    Perfect day!

    I just got married on September 18 , 2021 on Houghton Lake. I absolutely loved my hair and my make up and so did my bridesmaids. The stylists were so friendly and thorough and you could tell that they loved their jobs! Trisha and Mariah did my hair and make up and I would 10/10 recommend.

    Amazing team!

    Dawn's team does an INCREDIBLE job. I am a wedding planner in the area and Up North Perfection was my first choice. They are so accommodating and came right out to my house which was so convenient for the girls. I cannot thank them enough. I LOVED my hair. I highly recommend them.

    I cannot say enough about Dawn and her stylists at Up North Perfection. Once I booked her company for my wedding, I immediately felt at ease. Dawn was able to put together a team of four women that were willing to travel to my bridal suite the morning of my wedding and style 8 bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, and me. Meg styled my hair and airbrushed my makeup, and I could not have been more pleased with the results. She considered my wishes for my look and thoughtfully constructed a style that reflected the theme of my dress and veil, all the while managing to create a look that was classic yet modern with her own unique styling flair. From my hair and makeup trial one month before the wedding, I was confident that Meg would be able to make the experience fun and relaxed. When the big day arrived, each bridesmaid could provide their personal preference of hairstyle and makeup choices and each stylist delivered perfectly. Not to mention, they were amazing on their time management and got everyone beautified way before expected. The morning of the wedding day can be hectic and nerve-wracking, however, Up North Perfection made my experience just the opposite. I highly recommend them for any bride that is looking for a hair and makeup company for their wedding! You will be in good hands. Thanks again for making my dream wedding come true, ladies!

    What an incredible job! Dawn is GREAT, super communicative and contracts the women out. The ladies who came to do hair and makeup were incredible. They were so friendly, easy to talk to and hang out with, super efficient, and made sure that you were happy with their work. All of my bridesmaids looked stunning and my make up (hair was done by my matron of honor) was BEAUTIFUL. It wasn't too much or appeared to be caked on, it was truly flawless. I have gotten so many compliments on how great my make up was. I HIGHLY recommend this company if you're anywhere, up north or downstate. Their prices are great and the travel fee is small. You will love the company for your big day :).

    I am SO behind with my reviews but promise it's not because they were less than stellar. I got married 09.30.17 at Harbor Lights Resort in Frankfort. Being that I was doing so much of my own decor and becoming a step mom to 2 girls, it was important to me to have a full service salon come to me. I reveived a call about 45 minutes out to let me know they were on their way which was reassuring for once that I did not have to follow up on a vendor! I came racing in from the beach, still needing to shower and right away Meg and Mary put me at ease. "We are good, take a shower, breathe." I will also mention we are all from the Metro Detroit area and I had not done any trials but I had shared my one picture with Dawn and knew through a few emails I would be well taken care of. Mary did everyone's makeup natural elegance even including my 11 year old step daughter. Meg was a gem with all of us girls that showed a picture and 20 minutes later hair magic! Even was easy going with the few of us that changed AFTER she was done and needed parts done a different direction. They are priced perfect for their services and attention to detail. I loved that I kept my business local and small. I highly recommend Up North Perfection for any occasion. They are what their name says, PERFECTION!

    July 13thn Marble Wedding

    Dawn and her staff were very kind and helpful. I met with them before for a hair and makeup trial. They were very open to suggestions and wanted me to feel comfortable with my style for my wedding day. I was so nice that they cam to me the day of the wedding. It allowed me to relax and spend time with my mom and bridesmaids. They were very attentive. I would recommend!

    Up North Perfection's reply:

    thank you Katie! We enjoyed working with you and your girls as well. Everyone looked beautiful I am sure it was a blessed day! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it

    I was not the bride, but the MOH for the wedding on 6/10/17. For the price paid, I would have expected better. Lots of problems with the fake eyelashes. One of my lashes fell off right before I walked down the aisle so one of my eyes looked like it had no makeup on in the church and for all of the pictures. Very upsetting. Bride also had issues with lashes, had to get them re done. Everyone else's lashes were off after an hour. I've worn fake lashes many times, never had issues. There were 2 girls doing hair, one girl was great, the other one was worthless. Everyone who got their hair done by the not so great girl, ended up just doing it themselves. She didn't know how to do a simple braid. Lot of money wasted.

