Hair & makeup quote - is this reasonable?

PaperCrane, on August 8, 2016 at 12:22 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 14

Last night I got a quote for hair and makeup for me and my 2 bridesmaids and I'm not sure if it's reasonable or not. It's $615 and includes my trial. We also get false lashes and a choice of traditional or airbrushed makeup. They are traveling to our location (which happens to be in the same town).

    I'm not an expert on pricing by any means but for three people plus a trial it seems pretty average from what I've seen on here

    I don't think it is bad at all. Where are you located?

    I just looked mine up to be sure I have been commenting correctly on what I am paying (in Colorado).

    My hair - $100 (includes trial)

    My makeup - Day of $150 - Trial - $100

    BM hair - $100 (includes trial but she does not live in the same state so she won't have a trial).

    BM makeup - Day of $80

    It's a little pricey, but it's a pretty common price for that area. That wasn't in my budget, so I had searched for something a little cheaper. My pricing is:

    $200 for my hair and makeup

    $125 per girl for hair and makeup

    But I certainly don't think your pricing is outrageous. It's pretty average.

    I saw some websites with higher prices but I didn't actually get quotes because they were out of our budget. This is actually more than I wanted to spend as well, but I think my budget wasn't realistic to begin with. I've never paid for hair/makeup so I'm clueless.

    With the wedding being so close, I can't be too picky.

    I felt the same way... I knew how much hair would be but was clueless on makeup. I could have saved money if I had let my MUA do my hair too but... I am really picky about my hair and I only trust the person who has cut and colored it the last few years to do it for the wedding.

    If you are happy with the trial I would book them.

    That very reasonable @jersey. I found a place to do my bridesmaids hair and make up for $170. Mine for the same $200.

    My hair and makeup with a trial included is $450. It is $150 for each of my girls for hair and makeup .This seems like a reasonable quote!

    If you didn't book them yet I received a recommendation on here a few months ago for a company that is cheaper, not sure what your budget is but they are located near Doylestown, PA and are traveling to me in Princeton. Are you in PA or NJ?

    I have

    Me, Mom, bestie and a sister

    4 make ups and 3 hair

    It's costing us 870$- so 600 and change for 3 people- sounds about right.

    Check out the finishing touch by cg, I posted a few months ago for reasonable hair/mua in Central Jersey/Philly area and a few girls on here recommended them. I've been really impressed with their work on their fb/website and I have my trial in October. A few girls that I went to high school with also liked them on FB and used them for their wedding. Located in Perkasie, PA.
