Amazing experience!

Ciarrah and Kristin were amazing! Kristin was so kind and calm on the day of my wedding. This makes a HUGE difference, since it can be an overwhelming morning! She was able to get 8 girls hair done all by herself in a timely manner. Myself and all of my bridesmaids were so happy with our hair!

Ciarrah is incredibly organized and responds promptly to emails! She was so easy to communicate with.

Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend working with this amazing team!

The BEST hair and makeup team out there

I only have amazing things to say about Ciarrah and her team. They were flexible and communicative from the very start and made me feel welcomed and heard! Ciarrah, Megan and Amanda were so kind and easy to work with, and my hair and makeup was absolutely flawless on my wedding day. Both held up all day long, (and through a 6.5 hour flight across the country!) My bridemaids' hair and makeup was perfect too- all the artists were able to recreate looks based on pictures we showed and were open to any changes we wanted. I would work with the Beyond The Updo team again in a heartbeat! Anyone who works with them is making the best choice for their wedding/event- seriously, they are amazing.

High Quality and Fair Pricing!

I am so glad we booked with BTU for my wedding day. Ciarrah and her team were such a fun addition to the morning. They were professional, respectful, and did some incredible hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. They valued everyone’s requests for their hairstyles and makeup preferences and all my bridesmaids were in love with their styles. I highly recommend booking them for your wedding day. Everyone’s styles lasted the entire day (7am to 10pm) and I received so many compliments on my hair.
