“Amanda and her team are INCREDIBLE! They work true magic :) They made me, and my bridal party, feel like queens on the day of. They both helped me figure out my vision for hair & makeup and then brought that vision to life. I was blown away by my trial and didn’t think they could top it, and then they did on the day of. My bridal party (9), my Mom and my mother-in-law all looked absolutely stunning and radiant, and our hair and makeup held up perfectly throughout a fairly hot and humid North Carolina spring day where we were outside for the entire ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! We also had an after-party that went until 2am and my hair and makeup still looked good throughout that whole event! Our group wanted different styles of makeup, from natural to glam to smokey eyes and everything else, and they did a phenomenal job with each style and taking such a personalized individual approach to enhancing each person’s natural beauty! I was also super impressed with how quick their team was. We never felt rushed and we each felt well taken care-of, but they kept us on time and I really appreciated that. Amanda was wonderful to work with. She is so kind, responsive and was flexible with me throughout planning the wedding during covid with multiple date and venue changes. I hope all brides get the chance to work with a team as wonderful as Amanda and UpDo’s.”

“Amanda and her team did my hair when I was a bridesmaid in Winston-Salem, and I KNEW they had to be the ones who did my hair on my wedding day. Amanda's whole team was so fun and helpful throughout the process. They made the trial process fun and easy, which helped me know for certain how I wanted it to look on the day. They were able to take my many inspiration photos and turn them into reality. They even did a hair change after the ceremony, and they gave me the funnest party pony and made sure my makeup was perfect for the rest of the evening. They brought a calm, fun, and supportive vibe during the get ready portion of the day and throughout the entire day! I'm so grateful they were a part of our day.”

“The Updo's team was absolutely incredible! They worked with our large bridal party and several family members to get eleven people's hair and makeup perfect, and everyone looked great. The team was professional, organized, and friendly, creating a calm and fun atmosphere on the wedding morning. The makeup and hairstyles lasted through the day and night, and they even offered to come back and do touch ups later in the day. They managed a tight schedule seamlessly, ensuring everyone was ready on time. We had to move our wedding from Asheville to Winston-Salem after Hurricane Helene, and they were so helpful and made it as easy as possible for us. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable!”

“Updo’s did a phenomenal job! All my bridesmaids looked fantastic and my hair looked amazing! Like seriously, I don’t think my hair could have looked any better, I was blown away. My hair also looked awesome even at the end of the night too which was very impressive. Also, the fact that they did all of this between 10-1pm is amazing. It was a great experience and I am already recommending Updo’s to all of my engaged friends!”

“I felt so beautiful on my wedding day because of the Updos team! All of my bridesmaids looked gorgeous too! Amanda and her team were so easy to work with. We met for multiple trial sessions until it was exactly how I liked it and they were so kind through the entire process! Go Updos and you won’t regret it!!”

“Amanda and her team are the absolute best! I had 7 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, MOB, MOG, and myself. They were setup and ready to go before we even arrived at the venue and had us all ready within a couple of hours. Everyone on the team is so talented and sweet. My entire bridal party looked and felt beautiful thanks to all of the wonderful ladies that were there that day. I can't say enough good things about Updo's.. they were by far one of the best decisions I could have made for my wedding!”

Nicole PARTY OF 12
OCTOBER 2020

“I am so happy I went with Updo’s for my wedding. Admittedly, I was a little nervous about a team of ladies different than the ones who did my trial showing up on the day-of. My friend used Updo’s for her wedding last year, so I went off her recommendation and positive reviews online. 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!”

“I used Updos Studio for my wedding hair and makeup and it was wonderful! The owner Amanda is very fast in her communication and flexible. I live out of state, and never had any difficulty scheduling my hair and makeup trial and arranging the timeline for the big day. In addition to my bridal hair and makeup, my five bridesmaids and my mother took advantage of their services. The makeup artists were so talented, and the makeup felt light and looked beautiful. Tamara did an amazing job with my hair! I highly recommend them for future use!”

