ON-SITE IN BOONE

We bring the studio
to Boone.

Boone sits higher and cooler than almost anywhere we travel, a college town tucked into the High Country, with App State at its center, the Blue Ridge Parkway just over the ridge, and Grandfather Mountain on the horizon. It is roughly a two-hour climb up from our Winston-Salem studio, and one we make gladly. Our package prices are the same wherever we travel; for a High Country wedding, travel and an overnight stay for the team are quoted with your proposal.

Up here the air is thinner and crisper, the light is sharp, and a mountain morning can turn breezy before the first look, so we plan for it. Whether you are marrying in the riverfront barns of The Mast Farm Inn in Valle Crucis, beside the water wheel at The Mill at Rock Creek, or on the Grandfather-facing terrace at Westglow, we bring the full studio to your suite (bridal hair, airbrush or HD makeup, lashes, and clip-in extensions) and choose hold and complexion finishes designed to last through elevation, wind, and a long day outdoors, so your look holds while you’re free to enjoy it.

We style everyone in the room: you, your bridesmaids, both mothers, and the flower girls, so each of you looks like yourself and stays cohesive in every mountain-backdrop portrait. And because we own a morning timeline planned with you in advance and scale the team to the party, even fifteen people are finished comfortably on time, leaving the getting-ready hours calm, warm, and genuinely fun.

“I am so happy I went with Updo’s for my wedding. The team was on time, super sweet, professional, and talented. They had clear notes and pictures from my hair and makeup trial and were able to do exactly what I wanted. Everyone looked stunning! Our hair and 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. I would highly recommend this company!”

BOONE · FAQ

Common
questions.

How much is wedding hair and makeup in Boone?

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. Boone, about a two-hour drive 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 Boone quote.

Do you travel to Boone for wedding hair and makeup?

Yes. Boone and the Blue Ridge High Country are destinations we love. We’re based in Winston-Salem and make the drive up throughout the season, working at venues like The Mast Farm Inn, The Mill at Rock Creek, Westglow Resort & Spa, Meadowbrook Inn, Overlook Barn, and The Barn on New River, as well as private cabins and rentals. Our package prices are the same wherever we go; for Boone, travel and an overnight stay are quoted with your proposal.

How does travel work for a Boone destination wedding?

Boone is about a two-hour drive from our studio. Our package prices are the same wherever we travel; for Boone, travel and an overnight stay for the team are quoted with your proposal. We arrive early, set up in your suite or rental, and run the morning on a clear timeline so the distance never shows in your day.

Do you offer airbrush or HD makeup in Boone?

Yes. Both airbrush and high-definition makeup are available. We’ll recommend the right finish for your skin, your photographer’s lighting, and a High Country celebration, where the sharp mountain light and an outdoor first look reward a complexion built to hold.

Can you handle a large bridal party at a Boone venue?

Absolutely. Large parties are a specialty: we bring a full, coordinated team that finishes a party of 10 to 15 or more in about three hours on average, even on a mountain venue’s timeline, so your whole party, and your mom, is ready together and on schedule.

Will my hair and makeup hold up at Boone’s elevation and in the mountain air?

Yes. It’s exactly what we plan for. Boone sits noticeably higher and cooler than the Piedmont, so the crisp air and a breezy ridge-top first look are part of how we choose your styling. We build in long-hold structure and flyaway control, then do a final photo check before you step outside, so your look stays put from the ceremony through the last dance.

Your Boone morning,
beautifully handled.
