Hair & Makeup 2 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 4
How much did you or are you going to pay to have your hair and makeup done on your wedding day?

Where did you go?

I have been having trouble lately with both departments.

I am not sure if $50 is too much for hair for everyone including me and the flowergirl?

I also had a makeup person lined up and now they can't do it. I did find someone that is willing to do it, and she is $45.

Please let me know!

I think I paid $100 or $120 for myself that included hair trial, makeup trial, day-of hair and makeup, manicure and pedicure. This was at a salon that is in a more rural area but they did a fabulous job. If you are looking at somewhere in Kitchener I think the price sounds pretty reasonable. I'm not sure if you would want to drive to New Hamburg but if so let me know and I will PM you the name of the salon I went to. I believe just for an updo it's around $35 and makeup is $25 but then you wouldn't have the trial.

I will be using Ku'r salon and spa for my hair and make-up. They have the prices online. I'm going there mainly because my regular hair-stylist is there and I can't imagine going any where else. I believe my hair and make-up are around $80 each. The bridesmaids will be probably half the price (since they probably don't need a level 3 stylist to do their hair...unless you request it) and they don't need a trial session. I do highly recommend paying for the pre-wedding trial for yourself, I've seen first hand how frustrating and bad it could go, so you don't want to stress yourself out on the big day.

Hey wedding buddy!

From my research so far that seems pretty reasonable. I know we are going to my hairdressers salon and I think they are charging $40 or 50 a head for styling and mine includes trial. Which I think is pretty reasonable.

Makeup artist - finding very frustrating, I had a girl lined up and that didn't turn out so now I'm trying to find someone that is good but also reasonable. So far I have been quoted between $40-50 a face.

Overall, I think the big decision is whether your covering the cost or if the girls are. I know I'm still on the fence on this one - though Im going to ask the girls if they have to is this price ok... and then go from there.

I have already booked my hair - now its just makeup. Crazy times!

I hear ya on the Makeup end! I have gone through 2 girls and they both backed out :-S

I have another though that I am sending the deposit to tomorrow! so hopefully she sticks!

This hair thing is kinda bugging me though.. I have a hairdresser but she can pretty much only come to me and do it..
I think that it would be cool to go to an actual salon and do it! Just get the overall wedding day ambience! But where is it that's not like $70 a head! and still has openings for my day!

WOW we must be using the same makeup artists or something cause I have had 2 back out as well. Well the one has just disappeared from all forms of communication for over a week. So still on the hunt.

I agree about wanting to go into the salon, though if your struggling w/ the cost and finding a place that hasn't been booked then maybe go for your reg. hair stylists and go out and get your makeup done instead.

Just a thought


Hope all is well with the plans!!! We are gettin' closer... less than 9 mths away!
