Our Diamond tier is the bride who has to have the best we can possibly offer. We thought extensively about what we could possibly do to improve on our Platinum tier and this is what we came up with: one of our Team Leads will be your beauty assistant and stay with you for your entire wedding, as long as you need. On top of helping you with touch ups, our Team Lead will provide the bride with a second complete hair style/redo at your request in case you want to change up your hair style during your wedding (like between your ceremony and reception for example). Also, we will include a third pre-wedding hair & makeup styling for your bridal portrait.

Charlotte mornings can shift quickly once vendor arrivals, valet queues, and elevator access start stacking, especially near Uptown and South End. At Duke Mansion, The Mint Museum Uptown, The Ballantyne, and The McGill Rose Garden, we set a quiet on-site station that respects the space and keeps the room feeling unhurried. Summer humidity and pop-up storms can challenge hold during outdoor portraits, so we choose products and pinning that stay steady under heat. If your getting-ready location is along Tryon Street or close to the light rail, we build buffer time for loading, parking, and room transitions. We keep chair turns clean and consistent so your photographer can capture detail shots without a cluttered background.

Updo’s Studio provides luxury on-site wedding hair and makeup in Charlotte, NC for brides and bridal parties. For Charlotte wedding hair and makeup, we prioritize longevity that still looks soft in close-up, whether you want a sleek bun or soft waves. Complexion work can stay soft matte or luminous, based on ceremony light and reception pacing. We align the order of services to your ceremony time, first look, and portrait locations like Romare Bearden Park or shaded garden paths. For celebrations spanning Uptown and Plaza Midwood, we build small touch-up moments before you step out for portraits. Before you head to the ceremony, we finish with flyaway control and a final check for veil and accessories, then keep the morning moving calmly.

FAQs

Our VIP Experience comes with so many perks. We know it also comes with some questions though, so here are a few answers to some frequently asked questions.

Q: Do you travel on-site for Charlotte, NC venues and hotels?

A: Yes, we provide on-site service across Charlotte venues, hotels, and private residences. We confirm parking, loading, and access details early.

Q: When should I book a preview for my Charlotte wedding?

A: A preview sets your hair and makeup direction and helps finalize accessories. Schedule it 8 to 12 weeks out, typically in-studio, or when you are already in the area.

Q: How long does wedding-day hair and makeup take?

A: We plan around ceremony time, photos, and party size to set the start. We send an appropriate number of artists so most parties finish in roughly three hours.

Q: How many people can you style on-site in one morning?

A: We scale the team to your headcount and desired finish time. Large parties stay smooth with staggered starts and clear rotations.

Q: Will my look last in Charlotte heat and humidity?

A: We choose hold and complexion finishes for humidity, wind, and outdoor portraits. Expect smart setting and quick touch-ups before leaving.

Q: What does a beauty assistant do on the wedding day?

A: They manage touch-ups, veil placement, and accessory checks for camera-ready details. They also reset stations and keep tools moving between artists.
