Separate Hair and Makeup Person?

Hello all! Need Feedback!

I'm trying to hire one hair/makeup person for myself, 2 bridesmaids and possibly 2 moms.

My Ceremony is at 4pm and I need to get to Westbury Gardens by 1pm. How much time should I allocate beforehand for makeup for me and 4 other ppl. Is 1 person enough? How long does it take for a bride? 1-2 hours? What about bridesmaids.

My Bridesmaids will have makeup and very simple hairstyles, down with waves and maybe some of the hair up. The moms and myself will have updos.

Do I need to hire another person? I rather not, but the timing is stressing me out. THe RH said I can go there at 10am to get ready, but not sure if that's enough time!

i was recently a bridesmaid ..each person it took 1 hour for make up and 1 hour for hair. so if u have 1 person doing both that might not work. we went to a salon and ended up have a make up person and a hair person and there were only two bridesmaids there so when one had hair being done the other was getting makeup done and then switched. it also only took the bride one hour hair and 1 hour makeup. she came an hour before us and then went to another place for makeup.

It would probably be better to find a make-up/hair artist you like and ask them how much time they need to do that many people and if they can do that many.
