Wedding Hair & Make-up: How much are people spending

1 to 40 of 40

- CommentAuthorCoconut
I only want my hair curled with a little bit up and minor makeup-up. How much are people spending as I really don't want to spend to much!
- CommentAuthor*KelBel*
I'm hoping to spend £200 on both and that will be for me and 4 bridesmaids,my hairdresser has quoted me £100 for all our hair so hoping I can get the makeup for the same x

- CommentAuthormillz090
It varies, my hair is free and bridesmaid is a hairdresser but make up is £150 and that's for a full trail, make up on day and eyelashes. I think I could have found it cheaper but really liked the lady and saved money from my hair so spent on make up instead xxx

Fair enough millz. Kelbel that's the sort of prices I was wanting but haven't found anyone yet who is that cheap. X
- CommentAuthorAmyK
I could be worth going and getting some trials done at make up counters in departments stores or that high street chemist chain, get some tips and advice on what suits you and do the make up yourself? x

- CommentAuthorCharmainey88
I haven't really thought about a price I want to spend but as my hair is short I really want to get hair extensions put in to. Need to figure out are budget for the whole wedding first. How has everyone worked out how much they can spend on the wedding? X

Can't wait for my happy ever after
- CommentAuthorMrsLJDeaton
I have not really thought of the price as I Know I will be getting my hair and make up done so will my SIL deffo one of my bridesMaid dunnoe about the other 3 they may want to get there hair done before the wedding with their actual hair dresser as they have afro hair and always go to there same hairdresser they trust so I will have to wait and see will start looking soon =D ♥ X

You girls are finding bargains! I have 4 bridesmaid and myself and I've been quoted £300 hair and the same for make up! x
- CommentAuthorCoconut
Hrrmm, could do my own make up but I'd rather not in a way.

I've had quotes of 150 for hair just for me which is extortionate! Need to find someone cheaper :)
- CommentAuthorAussieLinz
I've been quoted around £350 by 2 different people for both hair and make up for me and my 3 bridesmaids. My venue is quite far out so that includes travel as well. I wasn't sure if that was good or not but it seems to be compared to other sites I've looked at!
- CommentAuthorDefinatelyDead
I'm paying £100 for both at my home and free for my girls hair. If I get my nails done that's another £50
- CommentAuthorxbeckix88
My make up is costing £25. And luckily my friend is a hairstylist so said would charge around £50 for mine and 4 bms and do free trials :-)

Shop around & get plenty of quotes some places charge silly amounts xxxxx
- CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
i was really lucky as my stylist did my BM`s and my hair as a wedding present and bare minerals did the same for our makeup

I'm doing my own makeup as I feel like having too many people fussing about me on the day will only lead to more stress...plus I want my makeup to be fairly natural and I just don't see the point when I can do it quite well myself...
On the flip side off that, good quality long stay make up can be quite expensive, I reckon it'll probably not work out much cheaper tbh xx

It's £200 for me and £60 for each bridesmaid. But most people I looked at charged similar prices.

- CommentAuthorbarbie86
My make-up is costing £185 for trial and on-the-day, hair I'm not sure yet, but anything from £100-150, again for trial plus on the day, plus travel. So, £300 ish for both?
- CommentAuthorVickie
Got a friend at work who going to charge me £50 for me and MOH to have make up done, my aunt who is a hairdresser going to do MOB and younger BM (her daughter) hair and make up. Going to get a friend of hers who specialists in wedding hair to do mine and MOH who will charge.

As for nails and waxing etc, going to ask Spa where I work see if they will give me an extra discount to what I normally have as I am 'bulk' buying as they say.

Hoping no more than £150 in total for everything.

