o do absolutely no thinking on the morning of my wedding, which was amazing. We had done a trial, so I knew what to expect going in, and we talked a little about the minor changes that I wanted to make after the trial. They were both full of joy, had no stress, and brought me so much peace on the morning of the wedding. They were fun to talk to and great to work with -- all of my bridesmaids and my mom and husband's mom all said that they were amazing, fun, and light. Our initial photos of the girls in their PJs took a little longer than anticipated, and they went above and beyond by staying a bit longer to help me place my veil when it was time to get dressed. I was so happy with the service and would recommend Updos for I Dos, and moreover, Sarah and Tara to anyone I know getting married!

Jen, Amy, Ashlie & Xoshlet made our morning so easy and relaxing, while making sure we stayed on schedule. The UpDos for I Dos team was responsive and easy to work with. I cannot recommend UpDos for I Dos enough!

o answer any and all of my questions. It was great to meet my hair and makeup artists during my trial and work with them to talk through what I envisioned. My hair is fine so my hairstyle didn't exactly match the photo inspirations, but my artist did a style that was in the same realm. For my makeup, I said I wanted to look like myself but elevated, and she hit the nail on the head. On wedding day, they delivered. They worked with our tight and early timeline with a lot of women (10 total) having their hair and makeup done, and I felt beautiful on my wedding day. My only small bit of disappointment was that my hair started to fall by cocktail hour, so my bridesmaids had to spend a little bit of time re-pinning and hairspraying to get it back in place, which took a little bit of time away from enjoying the reception. But overall, I definitely recommend Updos for I Dos for your special events.

From the beginning I was very impressed by Updos for I Dos responsiveness - they are extremely professional and quick to answer any questions or concerns.
Every single team member...
I met throughout the wedding process during my trial and the day itself was so sweet and did amazing work - not a single member of my party was disappointed with the magic they were able to work.
They were great with the notes I had during the trial and I felt like a true princess on the big day.
I also want to give extra props because of the size they were able to work with - they did hair and make up for not just me (the bride) but also 11 other people! And this was with different hair and skin type as well. Yet with all that, they were STILL able to do it in a timely manner while helping everyone feel special and beautiful.
10 out of 10!

y!
Both ladies were very friendly, respected our levels of chattiness (which was high, mind you!) and very efficient. It took from ten in the morning to three in the afternoon, but they were working the ENTIRE TIME and didn't take a single break! All they had to see was a picture to recreate the look we wanted and they did a phenomenal job making us all look how we wanted. I even overheard Sara ask my introverted sister to talk to her about her interests, which was very nice to hear. 💖
Highly recommend them both and the team at Updos for I Dos too, as they were all very professional talking to them through email. We will be using them in the future for sure!

I was blown away with how they made my vision come to life and could not be happier with my final look!! We had 13 people getting hair and makeup done the morning of my wedding and the team kept right on schedule the entire time without anyone feeling rushed or stressed (and we even got to sleep in a little!). They are so easy to plan and communicate with, responding quickly and with so much helpful information.

and ability to offer the services I was looking for. They were wonderful at guiding me through the process from booking through my wedding day. I opted to do hair and makeup trails and appreciated the chance to work with my hair and makeup artists before the big day. It worked out that my trials took place on the morning of my bridal shower so I could get feedback on my look from my bridesmaids and friends. On the day of the wedding, my matron of honor, my bridesmaids, and I had fun working with the artists and jamming out to their music playlist. We all looked and felt beautiful, and the artists’ hard work was apparent in my wedding photos. As someone who rarely does their own hair and makeup, I was happy that my final look was a slightly elevated version of my natural appearance, which is exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend Updos for I Dos to other brides looking for hair and/or makeup artists!

On the wedding day, Andy (makeup) and Liseth (hair) arrived punctually and began promptly. They effortlessly translated our inspiration photos into stunning looks that exceeded our expectations. They skillfully managed 11 different styles and requests from my bridesmaids and me without any issues. Starting at 9AM, they completed all services by 3PM. The hair and makeup for everyone were executed beautifully and professionally, and each person was thrilled with the final result. I was especially impressed that the makeup and hairstyles remained flawless until our event concluded at 11PM.
I truly believe every dollar spent was worthwhile. Updos For I Dos did not disappoint in any way; it was a stress-free experience overall. I’ve enthusiastically recommended this vendor to all my friends planning weddings in the coming year, and I encourage you to reach out to them as well :)

The trial gave me the time to figure out how I wanted everything to look and ensured we were both on the same page.

