Updo's Studio

fast, efficient, and talented group of hair stylists and makeup artists.

oot and then hair and make-up on my wedding day. Every artist I met was so talented and friendly! They did a fantastic job. Kristen did my make-up at my trial and I absolutely LOVED it. She did an amazing job giving me options, showing me how everything was looking and adjusting as needed until we got the look I wanted. I got lucky that she was available for my wedding day too, and again, she did a phenomenal job. I loved my make-up. I was of course very particular since it was my wedding day and she fixed every tiny detail exactly how I wanted it. I was so happy with how it turned out! Thank you, Kristen! I was equally impressed with my hair. I did a trial with Tamera and had photos to show and Tamera did an amazing job styling my hair. I loved it when I was done, but we both agreed a couple of tweaks could be made to get the final look. On my wedding day, Tamera knew exactly what to do to get the look I was going for, even though I couldn’t necessarily articulate it. My hair looked INCREDIBLE. I was seriously blown away by how good it looked. I also had a vase of flowers for my hair and Tamera did such a good job styling them in my hair, even though she didn’t have a photo to go off of. Besides my own hair and make-up looking good, my bridesmaids and my mom and MIL also got hair and/or make-up done, and everyone looked so good! Everyone was happy with how they looked and I thought everyone looked absolutely gorgeous. Updo's did such an amazing job. Seriously, if I had another event I needed hair and make-up done for, I would hire Updo's Studio (and specifically Kristen and Tamera) again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much for make me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

uch ups for everyone for after our lunch. Hair was perfect and looked just like our sample pictures. Almost as important as us looking good, the stylists were fun! They laughed along with us and kept everyone happy and confident! Would 100% recommend

d I could show you a before and after lol you'd see this group of stylists are the best around. hire them!!! lol cause they make you your best self!!!

ants and needs, and executed flawlessly!! They did a perfect job on my apprehensive mom, opinionated girlfriends and sisters, and made it look like my bad skin didn’t have a flaw on it! I would absolutely recommend them for anyone in the hair or makeup market in the central or western part of NC! (Or anywhere else, for that matter!)

he answered all my questions and was so easy to correspond with. At my trial, they asked me my vision. I showed them my picture examples and they went to work. In just under an hour, they had literally "transformed" me. I kept looking in the mirror because I was shocked at how good I looked. On the wedding day, my hair stylist and makeup stylist showed up right on time. They immediately got to work on me and my 4 bridesmaids. Each of us have different views on how much makeup we like and opinions about our hair and they handled each of us individually and made us all feel absolutely beautiful. I just got some of my photographs back from my wedding and they are breathtaking and I truly believe that's because of how good we all felt with our hair and makeup done. Thank you to Amanda and her staff for doing such an incredible job. I am so thankful for you all and how beautiful you made me and my bridesmaids feel on my wedding day!

os. These ladies did an absolutely fantastic job, I have never felt more beautiful and my bridesmaids and mom looked fabulous as well. They communicated well, were on time, worked quickly and above all were kind. I would recommend them over and over again.

ommendation and positive reviews. I’m so glad that I did because they did a phenomenal job. The team was on time, super sweet, professional, and talented. They had clear notes and pictures from my hair & makeup trial and were able to do to exactly what I wanted. I didn’t have a plan for my bridesmaids’ hair and let the team do whatever they thought was best based on each bridesmaids’ hair type. Everyone looked stunning! Our hair & makeup lasted all day long, and they finished us up just a tad early giving us plenty of time for bridesmaid photos before the wedding. They were also very accommodating and let me add on my flower girl’s hair the night before the event. I would highly recommend this company!

, they did do my hair and makeup for my bridal portraits pre-COVID and it was amazing! I looked exactly how I imagined and could not have been happier with the outcome. They have been such an incredible vendor to work with and I am looking forward to my postponed wedding day to work with them again!

of the bride, I was a little nervous having someone else do my hair and makeup. They made me feel at ease and even gave me a few makeup tips. Most of all, they made all of us feel beautiful. Thank you for helping make this such a perfect day.

avy but that's just from a woman who doesn't wear makeup generally. All of the hair was perfect and they changed a few hairstyles and make up choices with no complaints. I would definitely recommend them to any bride or anyone needing great hair and makeup. Thank you ladies!

very best. One of my most memorable moments from my day, Amanda (Updo’s Owner), while getting my makeup done comes up behind me, gently rubs my shoulder and says “It’s me little Bride, I’m going to get started on your hair.” First tears of the day! It was just a sweet special moment I’ll never forget. They captured my vision perfectly and everyone’s hair stayed all day. Even after hours on the dance floor our hair looked perfect! I’d absolutely hire them all over again!

lt. My mom and bridesmaids also LOVED the way they looked, my mom lost her picture to show them of what she wanted, and she had to just tell her, and she ended up giving her the exact look she wanted! Same goes for make up- they were perfect!

book them for a wedding, no question!!

p preferences and then they brought it to life. It was truly a joy to spend the morning before my wedding with the women of Updo Studio.

re for a few touch ups! Everyone looked beautiful all day long- from pictures before the ceremony through the very end of the night- even after a few happy tears, sweating, and dancing!

and myself were beyond happy and everyone looked incredible.

them last minute to request them for my sister’s wedding. It was the absolute best decision and they calmed my frazzled nerves immediately. Everyone looked beautiful! Even my mom who thought her hair was too short to do anything with Amanda worked her magic! I cannot thank you enough for helping make my sister’s special day perfect! These ladies really know what they are doing and personally I think their pricing is very reasonable for their skill level and professionalism! You will not regret your choice!

ey use for scheduling. Even after completing it, there was a question of how many people would be getting hair and make-up done for the wedding. The day-of, we had one hair and one make-up artist. They did a great job, but did seem a little rushed. I am not sure I ended up getting the HD powder done before we had to start pictures of me getting into my dress. Regardless, my hair and make-up were beautiful, and all the little girls at the wedding thought I was Cinderella.

perience! The team of stylists came fully equipped with all things beauty and transformed Mothers of bride and groom, our matrons of honor, and most importantly our bride into beautiful visions. I loved that we could show a picture as an example and this team of talented ladies were able to recreate the look. It was such a pleasant experience from point of contact to day of. Updo's are experienced professionals that were prompt and completed hair/makeup in a timely fashion-which is so very important when bridal portrait & wedding day has a strict timeframe, their approach is calm and they have wonderful sense of humor! :) You immediately feel relaxed and confident that this team of beauty professionals know exactly what they are doing and they make you feel BEAUTIFUL on your most important day! Praises for Updo's! Blessings to you all for continued success!

r changed 2 times before she found a style she liked. The only negative thing I experienced was when I went in for my trial run. I spent about 30 minutes there and most of that time was just makeup. Amanda came in at the last minute and threw my hair up into an updo. It felt very rushed and not friendly...maybe she was having a bad day?? I felt like I couldnt tell them I didn't like it because they were ready for me to go. After that I contemplated on whether or not to use them for my wedding day. However, it was pretty late in the game to make changes and overall they had good reviews. I didn't have any other problems and, in the end, I was happy with what I got.

the owner well in advance prior to the wedding since we were unable to do a trial run as we lived all the way across the country. Unfortunately, my hair looked nothing like the photo, but it ended up working out anyway. All of the bridesmaids were unhappy with how their makeup turned out; however, the girls were very accommodating in making those changes. Some of the wedding party actually took off all their makeup and undid their hair to redo it. In all honesty, it is hard to have another person do your makeup and hair as you yourself know what looks the best.

wanted for my wedding. I highly recommend Amanda and her team!
