Kinds words from our brides

We love all our brides and are honored to be a part of their special day. These sweet brides were generous to share some kind words with us about their experience. It makes us feel so good to know we were able to be a special part of their wedding day.
Haley did such a wonderful job with my bridal hair and makeup. She made me feel so beautiful! She had such great recommendations along the way and her trick with a napkins for catching my happy tears worked wonders. I can’t recommend enough Updos For I Dos as they are truly professionals who put away all my worries and made my wedding day so special.

I absolutely loved working with the Updos For I Dos team! Having a small, intimate wedding meant that I got to be my own wedding planner and interact from start to finish with my vendors. Jaclyn was a delight to work with, she listened to every piece of feedback I had during my trial and somehow made my rambled thoughts about makeup and hair into something truly spectacular. As someone who doesn’t often wear makeup, I was really nervous about that part, but I truly have never felt more beautiful thanks to Jaclyn’s excellent work.

I'm so happy with my decision to use Updos For I Dos for our wedding day. Ashlie and Jenn were amazing, and made getting ready so easy and stress free. My whole bridal party was so happy with how their hair and makeup turned out!

I recently had the pleasure of contracting the most extraordinary hair and makeup services for my June 2023 wedding, and I am still in awe of the incredible talent that was brought to life on my special day. The level of expertise and attention to detail demonstrated by Mary and Dana was truly exceptional. They took the time to understand my personal style, listened attentively to my preferences, and worked with me to create a look that perfectly complemented my features and overall wedding theme. They were incredibly and skillfully efficient, working hard to take care of five bridesmaids, two moms, and myself without compromising the final looks and all while keeping to our wedding timeline, even with a last-minute addition. Their ability to capture my vision and enhance our natural beauty was beyond remarkable. Throughout the entire process, Mary and Dana exuded a sense of warmth and professionalism. Their calm and reassuring demeanors created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, putting me at ease during what could have been a very stressful time. Mary and Dana went above and beyond by helping my bridesmaids who were unsure of exactly what final look they wanted. Their professionalism, talent, attention to detail, and genuine care truly sets the UpDos for I Dos team apart. They transformed me into a radiant bride and made each member of my bridal party feel beautiful. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for any bride-to-be.

Dana is the sweetest soul one will ever meet, from the moment we got to our venue, Dana greeted us with the friendliest smile and congratulated me on our big day. She was very welcoming at 9am, (which is rare for most people at that hour). Dana first went through each of my bridesmaid’s hair, answering different questions they had, created a masterpiece with each of their hairstyles, and perfecting how each of them wanted it done. Then I come along…Dana had to put up with the 100+ inspiration photos I had, and still with me having no idea specifically what I wanted. So I told her, “I trust you”, and let her get to work. She blew me away with what she was able to create, and amazed me with her work! Dana is the type of person that makes you feel right at home and so comfortable. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else on our big day, THANK YOU DANA!!

The Updos For I Dos team was such a joy to work with from my hair & makeup trial to the day of the wedding! I'm so grateful for Steffani and Kelly for going above and beyond in helping me and my bridal party look and feel amazing. One of the highlights of my day was seeing how excited my mom and mother-in-law were to have their hair & makeup done!

My husband Seth and I were married on May 20th 2023 at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina. Our wedding planner Belle of the Ball gave us a list of recommended hair and makeup vendors and UpDos for I Dos was one of them along with some other hair and makeup artists but I loved that this company did both hair and makeup so I booked with them. Ashlie was assigned for makeup and Jennifer for hair. I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup at all so I was very nervous because I did not want to look too done up but also did not want to look not done up enough but Ashlie made me look perfect! I had a hair and makeup trial in January of 2023 and I was not totally in love with the makeup look at my first trial so I had a second trial with Ashlie again a few weeks later and she listened to every change I wanted to make and the second trial turned out perfectly! I also was very indecisive about my hair and at the trial I thought I wanted a half up half down look but I ended up asking Jennifer to do all down voluminous curls on the day of the wedding and it turned out perfect! Ashlie and Jennifer were a great team on the day of the wedding and brought such fun energy to the day! Ashlie is the life of the party and will sing to you while making you forget about any nerves you may have. This company was also very accommodating with changes I needed to make at the last minute with the number of services and I am so happy I booked UpDos for IDos and I will recommend them every time!

