Hair/Makeup Question?

Does anybody have an average price I should expect to pay for hair and/or makeup? I have talked to 2 vendors and it seemed very expensive. Maybe I am underbudgeting for it, but I really don't know. Thanks for all of your help!!!

Re: Hair/Makeup Question?

I think you should budget about $200...that's probably on the low end, but what I am hoping to have to pay.

troll m/u counters at the mall to find freelance artists, they are usually cheaper than people you find on here. if you have a regular hair stylist, inquire if they do bridal hair at your salon, or if they can refer a friend.

Good luck

200-250 is what im sticking to

It will be cheaper if you are willing to go to the salon

Re: Hair/Makeup Question?

On average I think between trials and the actual day of around 400! It's a lot. Like another bride said, you'd save yourself a lot more money if you travel to the salon instead of having them go to you. My trial for airbrush alone is 55. For the day of 145 (I think). For hair around the same price. This of course is not including tip for both the trial and the day of. Good luck. I'm going to splurge in this department. Its a have to. I want to look like a queen on my day!!!
