Cost of hair/makeup artist?

What are reasonable prices for hair/makeup for a destination wedding. I got a quote from the best and most highly recommended in the area we are getting married - $850, for hair/makeup trial, hair/makeup day of wedding, 2 hrs to stick around in case I need any touch ups for photos, eyebrow threading...

What are reasonable prices for hair/makeup for a destination wedding. I got a quote from the best and most highly recommended in the area we are getting married - $850, for hair/makeup trial, hair/makeup day of wedding, 2 hrs to stick around in case I need any touch ups for photos, eyebrow threading & upper lip threading (I think is included at no additional price), eyelash extensions and travel fee. She just raised her prices and I just can't fathom spending almost $1k for hair and makeup. Anyone else have opinions on this cost?

    I live in Las Vegas. 7 girls in total (including myself) are getting our hair and makeup done all for $1,260. This does not include tip, and they do not charge a travel fee. Traditional makeup with lashes. I am thinking of doing a trial for at least myself since I am the bride.

    For all the services that the girl seems to be doing seems reasonable! Check to see if there is another vendor who is doing similar services, but at a lower price. Of course check with the reviews as well.

    I always hear that airbrush is the best. However, there are makeup artists there who can make traditional makeup look like it was airbrushed. My cousin did my makeup for my 18th birthday years ago (traditional), and people thought that I got airbrushed. She made that makeup stay on REALLY well for more than 8 hours too.

    But if your doing destination maybe that’s why because its travel fee too. I would ask if that is why so much. That’s a lot . Makeup washes off no one should charge that much. no way.

    I’ve been quoted between 90-250 for each. I hate the MUA’s I’ve found. I feel they just arent very good so im opting to do it myself.

    Does the airbrush hide blemishes well?