Updos For I Dos is such a pleasure to work with! They did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding. They were so well organized, professional, and on point with communication every step of the way. They highly exceeded my expectations and we had 20 people! YES 20 people! get hair and makeup done and we finished right on time - there was absolutely no stress at all with this. In addition, they do services for men and people of color, which was hard to find in this area. My group was so diverse (black women in my bridal party, my MIL is Indian with thick hair down to her bottom, as examples) and everyone was very pleased with how they looked. The goal was for everyone to feel comfortable and beautiful and that is exactly what happened! I could not recommend them more. And of course, something will go wrong on your wedding day (for me we had some illnesses remove people from attendance) and they were really flexible with subbing out people to have their services instead. Thank you so much!!!

I absolutely loved using UpDos For I Dos for my wedding, and would 100% recommend them to anyone else who is looking for a hair and makeup service! The company itself was so easy to work with, and extremely responsive to any questions that I had. Then the trial went so smoothly - both Heather and Ashley were happy to make any changes I wanted, and they took notes on everything they did to make sure they would get it exactly right on the actual wedding day. Then on the wedding day, Heather and Ashley showed up early, they were very efficient and made sure everyone was happy with their look - Ashley even re-did my mom's hair when it was a little tight for her, and made sure that my mom was happy. They even stayed a little bit later than they were supposed to (totally my family's fault) to make sure everyone who had signed up got their hair and makeup done. Then I had forgotten to bring any lipstick at all with me and Heather was so nice and gave me the new lipstick she had used on me (even though that was not part of the package at all). My makeup stayed the ENTIRE night, even though I sweat a lot! And my hair lasted through three hours of dancing! The entire time Heather and Ashley were so professional and kind; I highly recommend this company for anyone looking!

There are so many wonderful things I could say about updos for I do's. I had previously been a part of a wedding that used them as a vendor and I loved their work. When I got engaged, I knew it was a no-brainer who I would use for hair on my wedding day. During the planning process, they were quick to respond, answer any questions, and were so accommodating to my type A needs. If you are looking for a company and stylists who truly respect and love their brides, look no further, updo for I dos is for you! Haley Hiss was my stylist for both weddings and she is truly the best. Haley was early for the day, ready to roll and completed 8 wedding day hair looks not only on time but ahead of schedule! During my trial, I had discussed wanting a hair change (party pony) for reception and she walked my sister through the steps and again on wedding day. She even left the products we would need to complete it. Haley goes above and beyond for her brides which you feel as soon as you are in her presence. Not only is her work amazing, but her personality is just as beautiful and I truly consider her a friend."

I LOVED working with Updos For I Dos for my wedding in October. They helped me find the perfect natural makeup look I was hoping for, and turned me into a Celtic Warrior Princess with my hair! The team was lovely, sweet, and so good at what they do. Would recommend to anyone looking for a company for their wedding!

Jennifer and Steffani were absolutely amazing!! They got all 11 of us done with time to spare and everyone loved their hair and makeup. They were the perfect duo! The morning was so much fun and our group had such a great time talking to them. Thank you again to Steffani and Jennifer - you guys were the best!!

Where do I begin?? Updos for I Do’s exceeded all of my expectations! They were really great with communication, the trial was extremely helpful, and they made the morning of my wedding stress-free and fun! Haley was amazing. For starters, my hairdresser who was supposed to highlight my hair a week before the wedding CANCELLED!!! I panicked especially since it’s impossible to get a new appointment within 5 days. Haley was a hero and made some phone calls and got me in with a new hairdresser who ended up being amazing. Haley really took the time to listen to me and made sure my hair and makeup felt natural and that I felt like myself. I wasn’t sure about hair extensions and fake eyelashes, but after my trial and certainly after my wedding, I was so happy Haley showed me both versions! I didn’t know that hair extensions and fake eyelashes could look so natural! Haley made me feel like every detail was just as important to her as it was to me! Thank you!!

From the very start to finish Updos for I Dos was amazing. They were professional and very personable to everyone who was both in and out of my bridal party. They immediately found a spot to work, set their stations up, and begin to work on our bridesmaids. Both my makeup artist and hairstylist showed up on time and stayed until everyone was happy with their hair and makeup. My makeup and hair truly came out to my vision and I could not be more thankful for having them on my wedding day. I recommend using Updos For I Dos for any and every occasion. Wedding day artists include: Gabby and Meghan

As a wedding photographer in business for 17 years, I've seen lots of women get ready for special events and I've worked with lots of hair and makeup teams. I couldn't have been more thrilled with my experience with Updos for I Dos for my own wedding in September 2021. I hired them for hair and makeup for myself and my best friend and hair styling for my two daughters. We all had so much fun getting ready. And I've never felt more beautiful in my entire life (and I don't think it was *just* the magic touch of rose gold sparkle that Andy added to my eye makeup after seeing my sequin dress!). We were ahead of schedule. We felt fabulous. And Alaina and Andy were a joy to be around, from trial appointment to the wedding day. I can recommend them without reservation.

