How much does wedding hair and makeup cost?

You definitely want to look your best on your wedding day to slay those wedding photos—so be sure to entrust your hair and makeup to the professionals! Of course, you’ll have to pay to have your hair and makeup done, but it is certainly worth it. The average wedding hair and makeup cost in the U.S. is around $300, but typically ranges from $150 to $600 depending on both your location and the intricacy of the wedding hair or makeup style you’d like.

$ 75 or less Lower range
$ 350 Average cost
$ 177 - $ 665 Most couples spend between
$ 1,000 or more Upper range

Costs displayed are based on spend from thousands of couples who recently reported pricing for this service within their WeddingWire review. Pricing varies based on factors including, but not limited to, vendor’s experience, level of expertise, event guest count, date, and geographic region.

What is included in the price of a bridal hair and makeup package?

In general, your wedding hair and makeup cost will include your stylist’s or makeup artist’s time on your wedding day. Most hair and makeup pros charge by the hour, so the longer you need your hair stylist and makeup artist to be present during your wedding, the more you’ll pay. Also know that for hair stylists, wedding updos tend to cost more than blowouts—in fact, the average cost of a bridal updo is $100 and the average cost of a simpler blowout is $55. When it comes to makeup, airbrush makeup typically comes with a higher price tag than traditional application. The average cost of airbrush makeup is $115 while the average cost of traditional makeup is $100. Some pros include a hair or makeup trial in their bridal makeup prices or wedding hair prices, but some do charge extra.

How far in advance should I book my hair and makeup artist?

We recommend booking your wedding hair stylist and makeup artist at least three months before your wedding. Start by reading online reviews of beauty pros near your wedding location, and then reach out to a few to find out availability and pricing. You may want to interview several wedding hair stylists and makeup artists to find someone you’re comfortable with, and whose style and vision matches yours.

Are there any add-on costs for wedding hair and makeup?

Depending on your style, needs, and budget, there are many different possible add-ons to bridal makeup packages or to your wedding hair cost. A few examples:

Extra services: There are certain makeup techniques and styles that might add dollars to your bridal makeup cost. For example, false lashes may cost extra, as can airbrush makeup. When choosing your wedding-day makeup style, be sure to factor in these additional costs.
Travel: If your wedding hair and makeup pros work out of a salon, you may have to pay extra for them to travel to your wedding location. And if it’s an especially long distance, you may have to pay even more for mileage.
Additional people: If you’re planning on having your hair stylist or makeup artist also provide services to your bridesmaids, mom, etc., you’ll have to pay more. Your hair stylist or makeup artist may choose to bring an assistant to help speed things along on your wedding day—another add-on to your wedding makeup cost or wedding hair cost.
Additional hours/touch-ups: Want your hair stylist or makeup artist to be on hand at different times throughout your wedding day to provide touch-ups or even a new ‘do for your reception? The more time you have your beauty pros on hand, the more you’ll pay for your wedding hair and wedding makeup prices.
Trial: As mentioned, many wedding hair stylists and makeup artists charge extra for a trial run.
Tips: Many couples forget to factor tips into their wedding-day budget. We recommend tipping your hair stylist and makeup artist as though it was a regular appointment—15 to 20 percent of the total cost for each professional.

What are wedding hair and makeup trials? And how much do they cost?

A wedding hair and/or makeup trial allows you to meet with your hair or beauty pro a few months before your wedding, and see how exactly your hair and makeup will look on your wedding day. You can also make any tweaks or adjustments if necessary. If your hair stylist or makeup artist charges extra for a trial, the average cost is $75 per service.

How much does bridesmaid makeup cost?

It’s a good idea to have your bridesmaids’ makeup professionally done—they’ll feel more confident and look even better in photos! The average wedding makeup cost for bridesmaids is $75 per service.

I booked The Bridal Beauty Team for my wedding in Milwaukee. From the start they were great to work with. They were always quick to respond and adressed every concern I had. My mom can't use most make-up and we were concerned she'd have a reaction if she used their make-up but I was told they'd do her make-up with her own stuff since she has prescription skin care items. We had Heather for hair (and my make-up) and Myriam for make-up. Everyone had a blast and everyone looked AMAZING! The hair and make-up lasted ALL NIGHT which I was super impressed with. Even at midnight our hair and make-up was looking fresh. If you need someone for hair / make-up for a wedding please do yourself a favor and book them NOW!

She is an incredibly talented artist and a true professional. Doing a pre-wedding trial with her was an excellent choice: we got to play with different ideas and the experience gave me confidence in knowing how my wedding day makeup would look. I felt beautiful in my makeup, received several compliments from others on my makeup specifically, and she knocked it out of the park with for my mom, aunt, and sister too. I’d work with Sandy again and again and again!

Katie and Jeanette from Anomalie Beauty did an amazing job with styling mine and my bridal parties hair for my wedding day. We were all so happy with each of our styles and they held up throughout the whole entire day. They each went above and beyond inspo pics shared with them and they were both so accommodating to make sure everyone loved their style. Couldn't have asked for more talented hair stylists to make us all look and feel our best for my special day! The booking process was also seamless with Anomalie and Colette was very responsive with any questions I had! Couldn't recommend Anomalie more!!

I couldn’t have been happier with my bridal hair and makeup! Leyli did an absolutely incredible job – everything looked flawless and lasted perfectly all day and night. I received endless compliments from our guests; it’s so common for the focus to be all on the dress, but people were genuinely just as blown away by the hair and makeup! Beyond her talent, Leyli was such a joy to work with. She was honest, thoughtful, and truly collaborative – if I wanted to tweak something, she welcomed the feedback with enthusiasm. I never once felt nervous to speak up because it was so clear she genuinely wanted me to look and feel my absolute best. I can’t recommend her enough. She made me feel so confident and beautiful on one of the most important days of my life, and I’m endlessly grateful for that. Cassie also did an amazing job on my bridal party’s hair and makeup – everyone looked stunning! It’s clear that Erin Smith Beauty Creations carefully curates a talented and professional team.

Our makeup team was experienced, friendly, and incredibly professional. We were beyond happy with how our makeup turned out — it looked fresh, natural, and beautiful, and it lasted all the way through the end of the night. We brought inspiration pictures and they were able to seamlessly bring our vision to life. Everyone felt confident and comfortable, and the team created a calm, positive environment while getting ready. We received so many compliments, and we couldn’t recommend them more.

I had an amazing experience with Elle Artistry. Me, my bridesmaids, and my mother had hair and makeup done for my wedding and everybody looked STUNNING. My hair and makeup was absolutely gorgeous and even better than what I had envisioned. My stylists for my look were Katie and Brittany and they were truly incredible. On top of everybody looking amazing, the whole process went without a hitch. Scheduling was easy and any questions and concerns that I had were immediately addressed. I could not have asked for a better beauty team for my wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend Elle Artistry.

Review from my wife - Audrey did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and she was wonderful! I know absolutely nothing about hairstyling or makeup and she was so helpful and patient, both during the preview and the day of the wedding. She was very responsive to inquiries, and accommodating about my timeline and the fact that I was out of state. She is really knowledgeable, but also listened to find out what I was looking for and then was able to match that to what she thought would look good on me. The day of the wedding, she and Natasha were again really helpful and patient, which was great, as most of the party had little experience with formal hair and makeup. They also made getting ready more fun and less stressful. Everybody was ready on time and looked lovely! I would very much recommend Chicago Hair and Makeup Professionals, and I appreciated all their help!
