Having your hair and make up done professionally for ur wedding?

I really want to do it but don't want to spend any ';extra'; money in something that might not be worth it..


Do you think it is worth it??


How do you pick a place to get it done??


Do you as a customer have the right to request that they do your hair different ways prior to your day so you can decide what you want??


Would I have to pay for each time they do my hair and make up tryouts??


How does that whole thing work??Having your hair and make up done professionally for ur wedding?
I decided to get my hair and make-up professionally done because I plan on looking at the photo's for a very long time and I don't want to cringe at some make-up mishap :p So to me it was worth it.





I asked a friend of mine who got married when I'd just gotten engaged for the phone number of her hair and make-up artist since the lady had done a fantastic job on the bride and bridesmaids. But since it's doubtful that you're in the same country I would say go to your usual salon, they'll know how to work with your hair and they might be able to give you a discount.





It's advised that you go for a hair trial before the wedding (about a month before) so that if you don't like something they can change it and together you can come up with the best style (oh, and take pictures with!). Generally you do pay for each trial but some places might only charge you for the products they use.





You just go into the salon (or wherever) and tell them that you're getting married and want them to do your hair and make-up. Then you book the appointments for the trials and for the actual day (book for the actual day well in advance).





If I can recommend something: have your hair and make-up done as close to the venue as you can, it'll prevent any possible extra stress. I got mine done at the lady's house and I was nearly late for my wedding.Having your hair and make up done professionally for ur wedding?
Well i love Mac Makeup.


I am going to the Mac store, They will do bridal make up for free but you have to make at least a $50 purchase (Which i wouldn't mind),


For my hair im just going to my normal hair dresser. And im just going to switch it up. Nothing Major. You dont have to spend $200 on hair and $200 on make up just to look good, I think thats crazy!
I def think its worth it and its a must. u only get married once and u need to look amazing. I went on modelmayhem and searched for a make up artists that also does hair. I went on that site cuz i wanted someone who knows what there doing. On that site u can see there portfolios and pics of work. good luck %26lt;3
Psst:





Macys make up counters also do make-up for wedding days


1. get hair done and have veil on


2. have an appt made prior~then go and get make up done


any brand will do this as long as you purchase at least $50

Well I had my hair professional done by the woman that did my prom plus it was afforable!! I did my own makeup and it came out awesome. Bare Esstentials baby!
Is it worth it? Yes, it is. I love the way I feel when a professional does my hair and makeup. If you're ever had your hair professional washed, cut and blow-dried, you know the feeling. You walk out of the salon and you feel like a million bucks. It's that same feeling you get, but 10x times that, because you have a special, more formal hairstyle and wonderful makeup.





I do my makeup everyday, but I don't do it like a professional. Professionals know how to apply makeup that looks great in person, but also on camera. They can play up your strong features and play down the ones you don't like. They also know how to make you look like yourself, but more sophisticated and polished. So, it's so worth it.





As for prices, that depends largely where you go. But, a trial is a must. Bring pictures to the trial (which does cost money) and consult with the stylist about what would look best for your face shape, your dress, your makeup, the type of hair you have (that's a big one) and your vision.





My salon charges $250 for a hair package. That includes the trial and wedding day hair (also, no extra charge for a headpiece, someplaces charge extra) They charge $150 for just the wedding day updo, with no prior trial. For makeup, they do a trial (it's optional) for $60 and wedding day makeup is $90.





This is a little high, even for this salon. I get my hair done there on a normal basis and I pay $90 before tip for full color with wash, cut and blow-dry. But, every salon has different prices points. Also, it depends largely on where you live. Some areas have lower cost of living, so services like this are also lower in price.





If you're having a hard time picking a salon, ask a friend that has great hair!! Check out her place, friends are the best referrals.
