Budgeting time for hair & makeup at wedding

Hi Ladies,

So, I have hired a salon to do our hair and makeup at the bed & breakfast we'll be staying at before the wedding.  I have 7 people total (including the Moms) that will need their hair done and 5 people getting their makeup done.  There will only be 1 stylist and 1 makeup artist.  How long do you think it will take to get hair done for 7 people (both the Moms have pixie cut hair) and the makeup for 5 of us? 

Thanks for your help!

Re: Budgeting time for hair & makeup at wedding

  • It usually depends on the length of hair and what each person wants done. But just to be safe I would figure at least 1/2 hour for each person. If someone has long hair I would say about 45 minutes. Make up takes a shorter amount of time to apply probably about 10-15 minutes but I'm sure while one person is getting their hair done another can be getting their make up done ect.
  • Just to clarify- all 4 bridesmaids will be doing half up half down do's so I don't know if that would take a shorter amount of time.
  • To be safe, I would probably budget 45 minutes per person for hair and makeup.
  • I'd budget a hell of a lot more than 45 minutes for BOTH hair and makeup. good hair would probably take 45 minutes by itself. makeup, probably a half hour for formal makeup.

    I'm sending thoughts and prayers for your hair and makeup people. they're going to be pooped.
