I just helped a girlfriend with her wedding. She was married in Los Gatos (which is pretty close to Santa Cruz) and she loved her hair person. I am asking her for the name of the girl now.....but I think she charged around that price for hair only. After getting several makeup trails done (and seeing the costs of makeup) I ended up doing the makeup for her and her whole wedding party. I'm by no means a professional, but had done it before for friends and it ended up working out great!! Its so hard to find decent makeup / hair people who don't charge outrageous prices!
@OzToCaBride: ok, so...her hair person charged $75 for the BMs and $150 for her. Everyone was really happy with thier hair (which doesn't always happen!) http://www.hairbyadrian.com/
Thanks for letting me know! Always great to get recs from people on Wedding Bee who are actually in the area and not relying on Yelp all the time. Thanks again 
The woman who is going to do my hair lives in Santa Cruz! Her name is Shawn and she works at Stranded Beauty Bar: http://www.yelp.com/biz/stranded-beauty-bar-santa-cruz#hrid:EbISRk6fRIhdLxJcVOro2Q/src:self (their yelp web site). I HIGHLY recommend her!!!
@OzToCaBride: You're welcome! Hope you find someone fabulous! I'd recommend my hair person, but I had a destination wedding in Mexico :)
Enjoy your wedding planning!
@Ms.GoodEarth: Thank you! They've got awesome reviews. I need to call them as soon as I get back to SC to find out about pricing.
@tanbarr: Contacted Adrian, loved her website! Now just waiting to hear back from her as to whether or not she is available when I'm back home, too. Again, thanks for suggesting her.
@OzToCaBride: Oh good. I'm glad you liked her portfolio. She is a total sweetheart too. She also does makeup, I believe. Let her know the friend of the bride that was doing makeup for the entire bridal party recommended her! She got everyone ready at a hotel in Campbell, CA and the bride's name was Tracey on 11/12 :)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a decent hair and makeup person in the Santa Cruz area. I've gotten quotes so far of $95-$125 a piece for hair and makeup and no real discounts for wedding parties or for the hair/make up trial. That just seems super, super steep to me.