“This is my second time using Updos for wedding hair and makeup (once as a bridesmaid and second as a bride). Both times were awesome! Amanda and her staff were amazing for my trial and for my day of. Her staff were happy to tweak hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids during the day of until we were completely happy with our looks. Staff were timely and kept on schedule. My maid of honor, who has been in several weddings, continues to say Updos is one of the best for hair and makeup.”

Amanda always kept in constant contact with me before my big day. On the day of my wedding, her & two other ladies came to do hair & make-up for me, my bridesmaids & mother of the bride.

MAY 2015

“Updo's was absolutely worth the money! I HIGHLY recommend using them for your wedding! I first had a trial run with them for my bridal portrait session and they did such a great job on my hair and makeup! My portrait turned out beautiful! I've never felt so beautiful in all of my life! THANK YOU! I had them do both hair and makeup for all of my bridesmaids and my mother and mother in law and all of my ladies looked gorgeous along with me! They did such a great job! They were super sweet the day of and patient with me as I ran around like a crazy woman trying to get things done along with them doing my hair and makeup. If you choose them, you will NOT be disappointed! Tell them if you're unhappy with anything as they are doing it and they will gladly change anything to your hair and/or makeup that you're uncomfortable with. They want to not only make you look beautiful but also feel beautiful and ensure you are happy with the end result. Be honest and open with them and you'll get exactly what you want! Don't hesitate! Book with them now! :-) Thank you Amanda and all of the ladies who worked on my wedding!”

“Updo's Studios was absolutely amazing! They were promptly on time (arriving at our venue, which was amazing!!) and were fast, skillful workers! Not only did they do hair and makeup for all 7 of my bridesmaids, myself, and the two mothers, but they were very quick to adapt to what each wanted and made them all look so incredible in practically no time! Highly recommended! They are the best in the triad . I'd also recommend scheduling a trial hairstyle. They took the time to go through different makeup and hairstyles with me to make sure I looked my best for the wedding and were very accommodating with times. I really appreciate that.”

“I had the pleasure of having a hair trial with Updos, which sealed the deal for me! Amanda did a lovely job with my hair and makeup - and worked with me as I tried to figure out exactly what I wanted for our wedding day. On the big day, a team of 3 showed up to get my hair and makeup done, as well as my 3 bridesmaids and my mother. They were excellent at working with all of us as we explained what we wanted. Everyone looked wonderful! We all got compliments and I never felt like I was wearing a lot of makeup, which I've heard is a concern with some vendors. We also had a great time chatting with the team, so it was a very pleasant experience and a great way to start our big day!”

Mandi TEAM OF 3, NEVER HEAVY
FEBRUARY 2014

“I booked Updo's Studio after a great experience with them at my friend's wedding in 2008. I have to say, my hair at her wedding and my hair at my wedding were the two best hair days of my life! They are so creative and really know how to style your hair so it stays put for hours and hours. After 11 hours of hugging every person I know, dancing my self silly at the reception, and even riding a mechanical bull (no joke!) at a post-reception party, my hair was still perfect. They are also fantastic with make up for all ages - flower girls to brides to mothers. One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day, easily!”

“I am so glad that we scheduled Updos for my daughter’s wedding. The day of the wedding was rushed, and it was worth every penny to have these ladies travel to the venue and pamper us while we relaxed and had fun. They were very professional and worked efficiently and in no time had us all looking our best. Some of our group wanted dramatic hair and makeup and some wanted a natural look, and they were able to fill any request. If we did not like something they did, it was immediately changed until we were satisfied. We did wind up having a rainy afternoon, but thanks to Updos our makeup and hair still looked great at the end of the night.”

“These ladies are awesome! The things they can do with hair is unbelievable! I have used them multiple times for different functions and most recently for my wedding! You can give them a picture of anything and they will do it better! Would highly recommend them to anyone needing their hair or makeup done! :)”

“These gals did hair for all of the bridesmaids, makeup for a couple of the bridesmaids and hair and makeup for the bride and me (mother of the bride). Amanda and her crew are the best! They bring the beauty to your home, no hassle scheduling an appointment or worrying that things will not be finished on time. And the results....FANTASTIC!!”

