I don't know what hair and makeup artists charge in your area, but $200 for both sounds like a really good deal.... that is if you like her/his work of course.... but just looking at the price that is a good price in my opinion.
For the tip I would tip about 15% and if you are Really Happy with what was done, maybe a bit more.
I think that's a good price for the Los Angeles area. I tend to tip 15 if I am just ok with it, and 20 or more if I love it. 
I don't think that's unreasonable. I had my longtime hairdresser do my hair - she charged $75, which is actually a lot considering I pay just slightly more than that for cut and color! If you have a hairstylist you normally use, you might want to try and negotiate something. And I did my own makeup. I think there's a way to do it for less in LA, but I do think that's within reason for professional wedding services.
Here are some other things you may want to think about:
1. Is the hair and makeup artist doing your services "on location" in stead of a salon? - the price is useally higher when they come to you. Do they have a travel fee?
2. Does that price include a trial run? If not, how much does the trail cost?
- if possible I think a trial run the a really good thing to do for your wedding, it helps you find out what kind of styles work best for you - work best with your veil/head peice ... ect..

she offers a free trial. You can see if you like what she does and then dedide.
I am using Something Blue Stylists (www.somethingbluestylists.com) I paid $75 for my hair and $75 for makeup, and $50 for hair and $50 for makeup for my BM's. This is the cheapest I found and they have amazing reviews. There is a $50 travel charge if outside OC area but well worth it. They do a trial where you can get your hair and makeup done before the wedding how you would want to wear it to make sure you like their services. It costs money but mine was only $25 each for hair and makeup. I was wondering about tipping too, Ill probably do between 15 and 20%, just as I do when I normally get my hair done.
the cheapest (yet still good quality) i could find was $150 for hair and $110 for makeup for the BRIDE and $75 for updos for BRIDESMAIDS. i live in washington, dc. things are expensive. they will be coming on-site to where i am (my house).
naangel55- I checked out the site but they are unavailable 
thanks anyways!

$200 for hair and makeup is a great deal! I'm paying $250 and thats the cheapest i can find in the LA area for a wedding mua/hair stylist. But she's also great at it! Susie Chuuor!
At the salon I work at, just outside of Toronto we charge $65.00 for the trial and $125.00 for day of (that's both hair and make-up included).
Because wedding parties can be very busy and hectic for the stylists (and stressful if there is a very "picky" bride or BM in the group)... I would definately tip 20% (which is generally the typical amount to tip stylists/ aestheticians). However I cannot stress this enough - only tip that amount if you are 100% happy with the service! Don't feel obligated to tip a certain amount, even if they didn't do a good job.
Hope this helps :)

I was able to find someone who charges $75 for hair and $30 for makeup, but you provide your own foundation. Let me know if you still need someone. She comes to you as well.

I know what a lot of you are thinking it depends on what I'm having done etc...
Since I've never had my make up done or hair done professionally I have no idea what is considered too expensive. I really don't want to get riped off and I could really use your advice. I was quoted at a little less than $200 for both.
How much are you paying/paid?
How much do you think is the average price?
Should I tip 15% or 20%?
Can someone explain to me what pre-trial means?
