My wedding planner suggested I book with UpDos for IDos and I am so so happy that I did! I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup at all so I was very nervous because I did not want t...
o look too done up but also did not want to look not done up enough but Ashlie made me look beautiful! I had a hair and makeup trial in January of 2023 and I was not totally in love with the makeup look at my first trial so I had a second trial with Ashlie again a few weeks later and she listened to every change I wanted to make and the second trial turned out perfectly! I also was very indecisive about my hair and at the trial I thought I wanted a half up half down look but I ended up asking Jennifer to do all down voluminous curls on the day of the wedding and it turned out perfect! Ashlie and Jennifer were a great team on the day of the wedding and brought such fun energy to the day! Ashlie is the life of the party and will sing to you while making you forget about any nerves you may have. This company was also very accommodating with changes I needed to make at the last minute with the number of services and I will recommend them every time! Thank you!! :)
