How much did you spend?

Emily, on June 20, 2018 at 10:06 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 32
I just got a quote on my hair and makeup and it'll be about $160 for both and that seems reasonable to me, but my FMIL said it seemed like a bit much.

This cost includes travel to the venue as well. So I'm just wondering what you all paid for your hair and makeup. Smiley smile

    That's a great rate. For bridal hair and makeup (in Denver) the lowest quote I got was $150, and the highest was $260 and that didn't include travel. I contacted around 20 artists.

    Mine will be 150. And yeah. I didn’t tell my mom this. According to her everything about my wedding is “a bit much”. I find that parents don’t really understand that things just cost more today.

    That is a great price! I am going to the salon and mine is $175 (I thought that was a good price!).

    This is all dependent on where you live. I personally think that's a great deal, seeing as my hair and makeup will cost me $135 each, so roughly $300 total (tip-included).

    My hair and make up will be $180 for the wedding day, not including travel or the trial. I think $160 including travel is a good deal! That’s pretty standard, from what I’ve found in my search for a HMUA, you can let your FMIL know that! Wedding hair and makeup is so much more expensive than it is for a normal event, because they work hard to make you look perfect.

    That sounds like a great deal to me! I guess it may depend a bit on where you live but I would jump at that if I could find it and their work was good!

    That is a great price! I paid $200 for makeup (no travel because she lived in the town over), $180 for hair plus $80 travel fee.

    In Northern Virginia, just outside of DC, I’m paying $175 for hair and then $175 for make up so I think you got a great price! Rates are really going to vary based on location and level of stylists experience.

    I'm in central florida, right between Tampa and Orlando, so I'm thinking this is probably a great deal. I forgot to mention that the price also includes the hair trial and the makeup trial is only $30 extra. Thank you all for your feedback! It really helped. 😊

    That doesn’t seem like very much at all! One of my bridesmaids is a cosmetologist so she’s doing mine for free (yay) but she said she and the other people in her salon usually get payed several hundred for wedding hair/makeup so you’re definitely getting a good deal.

    I'm getting married in a smaller town, but just for bridal makeup I'm paying $75 for me. They are also traveling to the church to get us ready.

    Sounds like a good deal to me, mine will be around $160 a person for hair and make up plus I'm paying around $250 in travel fees.

    Mine was around $300 for hair and makeup. I forget exactly because all I remember is the total and I paid for my bridesmaids as well.

    I'm spending $420 for both of mine! But mine includes a complimentary trial for hair and makeup, a blow out for the rehearsal and makeup for the rehearsal dinner, my wedding day hair and makeup, and a 20% tip.

    That's actually pretty low. That's what I'm paying for my HMUA and she doesn't advertise as a wedding professional, she's just my normal hairdresser and knows my hair well.

    The other artists I contacted wanted around $80 PER PERSON with a 6 person minimum and it did not include travel costs or the trial.

    Mine was $225 my MOH and MOB/MOG paid $165 for hair and makeup (we covered them all).

    I thought it was fine, that's the average I paid when on someone else's wedding.
