XP: Go to salon or have stylist come to us?

Can I hear some outside opinions on these options? Pros, cons, your experiences?

My stylist will only charge $10/person extra for her to come to us, whereever we'd like. I think this is a pretty good deal. I will be having hair and makeup, as will my grandma, FMIL, and most likely 2 out of 4 BMs. I will cover the cost of her travel fees, but then everyone will be responsible for the cost of their style and/or makeup. Obviously I made professional styling optional. 

I was thinking this would be nice so that all of us could get ready together, even the ladies not using professional services (my other 2 BMs and my other grandmother). I was also going to provide some snack trays (sandwiches, veggies, fruit, etc) for everyone to munch on, since I'm asking them to get ready at a time they'd usually eat (have to be ready for pictures by 1:45, so we have to start getting ready pretty early, probably around 8, she thinks).

Everyone seems down with this idea, but I just want some outside opinions. The stylist's shop is 20 mins away, which isn't terrible by any means, but I just thought it'd be nice for us to be where we need to be.

I went to the salon for my hair.  I would rather be where the stylist is most comfortable and has everything there, not just what she anticipates needing.

Your plan sounds nice so I would say have the person go to your house. I just spoke with a friend who had her stylist go to her house and she said it was more convenient. 

I'll most likely be going to the salon because i'm booking kind of late so i'm following the schedules of the hair and make up artist.

I would prefer to do it at my house or wherever i am getting ready.  I feel like it is going to give me more time at the place I am actually getting ready.  I will also be more comfortable at my parents house and if the hair stylist is a good stylist then she will know exactly what to bring with her. 

And you wil know for sure at your home that you and your party and family will be getting 100% of the stylists attention, too!

And it is very thoughtful to have munchies for the girls.

We're having all the hair/makeup people come to us. I think it's so much easier than having to run to the salon!
