Suggestions Needed. Make up and Hair Woes

Sorry this turned into a novel So I did my hair trail with Panache....It was pretty bad, I booked it with Cassandra, whom is supposed to be one of their better stylist. I specificly told her she would have to use a lot of product to make my curls hold, and she didn't. Not to mention I was unimpressed m the style for the 3 hours it stayed. On top of everything else I was told the hair AND make up TRIAL would be a total of $85, the tried to charge me $85 for just the hair....Of and they also informed my if they come on site the prices are DOUBLE, I thought that was a little excessive.So on to the question...Does anyone have suggestions for Hair and Make up that is in the same price range as Panache? I've noticed most of the hair and Make up people in the area charge $150 for just hair and $150 for just make up. I can't afford that for myself and 4 girls... so do I have any other options?Thanks ladies!!

    Just a thought in case you can't find anyone, maybe you could just get your hair done and let the girls do their own.  I'm sure they'll still look gorgeous.

    Navy that is an option...I'm not requiring my girls to get their hair and make up done, I just thought it would be a nice gift and a great way to get pampered before the wedding. We may have to do it that way... Although I';ll prob. do my own hair and make up if I can't find someone cheaper. I just can't see spending that much I'm something I can do myself.

    That is too bad you didn't have a good experience with them, and very unusual from everything I have heard. I have no other suggestions except that I am doing my own make-up because I can't afford it and I think I do makeup pretty well. .I booked hair appts for my BMs but if they want to do their own hair I won't care, a good sraightener can make anyone's hair look nice.

    Thanks I did contact Darlene but our schedules just don't seem to work out for me to do a trial. :( I actually found someone that is in Tampa and willing to travel for only $50 fee. :) Works out great!! Thanks for the suggestions though!

    I know how you feel..I just had my first hair trial this weekend and it was really bad (it took her 4 hours to do one style and it didn't even come out good!) I'm glad I did it early on because now I know I can't use my regular hairdresser and can start looking for someone else.  I don't know about people in St. Augustine, but a friend of mine has used Curl up n Dye (in Mandarin, Jax) for many weddings so I'm going to set up a consult there.  They do travel for weddings and I'm not sure what their prices are  but they quoted me anywhere from $50-100 for depending on length of hair and style.  You can google them for the phone number.

    Thanks ladies! Ashley - it's actually not that I want a complicated updo, it's that I'm still not 100% sure what I want so I really want to do a trial to test some things out. Also I'm REALLY weird about my hair :) (like I have anxiety when I get it cut colored, no matter how confident I am in my stylist lol... I think I've had one too many bad hair cuts)
