I was wondering how much other brides have spent/are spending on wedding make-up and hair? Every supplier I've found look amazing, but the prices are just so high! It would be for myself, my mum and 4 bridesmaids. Thank you in advance!

I'm paying £40 for my hair trial and £40 again on the day and my bridesmaids are £30 each. I'm doing my own make up as my trial for that was not good

I had one person do hair and makeup for me, 3 bridesmaids and my Mom for £300 think my trial was about £50 (there was a little discount for early bird and multiple booking 10% I think). It seems to really vary from area to area on cost x

£300 for hair and makeup, for me and mum, including a trial. Well worth it. Make sure whoever you book is fully insured, so many 'MUA's' around with no insurance, or training.

Mine is £380 for myself and 3 bridesmaids for hair and make-up. That's not including the trial

I done my own make up as I don't wear much anyway and my hair was £20. I went to a girl who works from her house who used to cut my hair anyway.
People hear wedding and then totally rip you off. Be careful out there.

Paying £185 for hair and makeup trail and on the day, also including hair for my niece as bridesmaid who will be 13. Looking around this came across as a good price. Also I'm very unlikely to have my hair and makeup ever done again so wanted to make the most :)

On the day it's £30 each for hair only for bridesmaids and mum. £90 for my hair and make up.

I'm quite lucky my bridesmaids want to do their own hair and makeup, the place I'm looking at is £200 for hair and makeup, trials for each and obviously on the day. It's the trials that get ya -.-

Sadly they all seem to cost a fortune so I just booked the best local one that was available for my date. Think it was about £350 for me and one bridesmaid (Hair and makeup for the trial and on the day). I am useless at both hair and makeup so it's something i've got to have. Hoping to cut some costs elsewhere but seem to be going over budget on everything!!!!
