Recommendation for on-site hair and makeup artist?

Hello, 

I still have over 9 months til my wedding, but I figured, I can slowly look for a hair and makeup artist. I would prefer someone who offers both services and can travel on-site (eliminates the morning hassle to travel to vendors on my wedding day). I’ve contacted Bella Angel so far, since they offer both services on-site…however, their prices were so expensive (at least for my budget). $130 for makeup and hair trial, then $200 for both on wedding day. So with tip, I would spend like $400 just for those two services – my mother and any additional bridemaids not even included yet. Do you have any recommendations but at a cheaper price range – who still offer great service? 
Thanks!!

    I am using Megan Cahill for Hair and Dylan Michael's Cosmetics for make-up. I know they are not a 2 in 1 service but they are both reasonably priced compared to others I looked into and they travel to you. However, they do book up fast. I don't think 9 months is too soon at all to book these services when you want them to come to you.

    I used Dylan Michael for MU and my mom's hair dresser for hair, she came to my parents' house.  
    I had Casey from DM and I loved loved her!  I can't say enough good things about DM.

    I'm using Duette, and I think they're more reasonable than Bella Angel.  When I booked in April they were having a promo, which I'm not sure if they're still running.  But their regular price is $125 for brial hair, $50 for trial, and $110 for makeup, $50 for trial.  For bridesmaids, $100 for hair, $85 makeup.  The bride's stuff is a little more because of their travel costs, I guess.   Haven't had my trial yet, but they've been really great so far with communicating and discussing styles.
