Average price for hair/makeup

Rachael, on August 11, 2016 at 11:32 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 15

I was wondering what is an average price for wedding hair and makeup. My hair gal quoted us $65/head for hair, which I thought sounded fairly reasonable, but some people in the wedding party think it's very expensive! I haven't received a quote from the makeup artist yet, but I'd like to know (ballpark) what to expect. I'm not factoring in travel time/tips, I'm just looking for per head prices that you have seen! Thank you!!

    Totally dependant on location. I'm in rural Michigan, my hair was $45 with a trial, makeup was $40.

    I think that is totally reasonable. We found ours for $45 per person for each so $90 for hair and make up total but we knew the people so they gave us discounts.

    For MY hair and makeup it is $450, which includes a trial. For my BM's it is $75 for hair and $75 for makeup which makes it $150 total. Plus a $100 travel fee to bring them in from 3 and half hours away.

    Mine is going to be $75 for hair, $60 for makeup. Pretty standard from what I'm seeing in my area, which is Central NY.

    I'm in Mass and the cheapest I have found so far was $100 hair half up half down and $80 makeup this is with travel for bride. BM's is $65 -$80 for hair depending on if its up or down and I think make up was like $55 for them. I'm leaving it optional for them to do what they want to do

    $65-$80 for hair and $50-$75 for makeup here in Nor Cal. My makeup will be on the higher side because I'm getting airbrushed. I fully believe that you get what you pay for, so I definitely won't be cutting corners to save on certain things.

    This is totally dependent on your location but that sounds like a reasonable price to me. Are you requiring that your bridal party has their hair done professionally?

    Updos for my BP are $160 a person and I usually charge $128 for an updo, $54 for a blow-out. I'd say that's pretty dang reasonable!

    Mine will be $45 for hair (my mom's salon) and $75 for makeup (BM are $65). I thought those were both reasonable

    I'm paying $350 for my hair and makeup (including a trial) and my BP are $130 for hair and makeup per person.

    That salon comes on-location so it was a little pricier than ones where you had to come to them. But worth the convenience IMO!

    I had one girl quote me $60 per girl and that included hair and makeup, and then I've had another girl quote $50 for just hair

    Ours is $75 but they are coming to my house for the whole morning so it costs extra.

    Thanks for the insight ladies! I guess I should have mentioned that I am outside of Milwaukee, so it seems to be like $65 is quite reasonable! And I actually won a bridal contest so my hair and makeup (trial and day of) is completely free! Wooho! I'm not requiring my girls to get their hair and makeup done, but I am strongly encouraging it...lol. Especially if they can look fabulous, and on a very special day, for less than $100
