Tipping on Makeup and Hair Trial

Crisdrew, on May 13, 2021 at 10:44 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 7
Hello,


My awesome makeup artist included the hair and makeup trial as part of the main package and I am not sure if I have to tip her when I go for the trial. I will for sure tip the day of the wedding since that day I will pay the rest of the bill. If I have to tip, how much do I give her? Note: I am paying for everybody in my bridal party so my final amount is pretty big and I can’t tip 20/25% of that total twice.

    I’d definitely tip for the trial—20% of just your services.

    I was in a similar situation: the trial cost was built into my total makeup package. What I did was I asked my makeup artist how much she usually charges for just trials alone, and I tipped 20% of that for the trial. Then for the actual makeup the day of (I also paid for my bridesmaids and the moms) I tipped 20% of the total bill. We had separate vendors for makeup and hair, and I did the same for each

    If she went above and beyond for you, one tip is plenty.

    This was my experience as well for my makeup trial. I had to ask what she would normally charge for just a trial alone, and I tipped 20% of that amount. When the actual wedding day comes, I'm planning to tip 20% of the whole amount
