what are your hair and makeup prices?

Elixia, 4 September, 2013 at 15:46 Posted on Planning 0 14

I've been quoted £255 for hair and makeup for (including trails) and makeup for 3 bridesmaids and my mum.

As you may remember I was gonna DIY my makeup but that price is the lower I've seen, and it would be nice to treat the girls on the day. especially since they're getting their own shoes, clutches, 'bling' (even thou I'm getting them a necklace as a present) One even bought her own dress last Friday since she saw it on sale at John Lewis and nabbed it! I was originally enquiring about hair prices but talking lead to this quote.

What do you think? I should I take it? Things are going over budget as it is now Smiley atonished buuuuuuuuut I did get a payrise and had thought to open up my purse a little more ...

    Hi,

    I am paying £40 for makeup and £90 for hair, including trials. My bridesmaids will be £30 each for hair on the day and are doing their own makeup.

    I am really looking forward to being pampered on the day!

    I shot for someone whose base price was pretty high, but I negotiated hard and it was £250 for no trial, 3 BMs hair & make-up, Bride hair & make-up.

    Seems reasonable to me, mine is £200 for make up for me plus 3 others inc trial for me and £250 for hair for me and 4 others - that does include them both travelling to my venue too where I'm getting ready.

    Hair for me is £40 and £35 for bridesmaids ×3 plus £15 per trial = £205

    Make up is £30 each with trials at £20 = 200

    Dammit, thought id done really well with the hair and makeup prices so I would definitely say your quote is a good un.

    Am having such a nightmare with hair and makeup. No one wants to reply to my emails or seems to respond when I fill out their own contact forms. Anyone recommend a good Hair and MA artist working in the Kent area?

    So my hair and makeup (airbrush) trial was 90, my hair and makeup on the day is 200, the bridesmaids hair is 40 each (x3) and their makeup is 45 each, although they are paying for the makeup themselves, my mums hair and makeup is free as a bonus offer for booking 3 bridesmaids... but yeah, pretty pricey overall...!

    My hair including trial is £45

    my 3 bridesmaids are £20 each (one had a trial in her normal cut and dry session so they included that in the price!)

    Ive just had a quote for make up for £120 each for me and my mum, this includes a trial and £55 for bridesmaids. Her photos look amazing, but I think the photos are airbrushed by a professional photographer (their skin is completely smooth) Other quote Ive had £150 for my make up and trial and £50 for bridesmaids and my mum. I will defo be looking around for better prices after seeing yours!

    My makeup is free. H2B aunty is doing mine - she's a make-up artist and does all the brides at the beauty salon she works at. Hair might be free too if her best friend is off that day, if not i think it'll be about £40 or i may even do it myself. I only want my hair down and curled - i'm pretty good at curling my hair anyway.
