Updo's Studio

lot, which gave her an attitude. They were responsive so I will give them that, but I was a pretty laid back bride, I wasn't demanding but I was not happy with the over all results. I had to redo my makeup, (the make up artist was very nice), and my hair had more hairspray in it then I have ever used in my life time. It did come out nice, but felt like plastic. Probably wouldn't recommend. I really am not one to write terrible reviews but I thought I should share.

stop at the same time (a 3ish hour process for 9 people), which is a little non-traditional when you consider standard hair and makeup appointments. It just meant the moms couldn't leave early like had been discussed. Also the $25 "deposit" doesn't go towards your final bill - it's a reservation fee.

. She offered great ideas, but ultimately let me make the decisions. She wanted me to be 110% happy! I was amazed at how I looked that day! I think this was definitely worth the price. Way beyond value! Highly recommend.

that. The money is worth it!

suggest booking them. Fun girls that do great work!

id a phenomenal job with my hair, and I loved my makeup! They brought in a team of girls, and had our party of eleven done in two hours! Our hair and makeup lasted all night, and I even wore my updo the next day :) I would highly recommend them for your wedding day beauty services!

rning.

that look for the wedding without issue and it came out beautifully - I felt like a princess! They gave the bridesmaids (and mother of the bride) hairstyles on the day of as described - I was recently in a wedding where the salon gave many of the bridesmaids different hairstyles because they couldn't do the brides request (a simple french braid!) so I speak from experience when I say that the Updo's crew did the same beautiful hair exactly as I pictured it! They came to the venue on the wedding day and the team was punctual, efficient, friendly, and accurate. I was very pleased to have worked with them.

them to anyone!

I wanted. I started with a style that I thought I wanted, but she was able to make a few changes that made it look so much better than I ever thought my hair could! I was so excited about my style. My hair stayed perfect the entire day, even in the midst of the rain, heat, and humidity. My bridal party was EXTREMELY happy with them as well. All of my bridesmaids loved their styles and make-up. I had a wide range of girls in my wedding and they accommodated the different personalities with the hair and make-up. A friend of mine loved it so much, she is using them for her wedding. The staff is so friendly and works hard to make whatever you want a reality. Super talented and sweet people!!

nd be pampered for a little while before I said "I do." Everyone looked so beautiful and I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. I also used Updo's for my bridal portraits and Amanda Gatewood was so great, I wish she could do my hair and makeup everyday! I'm so thankful for all they did and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who would ask me!

They also did my three bridesmaids, daughter (FG), and my mother's hair and make up. I have my hair and make up done several times a year for formal events that I attend and have NEVER had better quality than these girls. My make up lasted throughout the night and my curls lasted 3 days!!! It was nice to only have to touch up my hair for the first few days of my honeymoon. I felt that their prices were more than reasonable and they were kind but efficient on my wedding day. They were on time and got everyone done without making them feel rushed. She swept in and out of the event so seamlessly that people even asked who did my hair and make up because they never saw anyone! LoL I would recommend Amanda and her crew to anyone needing hair/makeup for their wedding. She was so kind throughout the whole process and dealt with my constant decision change on my hair. Since I lived 2.5 hours away from my wedding venue...she communicated via email very well.

l and stayed throughout the night! My sisters had updo’s, but my hair was down, so it passed the true test when I was dancing and sweaty and my hair STILL looked great! Ashley did gorgeous makeup for my sisters, my mom, and myself! She was so nice and made any changes we wanted. I was somewhat picky about how I wanted my makeup done and she didn’t make me feel bad about asking for many, small changes. Both of them were incredibly sweet and we felt like we were hanging out with friends, mind you incredibly talented friends! I was so grateful that I chose Updo’s to do our hair and makeup for the wedding and I would recommend it to other girls in a heartbeat!

och into the hair style, which added a touch of sentiment. Each bridesmaid had their hair pulled up in a bun, but I had requested different heights. Updo's easily accomplished the task by placing one bun on the top and the other lower on the nape. The hairstyles suited the dresses that each girl wore. The mother of the bride's updo was just perfect for the shape of her face, her age, and for the formality of the event. Not only did the hairstyle look elegant, but it held its shape all night. Additionally, the entire wedding party was thrilled with their makeup. No one was overdone, just the right amount of color without looking theatrical.

to each other about other brides/appointments. When I asked Amanda to fix my hair because I did not feel it looked right (like we had done in the trial run) she clearly became frustrated with me and kept her attitude the rest of our session. I have a large back tattoo that I paid extra to have airbrushed so it would be covered for my Catholic ceremony. It took over an hour to airbrush my back tattoo and shortly after the team left, while putting on my dress, my whole back began to crack and chip off, leaving sections uncovered. They did not bother to blend the makeup either making it more of an eyesore than professionally done. We had to take my dress off and scrub the makeup from my back making me late to the ceremony. When my mother attempted to contact Updos about our problems they didn't respond, resulting in me sending an email while on my honeymoon. They then said it was my fault for "not sitting still enough". As an easygoing bride I was extremely dissatisfied and unhappy with the services they provided. Although the value was a good deal, I wouldn't recommend Updos to a friend.

riend had referred me to them. My husband loved my hair & Make-up for the wedding he said they brought out my natural beauty. I would refer them to anyone because of how professional they were.

ecommend them to anybody who is getting married or in need.

list and felt very stressed and helpless while trying to find the perfect extensions for my wedding day. I met up with Amanda and she was able to explain to me exactly what I needed and handled everything for me including matching up the color and ordering. She knew exactly how to take the stress off my me and handle what needed to be done. Throughout the whole wedding planning Amanda was very flexible and responded to all emails very quickly. On my wedding day a couple of my bridesmaids were crying because they were so happy with their hair. I could not have asked for anything better! I feel blessed to have found such a sweet group of girls to work with. I highly recommend them for your wedding day and rest assured you will look absolutely beautiful because they will make sure you are 100% happy!

flower girls a unique look that fit their personality perfectly. As the bride, you want your hair and make-up to look perfect on your wedding day, I can honestly say Updo's helped me look exactly like I had always dreamed I would look. I would definitely use them again!

veryone said how beautiful we all looked, and that was due to Updo's.

iculty. The ladies came on time on the wedding day (very important when you have a photographer waiting to take pictures) and were ready to go. They got 10 people's hair and 8 people's makeup done in less than 3 hours. Very impressive!

on time, professional and fast!! They did my entire party in about 2 hours, which was great for me:) Will definitely recommend this company to any bride, they made my magical day even more perfect!

m! They can do pretty much anything with all types of hair. Highly recommend!

s, and 2 mothers. Everyone was so pleased and the hair and makeup looked great!

SIVE, BUT AMAZINGLY IT WAS THE BEST PRICE I COULD FIND.

ictures is really important and the ladies at Updo's understand that. They even come to your house to do everything, which makes things less crazy for you on the wedding day.

my trial run (bridal portraits in Greensboro) and on the wedding day (which was in Raleigh). Most of my bridesmaids and both my mom and my husband's mom had their hair and makeup done by Updo's too. Amanda and her assistant were great not only when the girls had pictures to go from, but also when they just asked the stylists to do what they thought would look good. Definitely a great choice!
