Bridal Makeup
When it comes to your wedding day, every bride wants to feel and look amazing but she also wants it to be as stress-free as possible and that’s why hiring a hair and makeup artist is such a good idea.
However, one of the things that can make brides hesitant to hire someone to do their bridal hair and make-up is the cost.
So how much is a bride likely to pay for hair and makeup from the trial right through to the wedding day itself?
The average cost of a bridal hair and makeup trial is from £140 – £220 On average for both services. Or for just the makeup you could expect to pay upwards of £110.
The trial is important as it allows the bride to meet with the hair and makeup artist, discuss the ideas she has for her wedding day look and try out different styles and products.
It also gives the hair and makeup artist a chance to get to know the bride and understand her style, so they can create a look that is perfect for her on her big day.
The trial will usually take place around 4-8 weeks before the wedding day.
On the day of the wedding, the hair and makeup artist will come to the bride’s house or hotel room at her wedding venue to do her hair and makeup.
The average cost of bridal hair and make up on the day is between £300 and £500 if both services are needed, if you are only having your bridal makeup done for you then you can expect the costs to range between £170 and £300 or for just bridal hair the average costs are £160 and £300.
Bridal Party Costs
The cost of hair and makeup for the bridal party will again vary depending on a number of different factors.
For example, if the bride has 4 bridesmaids and they all want their hair and makeup done then the average cost would be between £450 – £600.
This cost can be reduced though by having some of the bridal party have their hair styled only or just have their makeup done.
The average cost of having your hair styled for the wedding day is £60 – £85 per person and the same for makeup costs.
It’s important to remember that these prices are just a guide and the actual costs will depend on a number of factors such as location, number of people, the time required for each person, and any special requests.
