Hair and Makeup costs?!

Ashley, on September 5, 2019 at 3:42 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 8
Hi! I am trying to get a better idea of the usual costs of hair/makeup for my bridal party and I. I am seeing $150 trials, $150 hair, $150 makeup, and $45 for extensions (I am using my own and having her put them in). Does this seem normal?? I also do not want to keep spending on trials - does anyone have suggestions?! ahhhhh!

    I'm in Denver (just for reference). I paid $80 for my trial. $240 for day of bridal makeup and hair, $140 for bridesmaids & moms makeup and hair, $40 for travel, $200 per additional artist (past 2 - I needed 4 for everyone), and tip. She didn't charge extra for putting in and styling my clip in extensions.

    Prices will vary depending on the area. I live near Cincinnati and I'm paying $150 per service for my hair and makeup, $100 per service for my trials, and $80 per service for each bridesmaid. I booked my HMUA before doing a trial, as have most brides that I know. If you've seen their work and read their reviews, you should know before signing a contract that they do quality work, the trial is just to perfect your specific look.

    So, I’m out in Virginia. My HAMUA (two separate ladies) are in Charlottesville and they charge $85 each for a hair and makeup trial. It’s $150 each for hair and makeup on my wedding day and $85 each for hair and makeup for bridesmaids, MOG/MOB, etc.

    Mine is $240 for myself, $160 for bridesmaids and $80 for moms, plus a $100 travel fee. Trial was included after I paid my deposit.

    I’m a hair stylist and I run a specific bridal business... it’s literally all I do, and seeing these prices I now feel I’m being way to generous with my pricing!!! Haha!! I’m in the Raleigh, NC area and my prices vary by bride. But I don’t charge anywhere near that amount for most people.
