Pinehurst Wedding
Hair & Makeup
A calm, on-time Pinehurst morning brought to your resort suite, and a look that holds through a long Sandhills weekend. We draw on twenty-six years of award-winning North Carolina wedding mornings, and bring the whole studio to you.
We bring the studio
to Pinehurst.
Pinehurst is a destination wedding in the truest sense, a historic golf resort where families arrive for a long weekend, not just a single day, and we love traveling here for exactly that reason. Set in the longleaf pines of the Sandhills, the Village of Pinehurst has hosted celebrations for more than a century, and we treat a wedding at the home of American golf with the unhurried care it deserves. We’re based in Winston-Salem and make the drive to the Sandhills throughout the season, with travel always included.
Whether you’re marrying in the Village Chapel and gathering beneath the wide verandas of The Carolina Hotel, or holding a more intimate celebration at Mid Pines or Weymouth Center, we bring the full studio to your getting-ready suite: bridal hair, your choice of airbrush or HD makeup, lashes, and clip-in extensions. Classic Southern elegance is the language here, and your look is built for it: soft Hollywood waves or a polished updo, and a complexion finish chosen to hold through warm Sandhills afternoons, an outdoor first look on the course, and portraits among the pines.
A Pinehurst weekend usually means a larger party and a fuller schedule, and that is exactly what our team is built for. We style everyone in the room: you, your bridesmaids, both mothers, and the flower girls, so each of you looks like yourself and reads cohesively in every photograph, and we scale the team so even a party of fifteen is typically finished in about three hours or a little more. Because we own a morning timeline planned with you in advance (around the photographer, the chapel, and a resort that runs on its own rhythm), the getting-ready hours stay relaxed and genuinely fun, from the first cup of coffee to the walk down the aisle, with nothing for you to manage.

THE CHAIR
PINEHURST
“I was impressed with Amanda, the owner of Updo’s Studio, who quickly responded to all my concerns via email and phone calls. On my wedding day, my hair and makeup artists, Amanda and Shauna, promptly arrived at my hotel room at 8am. They were both friendly, professional, and thorough. I was thrilled with the results. They both did a spectacular job. I would highly recommend their services.”

Do you travel to Pinehurst for wedding hair and makeup?
Yes. Pinehurst and the Sandhills are a favorite destination of ours. We’re based in Winston-Salem, about an hour and a half to two hours away, and travel here throughout the season for weddings at Pinehurst Resort, the Village Chapel, Mid Pines, Weymouth Center, and private homes across Moore County, with travel included in every package.
Is travel included for a Pinehurst destination wedding, and how does it work?
Travel is included in your package. Because Pinehurst is a resort destination with early call times and a full weekend schedule, we plan the logistics with you in advance (suite access, setup space, and timing around the chapel and your photographer) so we arrive ready and the morning runs without a hitch.
Do you offer airbrush or HD makeup in Pinehurst?
Yes. Both airbrush and high-definition makeup are available. We’ll recommend the right finish for your skin, your photographer’s lighting, and a warm Sandhills afternoon, so you look like yourself in person, on the course for portraits, and on camera all night.
Can you handle a large bridal party at a Pinehurst resort wedding?
Absolutely. Large parties are one of our specialties, and resort weddings often have them. We bring a full, coordinated team so a party of 10 to 15 or more is typically finished in about three hours or a little more, all styled to one cohesive look.
We’re planning from out of town. When should we schedule a preview for a Pinehurst wedding?
We typically hold previews at our Winston-Salem studio 8 to 12 weeks before the wedding. If you’re traveling in for a Pinehurst celebration, we’ll coordinate the timing so your preview lands when you’re already nearby, and we’ll lock in your exact hair and makeup so the resort morning itself is effortless.
