I've got an unexpected problem with finding a hair and makeup artist. The wedding is in Philadelphia in October (I live out of state) and I've been sending out requests for quotes from multiple stylists. But they all have a minimum person quota and won't come out for small groups.
I've only got 2 bridesmaids. One wants to do her own hair/makeup (she's good at it), and one wants to do her own hair (it's a pixie cut) and will only want makeup. My mom doesn't like having makeup put on her, and she doesn't have any hair from the chemo/radiation she's been doing. MIL has no interest in hair or makeup at all, she's a super minimalist. I respect everyone's decisions and would never force them to get hair or makeup done, I like 'em just the way they are anyways. But that's the whole immediate family/bridal party group.
So I'm trying to find someone who will come and do bridal hair and makeup, plus makeup for one bridesmaid. I'm willing to pay well, not trying to be cheap! But I keep running into the same wall- pay for the price of bride and 3+ bridesmaids or they won't come. I think paying about $1000+ for my hair/makeup and one makeup session for a bridesmaid to be pretty steep though... How do I go about doing this?
I'll mention I'm not great at all doing my own hair and makeup so a DIY option is not what I want. I'm a stresser, and I don't want the stress of doing my hair/makeup where I could screw it up (I always do) and then forever remember that with my gorgeous pictures from my A+ photographer.
Thanks in advance!
