    I'm having my trial done on Nov. 19, but the price might be a little lower if I decide against a full updo. As it stands, the trial and day-of hair and airbrush makeup is about $125. How much did yours cost?

    I was just married on 10/2/10 and mine was $35. I also paid for my mother and my sister to have their hair done and my total was only $95 all together. I did my own make up though. I attached a photo of my hair results =) There is an up close and a photo from behind as well.

    Beautiful! I feel like I'm getting screwed, but I need the airbrush makeup...and it's easier to just do everything in one place.

    @Statutory Grape: Dior has a fabulous air brush foundation for $60 and it will last you around 6 months if you'd rather buy it!

    @Jerseygirl23: I only need it to cover a tattoo for that day, and I already have a foundation I use on a regular basis...otherwise, I would. :)

    @lilyfaith: Wow, I was thinking it'd be way more expensive in Chicago...that's pretty reasonable!

    Mine is only going to cost $50. My mom works at a salon and one of her girlfriends is really good at formal styles.

    I think for a trial, the actual, AND your airbursh make up that is a reasonable price.

    @Statutory Grape: yeah, it's an expensive salon in the hoity toity neighborhood where my campus is, too! I do wish they wouldn't have separate "bridal" prices that are higher, but they've given me plenty of free extra services in the past, so I'm not complaining. :)

    For mine in mid-MO, it was $90 for hair including trail, but not including tip. Airbrush makeup was $30 not including tip. Total charged: $120. I thought it was quite reasonable!

    They don't have prices on their site so I can't tell if it's doubled because it's for a wedding, but they did say that they made an error when I first made the appointment (said it was $90 for just the day-of, no trial, but then they added the bridal package and it included both days). It's not terrible...pricey, but what can you do?

    Mine's about that for all of it put together and I'm in Ohio. I'm on the fence about air-brush, but makeup tends to disppear on my face. decisions, decisions!

    I'm not in the midwest, but was curious to see what it costs out there! I was married in philly and my hair and makeup total was about $170 not including the trials. While it was a big expense, I can promise you it was worth every penny, esp after spening so much $ on a photographer, dress, etc. These are the pictures that you will frame and keep on display forever, so make sure you look and feel your best!

    @moderndaisy: True! I mean, I'm a little wary of spending almost as much on makeup and hair as I did on my dress (which was $160), but I think it will be totally worth it.
