In Need of Hair & Makeup Recommendations

Booksy

I'll start by saying that I looked in the recommendation post at the top of the page already - there are only 2 viable web addresses; one is WAY too far from me, and the other is ridiculously expensive. I refuse to pay $400+ (someone please tell me I'm not alone!) for hair & makeup.

With that said, any recommendations for hair & makeup in the Boulder area, or someone who is willing to travel to the Boulder area? Our wedding is at 10 AM; I have to be ready & on my way to Boulder for pictures at 8:00 AM. I'd really like to find someone who will come to my home in Erie, and whose price includes a trial run. I'd like to think that asking to spend around $200 (for just me) isn't asking too much.

I don't have a regular stylist who cuts my hair, as I'm fairly new to town and I've been salon-hopping trying to find someone I like to cut it. Does anyone have a great girl or guy at their regular salon, or just a great salon, that they would recommend to do a wedding? Any help is majorly appreciated!!

Check out www.beautyonlocationbyliz.com. Liz was super nice, talented and affordable! Loved her! Plus she'd come to you..

Thanks for the suggestion Heywhitney, but according to Liz's website I am looking at paying at least $350 for her services, which I just can't afford. I really appreciate the reply, though!

do you have a friend or family member who is really good with make up and hair?

i think that would save tons of money, because i know most the cost is time, not the actual make-up

if you are able to do those things by yourself or have a family member, you could cut way down on cost

Hi there,
You may look into some of the local beauty colleges.  Maybe a student who is almost finished with training would be able to do a good job and cut a deal for you.  Just a suggestion.

I am going to Ulta $30 for makeup and $50-$60 for hair. Good deal everyone is talented.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I ended up calling around salons here in Boulder and booked a trial with Theresa at Voodoo Hair Lounge. She did the most ridiculously gorgeous updo on me. I love it! She is charging me $125 for hair & makeup on the day of. Not too bad!