Becky MOTHER OF THE BRIDE

“Updo's is the place to go for all of your styles for any occasion. I have been going to Updo's for over ten years now. I even have taken my sister=in-laws to Updo's for their prom updo's. You can county on your hair looking gorgeous and staying in place all day for your special event even in the heat of the summer. They even specialize in little girl's hair styles. My daughter has a short bob hair style with it stacked in the back. They put all of her hair up in a beautiful style. You would never know that her hair was that short!! If you choose another vendor for your special day, you may be disappointed. Updo's will impress your entire family. They just did my hair this past weekend for my brother's wedding and my family actually thought my hair looked better than the bride's style.”

“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 8 am. 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.”

“Updo's Studio was absolutely fabulous to work with for my wedding! Amanda is responsive, organized, professional, friendly, and accommodating. Her team is friendly, talented, and executed everyone's hair and makeup visions perfectly. We all felt gorgeous on my wedding day. Even though I had a different makeup artist at my trial compared to my wedding day, my makeup still looked the same and beautiful because they took detailed notes. My bridal hair and makeup were absolutely perfect, and I cannot believe how well both held up all night! My hair and makeup still looked flawless at the end of the night, and so did my bridesmaids and mom's HMU. Updo's Studio was set up and ready to go on time, and they also finished everyone with time to spare. They made sure to do final touch-ups before leaving and Amanda double checked every detail. Updo's is fabulous to work with and I highly recommend them!”

Ashley THE BEST

“I hired Updo's for our wedding day hair and makeup. Amanda and her team are not only incredibly talented, they have the best attitude and are so much fun to be around! We had the best morning full of laughs and glam, I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They listen to exactly what you want, and execute the vision flawlessly, everything came out better than expected and all my gals said it was the best hair & makeup they've ever had. Thank you!!”

Molly SO TALENTED & AMAZING
DECEMBER 2022

“Amanda and the rest of the team at Updo’s did such a great job on my wedding hair and makeup. Initially, I was a little worried that their style would be more glam than I wanted, but the final look was so natural and feminine. They took my feedback from the trial and worked with me to create a look that I loved! I couldn’t decide on my final look until my dress came in, after my trial - they were super patient and accommodating! Plus, they finished an hour early on my hair and makeup, so I got to spend some extra time relaxing day-of. They’re the best!”

Caroline I FELT BEAUTIFUL
NOVEMBER 2021

“I am so happy I chose Updo Studio for hair & makeup for my wedding! Amanda (the owner) is very friendly and helpful and does a great job helping to coordinate scheduling for weddings and trials. I had a hair and make-up trial for my bridal shoot 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 did such an amazing job. Seriously, if I had another event I needed hair and make-up done for, I would hire Updo Studio (and specifically Kristen and Tamera) again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much for make me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!”

Amanda was able to confirm just a few weeks out from my bridal portrait and wedding day for not only me, but several members of bridal party.

The trial run was so worth it as well that way there is no worry about not liking your look the day of. Amanda and her team are quick, efficient and have a flawless system set up when doing hair and make up. The make-up looked amazing on camera.

“Updos did an absolutely pefect job on my wedding. I had to rely solely on reviews to find stylists since I was getting married in Durham and I'm not from there, but after my trial I was absolutely sold on these ladies. They were friendly and professional, my hair looked so elegant (and thick, which has never happened before), and my makeup was the perfect amount of drama without looking over done. The morning of my wedding, their team got my huge bridal party ready in plenty of time for the afternoon ceremony, and my makeup and hair stayed looking wonderful during a hot day. So so grateful to them for making my day beautiful.”

They were so quick and made sure everyone was 100% happy with they way they looked while still keeping us on schedule. Amanda and her staff were so friendly and accommodating. They worked around our tears, laughter, and talking and still made everyone look and feel beautiful.”

APRIL 2015

“Amanda and the Updo's crew are all outstanding. They were the second "salon" I contacted about my wedding day hair/make up, and I don't know why I ever considered anyone else. Amanda was easy to get a hold of, always responsive, and was even able to accommodate my request for gift certificates for my girls. The certificates came packaged so nice! The day of my wedding, they were early, got the job done in record time (3 hours for hair and make up for 8 people!), and were very nice and engaging the entire time. They also took into consideration what people wanted, which I have learned is not always the case when having hair and make up professionally done. Everyone not only looked great after they were finished, but also looked great 9 hours later when our reception was shutting down. All of my ladies were thrilled at how their hair and make up turned out. I know that I would have regretted it had I gone with anyone else. Thank you Amanda and the Updos ladies for making us feel and look beautiful!!! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup for a special occasion. You will not be sorry!!”

