I cannot say enough good things about Jill! She did my hair for my wedding, and she absolutely NAILED it. 🤍
I received SO many compliments throughout the entire night, and the best part? My hair held up until the next day! And I have 3C hair!!
After a full night of dancing, sweating, crying, and celebrating, it was STILL holding up beautifully. I took my extensions out before going to sleep, put my hair into a soft ponytail, and woke up with hair that was still nice enough to wear to brunch with my family the next day!
And Jill didn’t just work her magic on me, my friend’s hair never holds, and hers stayed beautifully styled through the entire night too. Dancing, sweating, crying… and it still held up!
I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Jill. She is incredibly talented, pays attention to every detail, and somehow creates hair that is not only beautiful but actually lasts.
I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, and I am so thankful Jill was part of it. If you’re a bride looking for a hairstylist, BOOK JILL! 🤍✨
Thank you, Jill, for making me feel so beautiful and for helping make my wedding morning so special! 🥹🤍

I had the best experience with " Upyourdo" for my wedding hair. My bridesmaids and I worked with Bonnie. She was so talented, professional, and truly brought my vision to life. My hair looked beautiful and stayed perfectly in place all day and night! She made the whole getting-ready experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who is talented, attentive, and amazing at what they do! 🤍✨

Jill at Up Your Do created the most gorgeous hairstyle for my winter wedding! I had a half up/half down with curls, and it was exactly what I envisioned. What's even more impress...
ive is that it held up flawlessly, even while we were taking pictures in the snow for a few hours. One of my bridesmaids originally had a half up/half down hairstyle done, but she later asked Jill if it was possible to put it all up. Jill was so accommodating and did a fantastic job not only on her hair, but all of my bridal party's hairstyles. I highly recommend Jill to anyone!

From the very beginning, she was orga...
nized, professional, and so easy to work with. She rearranged the schedule when I had last-minute changes. She listened carefully to what each of us wanted and we all were so happy.
My bridal hairstyle was everything I had dreamed of. She created the most beautiful, soft half-up style with gorgeous curls that felt timeless, elegant, and completely me. She incorporated my floral hair pieces perfectly, and the style stayed beautiful through a full day of photos, an outdoor ceremony in July, happy tears, and hours of dancing.
Beyond her incredible talent, she brought such a calm, positive energy to the morning. She is definitely someone who helps you feel relaxed and confident on one of the biggest days!
Thank you for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. I would recommend you to any bride without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

ed around with multiple styles and ended up adding extensions that I rented to create more volume for my all-down hairstyle. My wedding day was a breezy, warm August day but my hair lasted throughout photos and dancing while still keeping it soft! She listened to my thoughts/changes and worked with me until i felt 100% confident and happy with my look. Bonnie tackled 7 looks that day - mix of updos and down looks, and everyone was so happy with how it turned out! Jill was also incredibly responsive and easy to work with during the planning process. I would recommend Up Your Do and their salon partners Dylan Michael Cosmetics to any brides looking! Thanks Bonnie and Jill!

energy to the day, even when there was some chaos and last minute requests around us. Jill really listened to what each girl wanted and didn't try to make them something they're not. She was one of my absolute best hires of the wedding, and I'm recommending her to every friend of mine getting married! I'd been recommended to her by a friend, and I was skeptical why her prices were so much more affordable than some other places - price does NOT equal quality! Jill is THE BEST and just a joy to work with. Book book book!

I had the privilege to have Jill as my hair stylist on my wedding day. I could go on and on at how incredible my experience with her was. From booking to trial to day of, Jill was ...
professional and understanding. She worked with me on my trial day until I was perfectly happy with the results. When it came to day of she was punctual and so sweet. After she left, we realized we didn’t know how to put my veil in and she happily came back to show us. My girls loved her and her work and I’m positive that anyone from “Up your Do” would give you a similar experience. The ONLY thing that was a s struggle was that communication took a while in the beginning but even then I give 5 stars.

nd brought to life my vision of soft glam curls. I have curly, frizz prone hair so Dani had me monitor my trial hair all day. It was a July humid day and my hair began to frizz, which obviously made me nervous. But Dani was reassuring and confident - she now knew what to do and boy did she know! My hair looked AMAZING on wedding day and held all day and all night perfectly - it never moved despite me sweating in humidity and dancing my butt off. It has never looked better and never will. Dani made all my family and friends look and feel their best on wedding day. She was also perfectly on time. She is professional, calm, fun, funny, kind - she felt like just another one of the girls in the bridal suite. Dani, we love you, thank you!!!

We had specific requests and Jill listened carefully to our vision. Not only did our hair match our inspiration pictures perfectly, but they also suggested subtle enhancements that elevated the overall look without straying from what we wanted.

I can't recommend Jill enough for anyone planning a wedding. She turned our hair dreams into reality, making our special day even more memorable. Five stars all the way—worth every penny! If you're looking for precision and perfection, this is the place to go. 😊
