I think that is on the high side too. If you do do it make sure you go somewhere afterwards so at least you can get your moneys worth instead of just taking it out.

Re: is $75 a lot for a hair trial?

I am paying $65 so I don't think it is that much! Are you getting it done by a salon or is a person.

Re: is $75 a lot for a hair trial?

I paid that much and definitely felt that it was very high....I mean, it was a great trial, and that's how I'll wear my hair, but I was thinking my wedding hair-do would cost that much!

It depends is this going to be your only trial is this one of many--how much is it the day of? Sorry for all the questions--if this person has come highly recommended and you trust the recommendations then I would go for it..you never know you can go & love it and only have to pay $65 or you can not book it and shell out over $150 for 3 trials and hate them all & then have to book a trial w/ this person anyway. It is really your own personal preference.

she doesn't come 'highly recommended', but recommended by a few brides on here.

she charges $150 the day of.

I agree, I also thought it was high just for the trial but sometimes its worth it to pay a bit more so at least you'll book after 1 trial rather than spend $$ on dozens of them!! Try and look at pics of weddings/trials the artist has done before so at least you'll know if you like their work before booking a trial.

Re: is $75 a lot for a hair trial?

I think it's alot however, I paid 65 and will probably go for another trial as I want to use hair pieces. Please I am getting it done at a salon so the final day won't be much more than that. But defintely try to go out after and get your money's worth!

Re: is $75 a lot for a hair trial?

mine was a little steep to but it also included travel from queens! and she did it in the snow so i think she deserved it for coming all the way out to me in that horrible weather
