Bridal makeup and hair (with trial) costs?

Pegs, on December 15, 2017 at 4:07 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12

How much did you pay for hair and makeup for your wedding? Did you have a trial with that salon?

I just received a quote (getting married in Greece), and it's $360 for three trials, with final hair and makeup for day of wedding.

That just sounds very high. What did you pay?

    I was just quoted $225 for just a MUA, which includes one trial. Her work is gorgeous, but I think it's too pricey since it doesn't include hair.

    I put the money I would have paid for a MUA toward actual makeup and just did it myself. I do a lot of theater, so I was able to do a pretty good job. I really wanted to look like myself and not a glam doll. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, just not for me. I spent about 200 on new makeup and probably about 120 for a hair trial and the day of. I got my trial done for my bridal shower, so it worked out well. Smiley smile It was around 60 each time she did my hair. The lady who did it was my usual stylist anyway, so that was nice.

    I live in Seattle. Everything is inflated here, but even I was surprised by the price. She told me it could include curling hair, or a "light" style, but that's not what I want. I think it's ridiculous that I would have to pay for that much AND pay for a separate hairstylist.

    Neither from salons. Both are freelance and they were best I found

    I've had 2 makeup trials. One was $90 and one was $60. Haven't had my hair trial but it is $90. I'd say if you are getting 3 of each that is a good deal.

    My trial is 120. Day of is 160. Why would someone need 3 trials? When I went somewhere else for my engagement hair and makeup it was 85 for hair and 65 for makeup, which I thought was too much....But I looked good! I live in honolulu hawaii
