Hair & Makeup Budget?

Hi Vancouver Brides!

I'm wondering what is reasonable for bridal hair and makeup? I've been checking out some salons and I don't quite know what to expect.

What are you planning on spending? What's normal?
Thanks!

    I'm currenly looking for someone to do hair and make up too.

    It seems like for hair and make up who comes to your location range around $200? but I find they charge more if they know you're a bride. And I haven't tried anyone yet, so don't really know who's good.

    I've heard of brides who go to the MAC counter at the Bay and if they like the outcome, then ask the associate if they do freelance jobs? I'm tempted to try that and see what they say =P

    Thanks for the input!
    Trying MAC might not be a bad idea, I wonder what the cost difference would be. I really like a girl right now who comes to you for hair and makeup and she charges $250. Seemed more than I expected but maybe it's not that outrageous.
    I'll keep doing my research.

    Thanks!

    Contact Brendan from www.beauty-a-go-go.com

    He's quite reasonable and very good!  Also mobile.

    He has been doing my hair for quite some time and he will be doing my wedding hair in June.

    I'm having my hair and makeup done by different salons.  My makeup is being done by Michelle Sheremeta http://www.michellesheremetamakeup.com/ for $75 (she came highly recommended) and then my hair is also $75....sounds like I got a deal!

    In the end I found Mandy Lau. She does both hair and make up mobile. http://ms-makeup.webs.com/
    I find her prices are pretty reasonable. And after the consultation I knew I was in good hands =)

    Its worth checking out as she can come to your location instead of you having to go to a salon!

    Also, if you book, mention that Steph referred you Smile

    Congrats and have fun
  • I have found that if you are willing to go INTO a Salon, the price is lower. We are getting married near Kelowna... every mobile stylist seemed to want to charge $200+ per woman, for both hair and makeup...

    But then I found Cream Salon in downtown Kelowna... and they charge $125 for both!!

    Needless to say, we are going to just go into the salon.
