    Getting married in November and recently started looking at prices for hair and makeup on my big day. Originally said i would just do it myself but after looking at pics of myself half way thru a day or a night out ive realised it wont be good enough and dont want to be looking back on my pics thinking i look horrid. Need to try and find someone mobile as my wedding is a sunday and salons wont be open. Live in North East England. Does anyone have any tips or does anyone local know of anybody reasonable??? :)

    I can't help for your area but I managed to find a mobile that is doing hair and make up for £30 per person. Trials are also £30 per person for hair and make up but I can't complain when most of them was wanting £60 just to do my hair on the day. I've also seen the work she has done for other people on their big days so I know she does a good job as they have told me. If anyone is in the Nuneaton area then message me and I will send you the details. She will travel a little further to Brum etc if you have enough people that need doing to make it worth her time.

    I know it's crazy- I paid for my hair and make up as I was bridesmaid last year and it was stunning and miles better than I could have done; it's worth it (but pricey!!). x

    i would look at mobile hairdressers/make-up artists

    also look on net mums as they have a section you can look for these in your specific area. you may have to join its free but well worth it! i've found our new "beautician" on there!

    hi, i have booked mine this year to get this years prices for next year. Its madness how much they charge but im getting the make up for my BM for £35 pp and that includes a trial and i am having airbrush makeup which should be £70 but i am getting it for £55 inc the trial so not too bad especially when i have looked at what others are charging (£70 and then your trial ontop). OUr hair will be £18 and then £18 for a trial xx
