Hair/MU person that comes to you?

I tried to book Ashely with Updo's for I do's but she's booked for the afternoon and I don't want to have to be ready by 11am (our ceremony isn't until 5 pm).

Does anyone have any other recc's for someone that will come to our hotel and do both?

Her prices were $60 for hair/MU trial and then $275 for both day of, and $80 for hair for BM and $70 for MU for them.  I'd like to keep it to this price (or cheaper!) since that's what I'd already told the girls.

TIA!

    I used two seperate people, but the prices came out similar. I highly recommend both:

    m/u Ana Merces - trial was $70, but if you book her, she puts half that toward your day-of cost. I paid $145 for day-of, and had one BM get m/u done, which was $75. If you have more than 3 bms get theirs done the price for yours and theirs goes down.

    hair - Julie Jackson. I paid $80 for trial, $85 for day-of and BM's paid $75 each for day-of.

    These prices were from quotes almost a year ago, so they might be slighly different now, but it should give you a good idea.

    I booked Terri (Face by Terri) for $90 for both hair and make up if you have 4 other girls doing both.  it's $110 if you do'nt have at least 4 other girls.

    We used Nena's Special Occasions Hair and Make-Up.  She was willing to come to our location (even though there were only two of us), and did a great job.  (See picture of my wife's hair, below.)  She charged $40 per person for hair, and $20 per person for make-up, and did a free trial.

    I'm using Perry Warren for both hair and makeup.  He has great reviews and is super nice (I went to him for regular haircut).

    I 2nd the idea of having separate hair and MU people. It just makes scheduling SO much easier and I also think it ends up being around the same price if you book the right people.
    Did you try Aisha from Picture Perfect Makeup? I found her from recs on this board and she is giving us a really good group rate for on-location services.  I didn't even have to pay up front for the trial run!

    For hair, I am using my cousin from out of town since she is a hairstylist, but before she committed to doing that I researched Thania from Tru Beauty and hair by Giselle, both had awesome work on their sites!

    Good luck!

    I'm using Carla Pressley - she does both and comes to you.  Not sure of her 2010 prices but her 2009 prices were $200 for the brides hair/mu, $75 for the trial, $75 for bm/mom hair and $75 for mu. 

    GL!
