Hi ladies
I'm pricing up hair and make up. So expensive.
Do you think it would be cheeky to ask my bridesmaids to pay for there hair and make up trial? Xx
- CommentAuthorElliekitty
I'm asking my bridesmaid to pay for their own, however have said if they can't afford they can do it themselves xx

No, but I agree if they can't afford it I'd let them skip it.
- CommentAuthorbarbie86
I'm not paying for their hair or make-up; they're all really good at doing their own, so, will just be doing their own.

Personally I feel the same about hair and make-up as I do about dresses: if you are insisting on a certain style, you should pay, if you're happy to let them have pretty much free-reign, and would be fine with them doing their hair and make-up themselves, then you can leave the ball in their court, and if they want it doing professionally, they can pay.

My MOH paid for hers, one of my daughters and my step daughter done their own and my other daughter had hers done and I paid but only as she overdue a hair cut anyway so was a two in one job.

I think its fine to let them pay or do it themselves x x

I paid for my sil2b as it was only us to that had the trial as the other two bridesmaids couldn't make it. So I didn't mind doing that.

We are paying for 6 hair and 6 make up which comes to just over £500 but I'm a control freak and I want to be happy with the way they look. I've know my hairdresser for years she is a friend really and I've been recommended to the make up artist and she is just brilliant. I told her how I wanted to look and how I wanted the bridesmaid to look and that's what we did. I don't mind too much about paying.

I would just say to them if you want a hair and makeup trial you will have to pay for it. I'm sure they will be happy to pay.

Cant wait until I become Mrs K

I had them pay for their hair, one opted to get a friend to do hers. And a friend of mine who works in body shop borrowed loads of testers and did our makeup for free
- CommentAuthorLulu1388
I am paying for their hair and make up on the day, and have told them that there is no make up trial booked for them but if they want one that they will have to pay for it themselves as surely they can understand. but the woman said she does a small consultation with them on the day anyways! and both of my BM's wear more makeup than me and kind of know what works/doesnt work for them so should be easy going on the day for them!

Its up to you what you do or dont pay for... it never used to be about the BM's. Many hairdressers and make up artists would be booked for the Bride herself but then maybe hair would do the BM's, but they tended to do their own make up, now many brides offer to do it on the day as part of their thank you to their BM's instead of getting a more expensive gift!

No it's not. I'm not paying for any of my bridesmaids to have a trial. I am paying for their hair on the day, but not their make up.
- CommentAuthorRosyF77
I think its fair enough-mine actually offered but if for some reason they cant afford it then they can always do there own xx
- CommentAuthorlozzatea
Right now I have another problem.
2 of my BMs said they are fine to pay. One of them said she doesn't know If she can afford it? Help :-(
- CommentAuthorkatielea100
im training l2 hairdressing so im doing all my Bms and my own hair and my brothers friend is doing our make up for free :)
- CommentAuthorstarbabe78
Lozzatea could your other bridesmaid not give you say a £1 a week till she has saved enough up to cover the price am sure she wont miss that and you do have a few months till the wedding. x
- CommentAuthorJessicaW22
One of my bridesmaids is a hair and make up artist so she is doing mine for me as my wedding gift, to be honest I haven't even thought about the other girls... I have been a bridesmaid three times in my adult life and have always done my own hair and make up so I just assumed that they will do their own :)
I don't really think it's something the Bridesmaids would assume that you would pay for, everyone knows how much weddings costs and I'm sure they wouldn't want to add to the cost. x
- CommentAuthorlizzylou
I agree with barbie86 - i think if you are insisting they have to a a partiuclar style that they can't do themselves then really you should pay for it but otherwise they can either choose to have it done by a professional or do it themselves. When i was a bridesmaid last year i'm rubbish at hair so I said i'd be quite happy to pay for someone to do it for me where as one of the other girls was confident she could do her own so didn't bother. I just went with the bride to have her hair done and had mine done as well. As, I say i'm totally rubbish at hair so i was only to happy to pay rather than look a mess. The Bride didn't insist on it though, she said it was fine if we wanted to do it ourselves. xx
