Who typically pays for hair and make up

If you require pro hair/makeup, you have to pay for it. If it's an option, then they can pay if they choose to use the pro service

If you're requiring it you need to pay. Otherwise they can pay if they want it

I'm not requiring it but I still intended to pay for it if anyone wanted it done. Then my dad's GF generously offered to pay for all the hair and make-up expenses. I'm also doing a mani/pedi the day before and told my party they were welcome to join me on my tab.

When I was in a wedding a few years ago, the bride paid for all beauty-related services, including nails, make-up, and hair.

Okay thank you. That is what I thought!

"I do want all of my girls to get their hair and make up done." --> that means you pay

PPs are correct. My BP opted for hair and makeup and paid for their own services since I didn't require it. I did, however give them certificates to have their nails done whenever they want.

The only thing we are asking the our wedding party to pay for is their dress/tux. We are paying for shoes and hair. Make up and jewelry can be whatever they feel comfortable with.

I offered to pay for my mom and sisters (2 of them, my bridesmaids) to get their hair and makeup done. Some other friends will be getting ready with us and I offered to schedule hair and makeup if they want it, but they'd pay.

If you require it, you pay.

You should pay for it if you want it done. I'm paying for their hair, not makeup. I don't care about them having professionally applied makeup. I told them what it would cost at the salon we are doing our hair, if they want to go that route.

If you want them to get it done, you pay for it. I won't be requiring it, so if they want to get it done then they can.

I hired a HMUA for my BMs so that they didn't have to worry about it. They all told her what style they wanted. If there's a certain look you're requiring, you need to pay for it.

I plan on paying for hair for my girls and myself. If they want makeup it will be out of their own pockets, and that service will be provided if they want. I'm not requiring it. My mom & FMIL will have to pay for their own hair & makeup if they want it done.

Hi Erin! As the previous posters have said, if you are requiring it - you pay! If you make it optional then each bridesmaid can decide whether or not they'd like to pay for it.

Here's a great article from WeddingWire that breaks down who pays for what:

I second if you are requiring it you pay. I will be paying my bridesmaid hair but the makeup is up to themselves if they want to or not.

Example- I am getting my hair and makeup done professionally. Duh.

My stylist owns her salon and asked if I am making my bridesmaids get their hair done. I said I am not requiring it and then asked my bridesmaids individually if they would like to get their hair/makeup done and the cost for each. All decided they wanted hair done but not makeup. Cool. I called my stylist, she reserved all her girls to do hair for us. I am only paying for my own hair and makeup. They are paying for their own since I asked them and did not require it

If you are requiring them to have it done than you pay. If you are not requiring than they can pay if they want it done or not have it done at all. Even if you're not requiring you can offer to pay and let them get it done as a gift if you choose. I am already paying for my girls dresses, so I have told them that the lady will be there to do my hair and they may pay to have theirs done if they want.
