Make up and hair

Miune is -

Makeup.. £45 trial + £65 on the day

Hair.. £80 clip in extensions + £40 for trial and on the day up-do

so overall.. £230 for me!

Trickers, my love, were they local (ie Reading) types? Am struggling to find someone out that way and would desperately love a recommendation.

We've actually been quite shocked at how ridiculously expensive all this stuff is. It seems to be just another overpriced wedding expense that people can get away with?

Thank you, I shall google them.

Thank you both x

This isn't going to be much help, but......

I'm paying 650,00 IDR for the trial and 1,200,000 IDR on the day. It works out at about £47 for the trial and £85 on the day - that's for both hair and makeup. The people that my planners recommended wanted £90 for the trial and £120 on the day (again, for both hair and makeup). I thought that was quite expensive, but it looks like it was pretty fair having read this thread. Ooops!

Luckily I have two friends who will be helping me get ready. One is a make up artist (for films and tv) and the other is a hairdresser and they're making me look bootiful for free!

I would quite happily pay that amount for a hairdresser and make up artist if I had to - I want to feel pampered on my wedding day and I want to look at my best.

I thought that. One hair & make-up artist whose price list I looked at was quoting £80 for special occasion hair and make up, but then £180 for bridal not including trial! I simply can't understand £100 mark up just because its for a wedding!

I think my b2b looks her best without makeup actually - she doesn't wear it much anyway except for special occasions and even then it might only be a bit of eyeshadow and lipstick.

I am paying £290 for my make up trial and make up on the day, make up and hair trial for my 2 BMs and make up and hair on the day and my mums make up trial and on the day. I will have one make up artist and one hairdresser for a whole day so i think it is pretty good value for money. I got bigger and bigger discounts the more people I added in.

That's a really good deal!

Mine is £180 trials + on the day hair & make-up.

I know Beck im pretty impressed too actually that is an understatement when the quote came in i squeeled and then accepted it before she changed her mind.
