Beaufort Wedding
Hair & Makeup
A calm waterfront morning on the Crystal Coast, and a look built to hold through the salt air all night. Updo’s Studio brings the full studio to your Beaufort, North Carolina wedding, with travel and an overnight stay quoted by destination.
We bring the studio
to Beaufort.
Beaufort sits on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, and yes, this is Beaufort, NC, not its Lowcountry cousin in South Carolina. As the state’s third-oldest town, “Beaufort-by-the-Sea” pairs a 300-year-old waterfront with the wild Banker horses you can watch grazing the Rachel Carson Reserve just across Taylor Creek. It’s about a four-hour drive from our Winston-Salem studio, and we make the trip gladly. Our package prices are the same wherever we travel; for a destination this far, travel and an overnight stay for the team are quoted with your proposal.
We arrive the morning of with the full studio packed and ready (bridal hair, your choice of airbrush or HD makeup, lashes, and clip-in extensions) and set up right in your getting-ready suite. Whether you’re saying your vows on the water at The BoatHouse at Front Street Village, under the magnolias at the Beaufort Historic Site, or on the deck at the Beaufort Hotel, we choose hold and complexion finishes for what a Crystal Coast day actually does (salt air, an on-the-water breeze, and the kind of seaside humidity that undoes a style that wasn’t planned for it), so yours stays put.
We style everyone in the room: you, your bridesmaids, both mothers, and the flower girls, so each of you looks like yourself and the whole party reads as one cohesive look in every photograph, from the first look to the last sparkler. And because we own a morning timeline planned with you in advance and scale the team to your numbers, even a party of fifteen finishes calmly and on time, leaving the getting-ready hours unhurried, joyful, and entirely yours.

“Their team was amazing and were able to implement our wishes to a T. They even redid my hair trial when I wanted to experiment with a different curl size, and were flexible with what services we wanted. We got so many compliments on the day of, and everything lasted the whole night. Highly recommend!”
Common
questions.
How much is wedding hair and makeup in Beaufort?
Our package prices are the same wherever we travel: from $575 for the bride and $225 per party member, with a bridal preview included in every tier. Beaufort, about four hours from our Winston-Salem studio, is far enough that travel and an overnight stay for the team are quoted with your proposal. Send your date and venue for an exact Beaufort quote.
Do you travel to Beaufort, NC for wedding hair and makeup?
Yes, and to be clear, this is Beaufort on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, not Beaufort, South Carolina. We’re based in Winston-Salem, about four hours inland, and travel to the coast for weddings throughout the season at venues like The BoatHouse at Front Street Village, the Beaufort Historic Site, the Beaufort Hotel, and the Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center, as well as private homes and rentals.
How does travel work for a Beaufort destination wedding?
Our package prices are the same wherever we travel; for Beaufort, about four hours away on the Crystal Coast, travel and an overnight stay for the team are quoted with your proposal. We arrive rested, set up calmly in your suite, and run the morning without a hitch.
Do you offer airbrush or HD makeup in Beaufort?
Yes. Both airbrush and high-definition makeup are available. For a coastal wedding we’ll recommend the right finish for your skin, your photographer’s light off the water, and the salt air and seaside humidity, so you look like yourself in person and in every waterfront photo, and it holds all night.
Can you handle a large bridal party in Beaufort?
Absolutely. Large parties are a specialty: we bring a full, coordinated team that styles parties of 10 to 15 or more in about three hours on average. We scale the team to your numbers so even a big Crystal Coast party (your whole party and your mom) finishes calmly and on time.
Will my hair and makeup last through Crystal Coast humidity and the ocean breeze?
Yes. It’s exactly what we plan for. Salt air, an on-the-water breeze, and coastal humidity all affect how a style holds, so we choose hold and complexion finishes built for a waterfront day and finish with flyaway control and a final photo check before you head outside. For a traveling couple we usually settle your exact look at a preview 8 to 12 weeks out, at our Winston-Salem studio or whenever you’re already nearby.
Your Beaufort morning,
beautifully handled.
