if you have the time, i would do another trial. you don't want to be disappointed on your wedding day!
Dang that is alot!
My stylist charged only $30 and when you booked this went into the cost for the day of.
Even though its alot, I think hair/make-up is one of the most important things to be sure about before the day of the wedding. So if I were you, I would do the trial :)
I booked with a salon because it was free to hold the appointment. I then scheduled a trial. The trial was full cost. I was not very impressed. I decided to have a second trial with another MA (based on a referral) and I LOVE her work. I had to pay a small fee for the trial but it was worth it. I also was able to see some pics of previous clients. I booked her and cancelled the previous booking.
I say all that to say definitely do a second trial or at least see a portfolio.
@annieAAA - yeah boston is expensive when it comes to pretty much everything. $100ish is the average that i have been quoted.
there are some MUA's that charge $60 for trials and the highest that i have seen is $250 for a bridal consultation with an artist on newbury street!!
I've booked based on reviews and recommendations. Will do the trial run closer to the wedding.
for those of you who booked before your trial, how much was your deposit? I wonder if that affected whether people did their trials before or after booking...

Hi Ladies! I am having a hard time deciding whether or not to spent another $100 a makeup trial and I know there are many threads on this but I love doing these polls - I would love to see some numbers on people who booked based on portfolio and testimonials vs. people who booked after an initial trial? I have already had one trial that I was disappointed with and the artist that I am now highly considering requires 50% deposit which is a lot of money!
