Bridesmaid upset that I didn't consult with her before booking hair & make-up Rant

I have already booked my hair and make-up artist. My hair stylist is my normal stylist I always see and my make-up artist is someone that works in her salon (I love her work and personality!).

I have already booked my hair and make-up artist. My hair stylist is my normal stylist I always see and my make-up artist is someone that works in her salon (I love her work and personality!). She normally charges $85 per person but she is giving me a discounted rate of $60 per person. I am paying for my bridesmaid's dresses $150 each for six girls. The only thing I am asking them to pay for is their alterations and shoes which are $10. I let them know I was having a hair and make up for the day of and that IF they wanted to get anything done they would need to pay for it.. If they didn't want it no biggie they can do their own. So each girl would be paying $120 total for both services. One of my bridesmaid is PISSED that I never asked any of them for their input on hair & make-up artist and what they wanted to spend. She told me she doesn't want to spend more than $35 on make up and $50 on hair. What do I do here?

    I think the prices are great! You gave her a choice, you aren't forcing her to spend the money, I don't think she has a right to complain about it, since you bought their dresses. Some people just like to complain!

    She can get her hair and makeup done at a local salon and then meet you, or do her own, or pay for just hair and not makeup (or vice-versa). You did not need to consult her.

    You paid almost $1K for their gowns. You've made this whole BM thing rather easy on them -- financially speaking. How anyone could challenge you about the MUA you chose -- when you've already covered the cost of the gowns -- is shocking. Tell her that she's welcome to shop around and pay her own MUA, but she had better be on time for the getting ready pics. Seriously, some people....

    You did nothing wrong. I agree with everyone else. Tell her she can either not do hair and make up or get her hair and make up done somewhere else
