved their looks and as the Bride I felt more confident in my hair and makeup than I ever thought I could. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth!!

t the eyelashes on. I told Elizabeth I wanted a natural look and she delivered. The airbrush foundation was wonderful and lasted all day and night. For my hair, I showed her a bunch of pictures that I liked and she used a combination of all of them and gave me the best hairstyle. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup and hair as well. I am extremely happy that I used Elizabeth for my wedding and I would use her again if I had another event. Elizabeth is professional, friendly, and great to work with.
