How much does it usually cost to get your hair and make-up done for your wedding day?

I have never had this done beforeHow much does it usually cost to get your hair and make-up done for your wedding day?
Are you getting this done in a salon or are you hiring a stylist/make-up artist to travel to your wedding sight?


If you are having this work done in a salon the prices are hingent on the salon/the stylist/ and the cost of living for your area.


A typical up-do can cost anywhere between $45-$100.00.


A make-up artist can cost anywhere between $20.00-$75.00.


If you are having the stylist(s) come to you, they may charge a travel fee (circa $25.00-$60.00) or they may charge you by the hour (circa $50.00-$100.00).


I know it sounds expensive but it's usually well worth it.


As a side note- I witnessed a co-worker skimp on this detail and she had a friend do her make-up, unfortunately my co-worker looks WAY better when she does her own make-up. So if you choose to enlist a friend, please make sure they know what they are doing!

It cost me $75 for hair and I think it was $55 for make-up. I'm not sure if where you live makes a difference, but I live in California.





For my make-up, I went to Macy's department store and had the gal at the Clinique counter do my make-up. I had done a ';trial run'; with her (which wasn't as expensive) and I liked what she did, so I had her do my make-up the day of the wedding. I highly suggest a trial run on both make-up and hair. I had gone to a MAC counter and had my make-up done as a trial run, but it was a little over-the-top. I'm glad I tried a couple places. Of course, if you find one you like on the first try, all the better!





My normal hairdresser did my hair, and I didn't have it up, so if you're having it up and normally don't wear it that way, make sure you have it done at least once in advance. The style you picked may not look as good on you as you think, and your hairdresser should be able to help pick a similar style that would suit you.





Congrats on your upcoming nuptials!
In the most recent wedding I was a bridesmaid in (I live in the Chicagoland area) it cost $60 for our updos and $30 for the makeup, and then there was tipping for the stylist and the makeup artist, so it was about $125. The salon we went to had us put down a $50 deposit in advance, so it wasn't too bad when we actually paid. Call around and ask salons if they will offer a discounted rate if you bring in your whole wedding party, etc. Just make sure you do a ';test run'; of your hair and makeup before the big day to make sure you like it!! Congrats and good luck!
I am having my friend %26amp; my cousin fix mine %26amp; my bridemaids hair. We will have a get-together a couple of weeks before the wedding to try our hairstyles %26amp; see what looks best. So it will be free!





When I have had my hair professionally done, it was around $65.00





For make-up, you should be able to go to a beauty counter in a department store %26amp; have it done for free. I have no idea how much it would cost if you paid someone.