    Up North Perfection's reply:

    Kristen, thank you for your feedback. We do count on feedback the day of to get the girls' hair how they would like it. Typically it is an easy fix, if it is communicated.
    As far as the lashes, I apologize ... We do at least 4+ lashes on all of our 100+ weddings every year and I have never struggled like we did that day! It was embarrassing to us as well. I did give a tube of lash glue just in case anyone's came free, just in case. We shouldn't have to do that, but I wanted to know the girls were set should there be a problem. I did discover it was a bad bottle of glue. I switched glue on anyone's I fixed at the end and those were secure. I would be happy to refund anyone's lashes that did not adhere well. Please contact me at upnorhtperfection@gmail.com We hope you had a gorgeous day, as everyone looked beautiful!

    Dawn, Contracts out ladies from the area to come to your location and do hair & make-up... I was so nervous because they didn't have any reviews...
    Her prices are very reasonable... I had my trial with Meg & fell in love ; She is so nice & made me feel so beautiful, I was ready to walk down the aisle right then and there, I was so excited! :)

    HOWEVER, when it came to my wedding I was let down. Meg showed up and began working immediately, the 2 other girls were late and had to rush to get thru everyone... My hair was done by Meg again but unlike at my hair trial it was not curled and did not get product put in it due to lack of time so my hair was frizzy and did not look like I had hoped. My flower girl wanted a bun and the other hair stylist did it and it looked awful. Meg had to re do it while I was getting my make up done. The make up artist did great but she was also late.
    The worst part was they left before they put my veil in and we didn't know how, it came out twice while walking down the aisle which was a true embarrassment.
    I was never contacted by Dawn the owner after to see how everthing went.
    I wouldn't recommend this business.

    Up North Perfection's reply:

    Michelle, thank you for your feedback. I do want to assure you we have made some staffing changes this summer, and I apologize one of the technicians was unable to give the style you wanted for your flowergirl. Our make up artist do not always come at the same time as the hairstylists- they work on a different timeline. Meg did offer to put the veil in, but at the time she did your hair you said you were going to get dressed etc. and no one approached her again before she left. We always either put it in or show someone how to- We're happy you gave us the opportunity to be a part of your special day and everyone looked beautiful! Thank you again for your feedback, we truly do appreciate it.

    My wedding was on June 10th 2017. I truly have mixed reviews about Up North Perfection. I scheduled a hair trial in March before my wedding. When I showed up the girl that was scheduled did not show up. I understand she recently had a baby but I thought it was unprofessional. I traveled from Cincinnati to Traverse city for this hair trial (7 hours). Dawn very kindly stopped her day and did my trial. There was also a little confusion on the time they were going to be there on my wedding day and confusion with the address. I felt like I was blamed for that. I had seven bridesmaids and myself getting hair and makeup done. A HUGE problem we had was one of the girls that was doing hair had NO IDEA how to do a braid. Braids are a very common style for bridesmaids and she was unable to do any braid. She was very unfriendly to my girls. She told one of my bridesmaids that she could not curl her hair. Another issue was that the girl that was going to do my hair ended up doing my hair last which I hoped that they would have orchestrated that better. I didnt know that it was going to take an hour to do my hair. They went over 45 minutes of when I wanted to be done with hair. This caused me major anxiety and stress. However the other girls including Dawn were very great to work at the time. My hair ended up looking fantastic I was very happy with it. I was conflicted on writing this review but I wanted to inform other brides of my experience.

    Up North Perfection's reply:

    Jessica, I am so sorry you were stressed on your wedding day, this should not have happened. We send more than one girl to weddings so that between them they can accomplish the look the girls are wanting, which we were able to do. Some people excel at different things and are working on others, I stress teamwork :-) The address on the contract was wrong, but it is what it is and its no one's fault -Sorry if you felt like we were blaming you. We got there after calling your husband and that's the important part! Yeah! You certainly were a beautiful bride and we are so grateful to be a part of your special day!
