Hello all! I am hoping I can get some guidance. To preface: I consider myself to be pretty talented at hair and have done all my hair for events in the past (I am pretty picky), but I have decided I really want to have my hair done for my wedding because I feel far to stressful to deal with that day and 2 I wanted to give my bridesmaids the option to have their hair done if they wished. My wedding is in June, and I am getting married roughly an hour away from where I live.
I found a hair and makeup who lives fairly close to the wedding venue. I’ve gone through her portfolio on social media and I LOVE her hair work, but she did not have much makeup pictures posted. $75 per bridesmaids I spoke with one of my bridesmaids and she seemed to think this price was really really high.
I found a second artist whose makeup work I really love, although I was not as impressed with their hair styling. Hair styling for this person was priced at $55; however, they are from my home town so there will be a travel charge.
My questions:
1. Is $75 considered to be too pricey for bridesmaids hair? (I’m not requiring they get hair done)
2. Did you use trials to decide on your artist? Or between artists? (This is where I really need help. I’ve heard you are supposed to do a trial 4 months in advance so that it is still recent in the memory . My wedding is a good while away, but I feel like I need do have my stylist booked before then. )
3. Did you do your trial before or after signing a contract/paid deposit?
4. If you did a trial to decide between artists, did you do another closer to your actual wedding date?
