I can't believe I have to ask this.... what is the correct tip amount for the TRIAL hair and makeup? Each are running about $60.00 and they are coming to me (there are two of them working together). They aren't cheap for day of and I am going to give them five people to do in addition to myself (probably does not matter...) if I like their stuff.

I actually didnt even think to tip during my trial and realized it after they left so I added it to the tip on the day of my wedding.

I would say maybe 10 bucks each? Which I know sounds like a lot for a $60 service but they are coming to you and I assume they arent charging a travel fee?

I paid 20% tip for my trial hair, but I went to them... $60 for each sounds a bit steep for EACH. How much is it going to cost on your actual wedding day?

Tips are never required but always appreciated! I would say I get tipped for trials about 50% of the time, and they're always a nice surprise and lets me know my client enjoyed my work. For my $60 trials, I've received anywhere from $5-$25, ultimately it's really up to you! Different brides have different budgets, so your stylists should understand and appreciate whatever you decide to tip them, if at all.
