Go out or stay in?

If you go for the salon then make sure to have an appointment! I did the salon thing without an appointment but I went right when they opened so I didn't have to wait anyway.

Really the issue may be travel and time vs cost. Call around and price out both options, but the advantage to going to a salon is the possibility of more people to work on you and your wedding party while the advantage to someone coming to you is not having to drive to wherever so more time to relax.

There is an Ulta beauty 10 mins from my venue. They do hair and makeup there. I contacted one place they only do makeup and its a little more expensive than Ulta.

Usually a salon will be cheaper and won’t have a minimum for number of services they require. But having someone come to you is a lot more convenient.

I'll be making the trip to the salon for my hair. I might go crazy being cooped up in my room/bathroom all morning getting ready!

You make a good point! I think I would too.

That sounds perfect then. Good luck!

I went back and forth with this too! I priced out both options and it was $100 more the have someone come to me for my hair and makeup. I ended up deciding to have her come to me. I think it will save some stress in the morning. If the price isn’t too different for you, I would have her come to you!

My hair and makeup people are coming to me! I think it will just make everything go smoother and we won’t have to run around and rush anything! I just want to remain calm and hang with my gals all day before the ceremony!!

I think you should have someone go over to your hotel/house or even bridal room if your venue has one. to avoid stress and other inconvenience along the way

$100 difference isn't bad. I have only found someone that does makeup on site. I'll have to do more research to find someone who does both.

I'd prefer someone to come to me, honestly. I don't want to be travelling at all on my wedding day. I only want to have to travel to my venue, and that's it! But that's just me!!