“Updos Studio was the perfect hair and makeup choice for my wedding! They worked with me to schedule a convenient time for the initial trial, and Amanda understood immediately exactly what I wanted to do with my hair and makeup. They replicated 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.”

All of us had hair and make up done and the end results were amazing. Amanda and her team made my wedding party feel even more amazing and all of that just added to the specialness of my day.”

Theresa ADDED SERVICES LAST MINUTE
NOVEMBER 2013

“I was 100% satisfied with the hair and make up done by Updo's for my wedding. My hair, which was a low side bun, was exactly what I had asked for. It was both elegant and whimsical. Updo's was also able to incorporate my grandmother's brooch 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.”

I rarely have my hair and make-up done professionally so I was a little hesitant the day of my hair and make-up trial. But by the end of it I had so much confidence in trusting them with my special day! They are super creative and also did my bridesmaids and mothers to make them look their absolute best. I feel like they took no time to finish our party of 8 on the wedding day. Thanks again ladies!!”

They are always up to date on the lastest updo's and can honestly do any hair style you could ask for. They did the hair for my entire wedding party and if I say so myself they did an AMAZING job! I knew they would make everyone look beautiful and help make my day even more special. As always I was very pleased!! :)”

As a bride dealing with hair loss and wearing a wig, I was nervous going in, but they made me feel completely at ease and executed everything perfectly. The makeup was flawless. I showed my inspo pic and she literally brought it to life on my face. I felt so beautiful and confident. Truly wish I could take them with me to Louisiana for my wedding day! ❤️”

“I had the pleasure of working with Updo's Studio for my wedding on November 9, 2024, and I can't say enough great things about them! They provided services for six full hair and makeup looks, one flower girl hairstyle, and my bridal hair and makeup. From the very start, their communication was excellent, and the trial was a wonderful experience. On the wedding day, I decided to change my look from the trial, and they absolutely nailed it. It was even better than I had imagined! The entire team brought such a fun and positive vibe to the day, keeping everything light and stress-free. They have a fantastic "assembly line" setup that ensures everyone gets glammed up efficiently without sacrificing quality. Every team member is incredibly skilled and worked beautifully together. Amanda was my primary point of contact, and she was fantastic: responsive, professional, and a joy to work with. I’m beyond satisfied with Updo's Studio and wholeheartedly recommend them to any bride or bridal party. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my special day!”

“So glad Upo's Studio did both the makeup and hair for my wedding. Having a large bridal, I was a bit worried if we would have enough time to get everyone ready in makeup and hair, but boy, did they deliver. All my bridesmaids, including my mother, looked amazing and were super happy with the service. I loved how my hair and makeup turned out! The team was so professional and nice throughout the whole process.”

“Updo's made getting ready with 13 other ladies for my wedding such a breeze! They were so organized, flexible, attentive to details, and had great communication. So many guests commented by the end of the night how my hair and make up looked as it did when I first got it done in the morning! Updo's is a great team, and you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend!”

“When picking a hair and makeup stylist I discovered Up Dos online. I reached out to them as well as several other companies, but what really drew me to Up Dos was how responsive they were. Amanda (the owner) was so prompt in her emails to me. She 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!”

Julia TRIAL SEALED THE DEAL

“I hired Updo's for my daughter's July wedding. They did a great job!! We needed hair and make up for 11 bridesmaids, 1 flower girl, mother of the bride and the bride. A team from Updo's came to the venue and had everyone done in 3 hours. Everyone looked amazing and the bride was stunning. Beautiful updo's and flawless makeup. I highly recommend.”

They gave us all exactly what we wanted and made it look even better than what I thought it could be. My mom looked so good and it was great to see her feel beautiful.