- CommentAuthorCoconut
I thnk cheltenham must just be silly money :(
- CommentAuthorIzzy_w
Yep! I'm finding the same issue! Problem is that my hairdresser wants £60 per hour to travel from Chelt to my venue near evesham... Then £80 for my hair on the day, £50 for trial. The prob is that I dont know anyone in Evesham and not sure I can trust someone I dont know.I also have to pay for 2 bridesmaids! On the upside, I have a friend who is a beautician who will do my make up cheap....
- CommentAuthorCoconut
Yeah that's my issue izzy. Although I don't have a hairdresser that I use regularly so still looking. I don't have any friends that do hair or make-up :( x
- CommentAuthorIzzy_w
Well, I found one lady at a fair that I really liked. She was a wedding specialist and Im pretty sure she didnt charge a travel fee. Tried to book her but she was on hols on my date :-( I can give you her details if you like. Her hair ideas were amazing. Really different (in a good way!!) I found I am much more comfortable picking people I get on with (and will calm me on the day!) I spoke to a lady from one of the top places in Chelt and hated her attitude.... She had a book of wedding styles from the 80's and said you can have any of these!! I can give you the details of a couple of good hairdressers in town, (one I use to cut my hair regularly) and another who I met at a fair and really liked them.... Felt they would listen. Either way, with the professionals, whether I pick the guys I noramlly use, or the others I think I am going to end up paying for the trip.... It sucks completely! x
- CommentAuthorAbbieB56
I'm a freelance makeup artist so I am doing my own makeup, is strange as im usually booked to do other peoples weddings and am now doing my own! :) x
- CommentAuthorCoconut
Aww if you wouldn't mind izzy that would be fantastic :). I know what you mean - I really want to look like a polished me not a different person!

Abbie, that will be a little strange I'm sure! Wish I could do that and then I would save so much money! Xx
- CommentAuthorIzzy_w
Posted on your wall..... The ladys website doesnt do her justice - she was happy to travel to my hotel in Chipping Campden and so think she'd be fine to get to your venue x
- CommentAuthorStacyT
so far been quoted £35 for my hair £20 for bridesmaids i have 4. so £115. hair trials are £12 then im only having my make up done that is £30. the girls have the choice to pay for their own. x

Cant wait to become Mrs Ellerington!!!!!
- CommentAuthorCoconut
Cool thanks Hun.

Stacey - thats more the price I was looking for!

X
- CommentAuthorRachy
I'm paying £120 for my hair and make up on the day, £65 for the trial. My bridesmaids will be £65 for hair and make up on the day. Its much more than I thought I'd be paying but she comes recommended from one of my bridesmaids who got married recently and to be honest I couldnt find much cheaper! Bridesmaids are paying for their own luckilly!!! xx
- CommentAuthorCoconut
Fair enough. Unfortunately I don't have any friends who have been married in this area to ask and I really begrudge paying that much when I only want a few curls :)
- CommentAuthorRachy
Yeah I'm pretty picky to be honest so its something id rather feel confident about!

Good luck with it all! x
- CommentAuthorCoconut
Thanks Hun x
- CommentAuthornatalie2614
I am paying £50 for hair for me and two bridesmaids but she's the sister of a bm.

I'm having a make up trial,and make up on the day for £85, BMs are £25 each on the day as well as mother of the bride we have to pay travel costs of £20 xx

Married my best friend 05.04.2013
- CommentAuthorMrs C to be!
Sme of these fees sound quite reasonable. I'm in bristol, and at the moment a number of places are coming in at 150-200 for my hair and make up on the day. Bridesmaids near 100 for both. It's crazy!
- CommentAuthorInDreamland
I'll be spending just under £300 for me and two BM's to have hair and makeup. The makeup and hair lady though is amazing, she did my sisters wedding and she also works for London Fashion Week on the models so I think I'm getting a brilliant package and price xx

Married the love of my life on Saturday 11th May 2013 xxx
Had our dream perfect honeymoon in Hawaii!
- CommentAuthorLulu1388
My hairdresser is doing my hair my moms and my 2 bms for £34 pp & my fg for free, not charging call out or sunday service as she has known me my whole life! then got my 2 BMs and me for make up on day them £45 each & me £65 but I've then got a trial for me at £55 & mom trial at £25. If she wants on day just pay an extra £25.