From the moment of booking, Updos For I Dos staff were friendly, thorough, and passionate about making my wedding day dreams come true. My wedding was so special and unique when it came to details and I wanted a hair and makeup experience that fit that theme. My team exceeded expectations and made us feel not only comfortable but so, so beautiful and confident. To be able to pick exactly what we wanted and have it done so expertly in the comfort of our own space was such a joy. I look forward to experiencing their talent at future weddings I will be a part of!

Heather and Dana provided makeup and hair services for myself, my bridesmaids, and my mother and mother-in-law. Everyone turned out absolutely beautiful and I received so many compliments on my own hair and makeup. It was a pleasure to work with both of these ladies and they made a long morning turn out wonderful. Our hair and makeup were just as beautiful as the day itself. I highly recommend both of these ladies as they do wonderful work and are a pleasure to work with.

From my trial to the day of, we could not have been happier with our Updos For I Dos experience!! I was not the most explicit bride when it came to my hair and makeup, just throwing out some broad ideas and wishes… Ashley and Amanda took those scattered thoughts and gave me the perfect hair and makeup!! On the day off, all of the Updos team were a great addition to our getting ready party - keeping the vibes relaxed and fun while also ensuring we stuck to the schedule and everyone had perfect hair and makeup. Having a group for beauty that didn’t add to the stress of a wedding day but even eased it was so amazing!

Being an Updos For I Dos bride is truly the BEST! From the moment I booked with them, they were professional and timely with all of my requests and scheduling my trial. I was able to send images of inspiration for both myself and my bridesmaids. We worked with Alaina and Nicole on the day and can not say enough great things about each of them. They are both incredibly talented and made sure that our wedding day was off to a perfect start. Their positive attitudes and ability to jump right in to make all of my bridesmaids feel comfortable right away. From glam to natural, both artists were able to find styles that made all of my bridesmaids feel happy and confident. I received multiple compliments from both guests and my bridal party, not to mention my groom absolutely loved my bridal look!

When I originally planned to get married a little ways away from home I never even thought about the fact that I didn’t know where to start with having to find someone to do hair. You all made the experience effortless and created such a smooth/enjoyable experience. Communication was impeccable leading up to the wedding and for that I will forever be grateful! Liseth was amazing and I absolutely was in love with my hair for the wedding. Thank you to you all!

We had the best experience with Updos For I Dos! We had a large group (15 women) and they were able to assign 2 hair stylists and 2 makeup artists to ensure we were finished in a timely manner. We finished early! The artists were so welcoming and a great presence to have around while we were getting ready. Andy and Liseth did my makeup and hair and they were OUTSTANDING! All of the women looked absolutely amazing and we are so glad we chose Updos For I Dos!

Working with Updos For I Dos for our wedding was a dream, from start to finish. They were always responsive and worked with me to make sure everything was all set for our big day! I felt comfortable with Jenn and Nichole from the start of our trial, and they were amazing on our wedding day with all of my girls! I couldn't imagine a better experience!

Your services made the day perfect!!! My hair and makeup were exactly what I wanted. 🙂 A lot of my bridesmaids are really picky about makeup as well and they all loved their makeup by Steffani. They said that this was the first time they actually liked their makeup being done! Working with Updos For I Dos was so easy. I did everything online and it was so quick and everyone was really responsive. I have experienced other bridal makeup and hair services before but I felt like yours was above the rest. I’m so glad I went with you.

"Tara and Suzy were an amazing team from Updos for I Dos. From the trial to the big day, they were both so positive, welcoming, and open to all of my ideas and suggestions. Suzy was very flexible when I decided to change my hairstyle on the morning of the wedding, and Tara was able to give natural-glam makeup for all of the ladies while highlighting their individual beauty. Tara and Suzy demonstrated mastery in their fields of beauty, and created looks that were perfect for everyone!"

Updos for I Dos is a class act hair and makeup company. From booking services and the initial hair and makeup trial to the day of the wedding, they always stayed on top of communication and made me feel special throughout the whole process. Special shout-out to Alex and Ashlie - I feel so lucky that they did my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Not only did they do an amazing job, but they have the best personalities and really made us all feel comfortable while having so much fun. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for the best and most talented hair and makeup artists.