“Updo's was fantastic! They were very professional and did a great job. I hired them for both my hair and my makeup as well as for hair and makeup for my bridesmaids. They did exactly what I wanted for my hair and makeup and exceeded my expectations. They even made up for the mixup we had about what times the contract was for. I cannot say enough good about Updo's! I would totally recommend them!!”

Alexandra EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS

“Definitely book Updos Studio for your wedding - you will not be disappointed! Not only are these ladies able to create a huge variety of hair and makeup styles (I wanted something pretty avant-garde and they totally nailed it!), they are a blast to be around. Amanda, the owner, is so reliable and will answer any concerns you have, she is just completely patient and willing to help. They made me feel like a goddess on my wedding day and I'm so glad I found them!”

“I recently used Updo's for my wedding and they were amazing! Since we had more than 5 people getting ready, they traveled to the wedding site, which was so convenient! Everyone was so sweet and upbeat! They did a phenomenal job on everyone's hair and make up. To quote one of my bridesmaids: "They really know their eyeshadow."”

“Updo's never fails to create amazing hair and makeup! I have used their services for three events including my own wedding. These ladies are amazing!!”

Ashley THREE EVENTS INCLUDING WEDDING
JUNE 2014

“Updo’s did amazing hair and makeup for my wedding! We were fortunate to have Amanda do hair and Ashley do our makeup! Amanda was amazingly fast at putting up my hair and my two sister’s hair. Not only was it quickly done, but it was beautiful 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!”

C HAIR DOWN PASSED THE TEST
FEBRUARY 2014

“We have now used Updo's for Senior pictures, Prom, Homecoming, a Debutante Ball and special events. We are so pleased with the work they have done on all of us these last few years. Not only are they always prompt, the team is always dressed professionally and focused on our needs. Creating a style for each of us wasn't easy, but they do it quickly and with great results. By combining the hair styles with our individual dresses and makeup requirements, we each had cohesive looks that we absolutely loved. I have taken the liberty of recommending them to many of our friends so that they too can have the look that will work for them!”

“The Updo's team is fantastic! They did a great job on all of the girl's hair and make-up including mine! They were able to do whatever styles we wanted and stayed as long as we needed them. I am very glad I found them!”

Nicole ANY STYLE WE WANTED
SEPTEMBER 2013

“I enjoyed working with Updo's. I had contacted a few other makeup artists before through email and received no response. When I emailed Updos I heard back from Amanda very quickly. She answered all of my questions and quickly responded to all of my emails. I thought their prices were very competitive when compared to other businesses. On the day of the wedding they were running around 15 minutes late due to a previous appointment. Teddy was kind enough to email me to let me know. I only had 5 ladies that needed services but Updo's provided 3 makeup artists for us who were all very nice and professional! They listened to my suggestions and did an amazing job! The makeup applied was light so we did not feel like we had makeup caked on our faces. Everyone at the wedding complimented us on our makeup and how natural it looked.”

Kim THREE ARTISTS FOR FIVE LADIES
JUNE 2013

“Updos is a very professional and fun group of gals to work with. My wedding day makeup and hair was perfect. They not only did my makeup but my bridesmaids, mother of the groom, and aunt of the groom. They made my hair stay in place and my makeup last all night. They are the best and fairly priced beauty group in the whole triad area. I received nothing but compliments on my hair and makeup all night.”

JULY 2011

“I got married on June 4, 2011 and have to say that Updo's was a perfect choice for doing the hair and makeup on my special day. They did an amazing job with not just my hair and makeup but all the girls hair and makeup. They were very professional yet very friendly and fun. I highly recommend them.”

Kristen JUNE 4 WEDDING
MAY 2011

“Would recommend them to anyone. Very friendly and professional. Stayed in good contact the whole time. Loved my hair and make up and so did all my bridesmaids. We couldn't get over how fast they were either. They did hairstyles that would normally take someone 2 hours and they tag teamed and got us all done in that same amount of time. Loved them and will definitely use them for other occasions.”

Jessica TAG-TEAMED EVERY STYLE
OCTOBER 2009

“Amanda and everyone at Updo's did an amazing job! They arrived on time and were very professional and speedy. We loved the fact that they came to us and we didn't have to sit in a salon for hours on end. Everyone loved their hair! Thank you for everything.”