They took the time to understand my personal style, listened attentively to my preferences, and worked with me to create a look that perfectly complemented my features and overall wedding theme. They were incredibly and skillfully efficient, working hard to take care of five bridesmaids, two moms, and myself without compromising the final looks and all while keeping to our wedding timeline, even with a last-minute addition. Their ability to capture my vision and enhance our natural beauty was beyond remarkable. Throughout the entire process, Mary and Dana exuded a sense of warmth and professionalism. Their calm and reassuring demeanors created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, putting me at ease during what could have been a very stressful time. Mary and Dana went above and beyond by helping my bridesmaids who were unsure of exactly what final look they wanted. Their professionalism, talent, attention to detail, and genuine care truly sets the UpDos for I Dos team apart. They transformed me into a radiant bride and made each member of my bridal party feel beautiful. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for any bride-to-be.

ry step of the way. They highly exceeded my expectations and we had 20 people! yes 20 people! get hair and makeup done and we finished right on time - there was absolutely no stress at all with this. In addition, they do services for men and people of color, which was hard to find in this area. My group was so diverse (black women in my bridal party, my MIL is Indian with thick hair down to her bottom, as examples) and everyone was very pleased with how they looked. The goal was for everyone to feel comfortable and beautiful and that is exactly what happened! I could not recommend them more. And of course, something will go wrong on your wedding day (for me we had some illnesses remove people from attendance) and they were really flexible with subbing out people to have their services instead. Thank you so much!!!

p on time on the day with everything they needed, but we were still in a rush to finish in time for the photographer. Arguably, we were a bit slow to switch chairs. No one liked their makeup and had to touch it up many times, though the artist was super friendly and professional. Very expensive for what we got. Great with an updo, not so much with curls (which I should have gathered from the name)
Response from Updos For I Dos on 11/03/2022
Hi Anna,
Thank you for your review; we take all feedback very seriously and will use this ...
as an opportunity to improve on what we can moving forward. We always strive to be reliable, professional and deliver beautiful looks. We are surprised to hear we did not meet some of these expectations, especially at your trial. We wish we had been provided the opportunity to address your concerns. Future bride/clients - Communication is key! If you are not in love with your look, then our job is simply not done! It's important that we are on the same page going into your wedding day and don't hesitate on asking for a second trial. Additionally, we can not stress enough how important it is to ensure that bridal beauty services are in line with the photographer’s timeline for the day. Lastly, we do everything we can to facilitate just the right amount of time for your services - not too much and not too little; this is why it is important for services to be facilitated in a timely fashion. When a Bridal Artist needs to wait; it takes away time from the whole group. Anna - thank you again for your feedback and we wish you all the best!

Updos For I Dos was truly a lifesaver for our wedding. Since we were getting married out of state, we decided to use a salon close by our venue for ease. However, our trial did not...
go as planned, and my mom and I both left feeling extremely nervous and defeated. I had experience with Updos previously when they did my hair and makeup for my best friend's wedding 5 years ago. They did a fantastic job then, and I realized that we should have just gone with them in the first place despite the commute. My mom had the worst experience during her trial with our first salon, so was extremely nervous about our trial with Updos. Andy had us cracking up from the start, and Amanda was so kind and welcoming. They both made us feel so comfortable and we were so relieved when we saw the final outcome. We felt like movie stars! It was so easy to book with Updos and they were so kind despite some unusual circumstances and late notice on our part.
The day of the wedding, the team showed up right on time to our venue in Pennsylvania and got down to business with my huge bridal party. Each of my 12 (!) bridesmaids are extremely different, but the team listened to their wishes thoughtfully and made them all feel beautiful. Amanda did an amazing job with my mom's hair, including adding a halo; which was fantastic because my mom was worried about her hair. Finally, my makeup and hair made me truly feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. My sister chose my dress for me because I loved wearing fairy princess dresses constantly growing up. The combination of my hair, makeup, and dress made me feel like a fairy princess. Andy, Amanda, and the team were so fun to dance and get ready with and were so kind throughout the whole experience. I truly can't recommend them enough.