This is the third time I’ve used Updos For I Dos and they were absolutely amazing!!!! The first two times I used them I was a bridesmaid, and most recently for my wedding. I wish I could have Steffani and Ashley F. by my side every day because they made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. I hate giving myself compliments, but I couldn’t stop doing it when I saw my hair and makeup lol. Do yourself a favor and hire them for your wedding!!! They are the best out there.

Updos For I Dos is the best when it comes to hair and makeup for your wedding day. Each stylist is so professional, clean, and experienced. They listened to exactly what I wanted and worked with me throughout to make sure I looked perfect for my wedding. Thank you!

Liseth did such a great job with my hair on my wedding day, and I’m so happy I went with Updos For I Dos!! She was able to execute my vision perfectly. Despite getting my hair done early in the morning, my curls held throughout the day and late into the night!! She was also able to flawlessly execute a wide range of hairstyles for my bridesmaids, allowing everyone to feel beautiful that day. If I could do it again, I would definitely make the same decision and choose Liseth for my big day.

Updos For I Dos was recommended by a friend and I am so happy I booked with them! The company was responsive to all my emails/questions. Ashlie and Jennifer did my hair and makeup along with my 8 bridesmaids and moms. Everyone looked BEAUTIFUL. Jennifer was able to look at a picture and re-create the exact same look. Ashlie listened to exactly what I wanted for make-up. This duo made me feel like the most beautiful bride!

I loved working with Updos For I Dos! Andy was the makeup artist for me and my bridal party and he was amazing! This is the second time I’ve worked with Andy and he always amazes me! He was so personable and fun to have around while getting ready! I 10000% recommend using him and the company!

Thank you so much to Updos for I Dos for helping me on my special day. Ashley, my hairdresser, and Steffani, my makeup artist were super wonderful and kind! Ashley did her magic on my hair and made me feel like a princess. Stefanie is very knowledgeable when it comes to makeup and gave me an extra sparkle that wowed my husband! I would definitely recommend the services this team provides to any future bride. Thank you for making my day magical and special!

Updos for I Dos was such an incredible vendor to work with. They did such an amazing job getting myself, Mom, MIL, and eleven bridesmaids ready with plenty of time to spare. Their artists are so kind and friendly to work with. I absolutely love the way my hair and makeup came out and I would recommend them to any bride - you will not be disappointed! Even more thoughtful, they sent a little care package prior to the wedding with elastics and chapstick - such a thoughtful touch!

Everyone's hair and makeup looked absolutely incredible. Additionally, they consistently asked for feedback and were extremely receptive to minor tweaks and changes. This was incredibly useful during my trial when I was figuring out what I wanted and liked. Additionally, the Updos for I Dos team was extremely responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend this rockstar team of professionals to any bride!

From the start, they were all very friendly and very focused on making sure that both the hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids looked exactly how we all wanted. All of the stylists and MUA's that I interacted with were extremely receptive to feedback and very willing to make changes to suit what I wanted. When my original hairstylist was sick and couldn't make it on the wedding day, they immediately found me two backup hairstylists who also did a great job.

Updo’s For I Do’s was absolutely amazing. From the beginning, Ashley was always extremely quick to respond and answer all my questions. We had Haley as our hairstylist and she worked magic on all of our hair. I have extremely thick hair and wanted all my hair up, I couldn’t believe it lasted all night even through all the dancing!

I used Updos for I Dos for my wedding and am so glad I did! They stuck with us through two years of postponements and were incredibly easy to communicate with. Even though my trial ended up being two years before the wedding date (thank you covid!), I was able to send updated pictures and alterations. Liseth arrived on time, put up with our stories and banter all morning, and completely knocked my hairstyle out of the park! So many compliments the entire day and... it held the whole night! My hair is LONG and THICK and she came prepared. Couldn't recommend more!

Darika
I am so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out and held up throughout the entirety of a long day! All of the bridesmaids and my mother also looked beautiful. Our hair looks so good in all of the photos that I've so far seen! The team we had was so friendly and fun to get ready with. I will be certain to recommend UpDos to my friends who get engaged in the area!

Updos for I Dos was amazing! We got the certainty and backing of a company while getting the personalization of an individual stylist. Our stylist, Alaina, was incredibly detailed and thorough, managing my unruly curly hair and all my bridesmaids' incredibly thick and curly hair into gorgeous Updos!
