I have been doing research for scheduling hair and makeup and have been getting some crazy prices. How much did you/ are you going to pay for hair and makeup (including a trial, not including bridal party)?
For me I think it's going to be about $100 for both hair and make up which I am stoked about...I don't know what's normal but I *feel* like I'm getting a deal...the girl doing my hair I've known for about 10 years!
I think that for my trial and actual hairstyle/makeup I'll be spending around $200? My spreadsheet is at home, so I can't tell you exactly what it is 
Makeup I'm getting the airbrushing which is about $70... and am doing the rest by myself.
Hair is $150 for trial + day of. But I'm also getting it dyed and trimmed a week before soooo that tacks on another $70...
I think my make up & hair, including the trials was $245, but I booked with last year's prices. (I got a free make up trial, but hair & makeup $180 and the hair trial was $65). Now, I think the place I'm using is $290 ($100 for hair, $100 for make up, $25 for make up trial, and $65 for hair trial).
My makeup is $50 for the trial and $260 for day-of package including my mom, SIL and 3 attendants. Hair, I don't know. A friend is doing it, and we haven't discussed money yet.
Mine is about 80 for hair and makeup w/o tip. I think it's 45 for hair, and 35 for makeup? Something like that. If I want them to do my nails, it's another 20.
My make up is a completely ridiculous $225. Luckily, the person doing my hair is a good friend from college who is doing it for a very small amount of money.
my make up with be $55 with falsh eyelashes... same price for the trial
I am paying $165 for makeup but that includes airbrush, eyelashes, trial and day of. She is also coming to my salon for the day of. I fugured $200 isn't too horrible.
My FSIL is a hairdresser and will do my hair for free. She'll do my makeup too.
I just scheduled mine today. It's $245 for day of make-up(airbrush and false lashes) and hair and a trial run.
I am paying $180 for a trial makeup/hair + wedding day makeup/hair. Never paid this much for my beauty before, haha, so I hope it's worth it!
I'm paying $85 for make up $100 for hair. The price is steep. And its even more expensive because they're coming to the venue to do it. But, I'd rather they do it than me!
Hair-$120
Makeup-$55
Hair Trial-$65
Makeup Trial $40
Hate paying this much, but it's totally worth it for the big day!
Damn! So I guess that's just how much it costs? I was hoping that I had just been contacting places that were pricier.
I have been getting mostly quotes around $75 for hair and $50 for makeup with trial prices about the same. And who knew you had to pay extra for false eyelashes? I can't even find anyone who will do airbrushing for less than $200.
This is the first time I have had sticker shock this bad in the wedding process. :(
I'm paying $262 for myself and that includes false lashes. Including myself and 3 others and travel fee it's about $518 total. That's the cheapest I found so far in LA.
I work at a salon and spa, so my hair will be free, and I am doing my own make-up (I'm esthetician, so I've taken many make-up artistry courses). Normally we charge about $60-70 for hair and $45 for make-up. $45 for hair trial and $25 for make-up trial.
$100 each for hair & makeup
$40 each for trials
That includes airbrush makeup, fake lashes and veil placement.
My hair and makeup was $75 each for me, so $150 total and my trial was free.
I'm being quoted about $100 - $150 for makeup... Is this normal for Northern California? Seems high, but I have no clue!
Oh and both places are $75 additional for a trial.
It's $75 for the bridesmaids (I'm paying for their hair $50), and $200 for my hair/makeup (including trial). We're in Nashville, TN.
Make up for me is $200 (including tattoo coverup with product cost). That included the trial and travel fees. BM's makeup is $50.
Hair trial was $40 for the first, $20 for the second (since I wasn't happy with the first), and $40 day of.
Bride's hair - $70
Bridesmaids - $60
Make-up (someone coming into my home)- $20 each
Not including tipping for either of course...
Seems like a lot of people are getting false eyelashes for the day of? For those who are...have you ever worn them before? I didn't even think about wearing them, but am tempted. I worry that they will bother me if I wear them for the first time on my wedding day. What are your tips regarding them?
Gonne read up with the comments on @mrsmcleantobe her question, I am curious as well! And can you wear fake lashes with contacts??
I decided to pay hair and make-up for everyone in the wedding party plus both moms. Because the wedding is on a Sunday the prices were doubled for all services.
Here goes:
Bride: Trial: 160 (hair and make-up) Day-of: 310 (hair and make-up)
Bridesmaids: Day of: 260 (hair and make-up)
Mom's: Day of: $200
@sgarrison2: who is doing your hair and make-up? I'm also in Nashville.
I'm paying $175 for hair and makeup done by the same person, including airbrushing and false eyelashes if I want them. The trial (for both H & M) is an additional $100 :/ I hope she's good!
Hmmm...my hair and makeup trial is $90 and my day of hair and makeup is $110. Yikes...that's $200 for hair and makeup alone, not counting the manicure and pedicure I plan on getting :-/
I was in a wedding last year. The rates were $50 for hair and $45 for makeup. The wedding was at a fabulous Jacksoville mansion.
Why do the rates seem so much higher today, specifically for the Charleston area. I know that its a historic city, but sheesh!
My wedding is in 3 weeks and Im still searching for a hairstylist. Please send a link to me if you know of any.
Thanks

My hair will be $80 and my makeup will be $25 - my hair would be free if I had 10 girls total but we only have 9! I am a little bummed about that actually!!
My hair and makeup trial and day off were 420$ total. It was a lot but I don't regret it a minute. They came to my suite in the morning (hair dresser and makeup artist) and did my mom, MIL and myself. Total for the 3 of us was 750$ including falsies for the 3 of us. If you have the opportunity to have the people come to you it is the best. I was really relaxed the morning off and not having the stress of going outside of the hotel was the best decision for me.
$330 for the wedding day make up (on location) and $110 for trial.
I used to think this was CRAZY expensive but someone actually quoted me $600 for the day-of hair and make up alone. Too much!
My hair and makeup trial are the same cost as the day of. My hair is $125 and my makeup is $70.
I'm paying retarded pricing because one of my criteria for choosing a MUA was that she was able to cover up my forearm tattoo. Hair and makeup (includes airbrushing, falsies, etc) are $180 each. $75 for tattoo cover.
I don't know exactly what it comes out to individually, but I am paying about $475 for hair and makeup for myself and three bridesmaids.
