How much did hair and makeup cost just for you as the bride? How much for others—mothers, bridesmaids, etc.? We are getting married in a major metro area but the quote my planner just sent me seems way too high

I’m in the DC area and 550 for bride (exclud. Travel fees) and 150 for everyone else

I spent $200 on my hair + makeup on the day (but I also had to pay $150 for the trial). For others it was $160 (hair and makeup total).

$550 for trial, bridal hair and makeup
$220 for bridesmaid/other hair and makeup

650 for trial, makeup and hair in LA
180 for makeup and hair for bridesmaid

3500 for everyone including tip and trial - 8 people. NYC

5 people including the bride. 1K. NYC. Not including tip or trial

Would like a recommendation as well!

I think I paid $300 ($150 each) for hair and make up. There was an additional cost for a trial that was close to the regular cost for the wedding. Bridesmaids and MOB was $125 for each service (hair and make up) I believe.

$1770 for 5 bridesmaids hair and makeup (falsies and airbrush), bride hair and makeup (falsies and airbrush), and trial. This includes fees and tip.

Each bridesmaid was $180 pre tax, fees and tip. Mine was $490, and travel fee was $100. This is in a mid-size US city.

$2200 as bride and $2250 for bridesmaids and family members :( Plus henna and saree draping services since it’s an Indian wedding. It’s a cruel world

I spent 165 on the trial and 215 on HMU as well as 95 on my sister in law’s hair

$250 bride hair, $275 bride makeup
$150 bridesmaid hair, $100 bridesmaid makeup
Central NJ

For me (bride) $325 for hair and makeup and $200 for trial. For bridesmaids $120 for hair and $125 for makeup.

What hair and makeup artist did you use? I’m planning my wedding in Sturbridge, MA right now.

$125 trial, $300 day of hmu, $150 for makeup and $100 for hair per bridesmaid - NYC

250 for hair and makeup on the day of for me, and 125 for the trial. This is in a high COL city but on the lower end of prices I've seen.

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked! And my direct manager agrees with him, but it was my third week. What to do? I feel like I’m going to say something crazy. Any advice?

Apologies for my bad shots but peeps were giving me the stink eye for taking pics on the train.

I dig this work. Perfect for the medium. Simple. Clever. Relatable. And they look great. #props

Are you paying for bridesmaid hair and make-up? Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
