New Jersey - South

What did you pay for hair and makeup

I'm posting this on the North and South Jersey boards to see if there is a significant difference.

I've started getting pricing on makeup and hair and I'm getting a bit of a sticker shock.  Like $125 for a Makeup Only Trial and $200 for the Makeup on the day of...

So if you wouldn't mind responding with:

Who did your Hair:
Approx Day of Cost:
Approx Trial Cost:
Approx BM Hair Cost:

Who did your Makeup:
Approx Day of Cost:
Approx Trial Cost:

    You definitely need to shop around a bit!  Off of my memory, I'll estimate here.  It should be pretty close.

    Who did your Hair:  Monkia Gallagher @ Salon Elite in Stone Harbor
    Approx Day of Cost:  $85 I think b/c I was the bride...
    Approx Trial Cost:  can't remember....
    Approx BM Hair Cost:  $65-75...long hair=$75

    Who did your Makeup:  Jessica Ross from MAC
    Approx Day of Cost:  $55 or 65...something like that, she came to me
    Approx Trial Cost:  $50, but I did it @ the MAC counter, so it was $50 worth of products!

    Another hair/make-up person who comes to you is Callie from Calista Brides.  I never see her name mentioned, but she did my BFF's wedding in AC.  She was fantastic; she did the bridesmaids, moms, and the bride...all in our suite.  You can google for her info, but her work was really nice.

    From what I've seen there is a different when it comes to demographics. I live in Northern NJ but reception and all family is in South. North prices are higher.
    I will be paying $45 for makeup Dora Crownson MAC Makeup Consultant (friend of the family tho)
    $60 for hair Megan from Tranquility Salon in Hainesport.

    I would call around.

    I don't know how much hair will cost just yet. It depends on how complicated it gets. Since I have just long hair I'm sure it will cost more as well.

    For make up, I don't know who will be doing it just yet but it will be $60.

    I'm using Kristine from The Little Touches out of Deptford. She comes to you and its $105 for hair and airbrush makeup. I loved everything from my trial. The trial was $40, but it goes towards the wedding day, so I will only pay 65$ on my day.
