Suggestions for Hair/makeup in central Nj?

Rachel, on February 11, 2020 at 8:07 PM Posted in New Jersey Planning 1 8

Hi all!
I am getting married on September 26 and in the process of going through hair & make up artists - and it's been disheartening because the prices here are just way beyond my budget. Does anyone have any suggestions on who I could reach out to for a decent price? Our church ceremony is at 3pm and we are hoping to take some pictures at Rutgers University after the ceremony (where we met, 10 mins from the church) before heading to our cocktail hour at 7pm (20 mins from Rutgers).

I'm just nervous about the timing in between the ceremony and reception and getting touched up before the cocktail hour starts - H/M will probably start around 11/11:30a and the quotes i've been getting for H&M just for me including a touch up before the cocktail hour ranges $1000+ Is this normal?? Appreciate all your time and input!

Rachel

    Download the thumbtack app they have hair and mua , photographers, dj , florist everything for very reasonable prices. You can see their work and read their reviews form clients with photos. That’s how I found mine.

    I’m sorry I don’t have any great suggestions because I did my own makeup, and for hair I just used a junior stylist at the salon I usually go to (maybe you could try finding someone like that?) but just wanted to say my husband and I also met at Rutgers 😍

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community, Rachel!

    If you’re looking for a cost-effective option and were happy to do your own touch-ups, would going to a beauty store such as Ulta or Sephora to get your makeup done work for you? It may be something to consider Smiley smile

    My makeup artist is out of Hamilton and her prices are great. She is the manager at the MAC store in Princeton Palmer's Square. Her IG is valsurpal. Contact her!
