What is the average price to pay for hair and makeup??

Kat, on October 16, 2016 at 1:45 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 33

I'm paying for me and my 4 bridesmaids to get their hair done but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg to do so. So what are the average prices for hair and makeup? What did you guys pay? Thanks in advance!

    I think this varies greatly by location.

    The girl that's doing mine and 6 bridesmaid hair is $25 per person. Makeup is $35 per person. It all varies greatly on location

    @Katherine F. - I also live in Iowa and am paying $140 for both hair and makeup. ( That's per person.) That includes airbrush and fake lashes.

    I am finding that hair and makeup cost about 65 to 95 per person for each service so about 140 to 190 per person for both

    As a MUA who occasionally does brides it does greatly vary. SF is up there in price with MUAs charging between $250-500 just for the bride. My advice for anyone looking to save would be...

    -Consider going to a makeup counter if you can: I know it's not really all that glam but most brands will only charge you the cost of a regular makeover (around $60 you just have to buy the products used).

    -Find a capiable beauty school student! Make sure to do a trial. Many budding MUAs are pretty skilled but do not have portfolios. They often deeply discount their work as a result of this. Thumbtack is a good place to find local beauty experts in your area.

    My wedding will also be in Iowa, when I did some initial research it seems like hair will be $60-75 pp, and makeup $150-200 for me, and around $60-75 for bridesmaids.
