Bridal Party Hair/ Makeup

I only have one girl in my bridal party and she only wears jewelry if her boyfriend gets her it. So jewelry as a gift was out of the question and I didn't like any other of the gift ideas. So when we booked out MUA she told me sometimes the brides pays for their girls makeup as a gift, so that's what I'm doing for her. As for hair we have someone doing it for free so I don't need to worry of that lol

Currently, letting them know they can have hair and make-up done with me as long as they pay for it, but I'm going to look into our budget and see if we can afford to pay for it. It would still be optional.

I am requiring them to have it done, therefore I am paying for it. I'm not dictating colors or styles or anything crazy like that. Its really up to you. If you pay for one, you probably need to pay for them all unless one is in dire financial straights and can keep it on the DL.

I am not paying for them so I gave them the option to do it themselves or professionally. Just asked that they not over do their hair.

My girls get their hair done regularly, so we are only paying for their make-up.

I am also requiring them to have t done (they will also all hve the same hair style) so I will be paying for both hair and make up.

Im a cosmetology student so Im getting mt friends to come out and help me with my own hair and make up and my girls. Im having a half up half down style and I want most of them to have an updo to compliment it but my FS-I-L who is a BM has a short bob so I might just let them curl it.

If you are requiring pro hair and make-up, you should pay for it. If you don't want to pay, then give your BMs the option to do it themselves so they can choose whether or not to spend the money on pro services.

I'm paying for my bridesmaids to get their hair done and told them if they want make-up done, they can pay for that themselves. But none of them wanted makeup done since it was like $75 or something. I've been a few weddings as a bridesmaid and every time it was required of me to get my hair done, and I had to pay for it. It ran $75-80 each time plus tip. Of course I thought it was a lot of money for a hair do for one day, but that's what the bride wanted. I hadn't even heard of brides paying for it until I got on WW.

I will let them choose if they would like to have their hair done by a pro. Same with makeup. I have shown them styles I would like and if they can pull it off themselves then great! Makeup wise, I'm not even sure if I'm hiring a MUA or not yet.

ETA: I bought them Jewelry and a bath robe with their initial on it for their gifts. They know I'm getting jewelry but don't know what it will look like. The bathrobe is a complete surprise.

I can't afford to pay for 6 people in addition to mine. My mother stated she would pay for my sisters and herself.

I'm paying for my bridesmaids, my mom, MIL, and two sisters.

We are requiring a simple updo but allowing them to choose who and where does it and make up is optional so we are not paying because we can't find it in our budget!

I'm paying for the hair and make up. Why not? I want everybody to look and feel great

I gave my girls the option whether or not they want their hair done professionally or want to do it themselves because everyone has a different budget. Two of them are having it done professionally and the other two want to do it themselves. I am not paying for it, as they had the option to do it professionally or not. Also, I am not picky about what their hair looks like..I am letting them choose their own hairstyles.

I gave the option if they wanted pro makeup, the hair, jewelry, and shoes are up to them.

I'm paying for my bridesmaid's hair as their gift and they have the option of getting their makeup done at the same time as well. My MOH has already stated she wants to do her own makeup, one bridesmaid wants to pay to have it done and another is doing what the majority decides. For my SIL, who's pretty bookish and never wears makeup/styles her hair, I'm paying for both to make sure she fits with the rest of the girls (she'd wear a ponytail and jeans if I let her). She doesn't mind as long as someone else does it for her. Since, as some of the other brides have mentioned, hair/makeup does tend to be a pricey part of the bridesmaid territory that's expected I wanted to help offset it with the hair but I really can't afford to do hair and makeup ($180/pp) for each gal.

I am giving them the option to do it themselves or get it done professionally. I will be telling them the general style of how it should be done (ponytail, chignon, half up half down, etc.) All I ask is that if they do it themselves they do a trial run and send me a picture, I trust most of my girls will do a good job though. Only one I'm a little worried about is one of my sisters and I think I can convince my parents to pay for her (she lives with them).

While they all want to get their hair done and expect to pay for it, I didn't ask about makeup except my MOH has mentioned that she wants it. My friend is a HMUA so she is cutting me one helluva deal so I am able to cover all of the girls hair and makeup! If this was not the case, I would pay for the makeup as a "luxury" as they all were going to pay to get their hair done anyway.

I looked for the best prices and then emailed all of the BMs with the price for hair and makeup and let them decide if they wanted to have it done professionally. They all said they did, so I scheduled the appointments for all of us to go together. The only ones I'm paying for are the flower girls. My brother's whole family of four is in the wedding so I felt bad that they had to pay for four outfits and three updos.
