What are you paying for hair and makeup?

So I totally realize this is largely influenced by location. However I have seen a wide range just in my area. I am crazy picky when it comes to hair so I definitely see a huge difference in skill between the girl who quoted me $65 for day of and $65 trial vs the girl who quoted me $175 (trial included). I will end up paying my hair girl $250 + tip after the travel fee. And while I feel that’s outrageous, I also feel it’s worth it to be confident my hair will be exactly what I want it to be. Also she’s traveling almost an hour to me. So totally worth it.

Makeup has me thrown though. I used to do hair professionally so I know at least a little bit about what’s good and what’s not. Makeup is a totally different story. I have a local girl quoting me $45 (including travel and fake lashes) and her stuff is good. Then I have another girl in mind that it $55 according to her site but I don’t know what that includes or what her travel fee is. Her stuff is amazing. But I can’t decide if the difference is worth the (probably) doubled price when I’m already paying a lot for hair. Thoughts?

What are you paying for each? And what determined your decision? Needing to save money? Wanting to look flawless?
