On site wedding day hair, makeup, nails

curmie

Hi! I would like to have someone come to the hotel to do mine and my bridesmaids' hair, makeup and nails. Does anyone have any recommendations of people/teams who do something like this and don't charge an arm and a leg for it? Also, I was thinking of having this be my gift to my bridesmaids...what are your thoughts on that? Thanks!

Beauty on Call is a great company to work with, although I can't remember if they do nails or not.  I'm not sure what constitutes a lot, but they charged $75pp for the BMs and $125 for the bride but that includes the trial.  Whether that is a good gift for your friends depends on them.  I know some people can be pretty particular about their makeup and they might rather do it themselves.  Also I don't know how much of a gift it is since this is all for your wedding.  Maybe treating them all to a massage would be a better idea.

I used Sonia Roselli for makeup and Livia Caporale for hair and highly recommend both.   I don't know your price range, though. I would personally try to do nails the day before if possible.  You won't want to worry about sitting around for your nails to dry or worry about smudging them that morning.I think that's very sweet if you want to give this to your bridesmaids, but I would try to give them another tangible gift if possible.  Something that is not actually FOR your wedding, but is instead a thank you for being your friend and for being there for you that day.I gave my bridesmaids a different present and gave them the option to pay for hair/makeup, but did not require any of them to have this service done. Good luck with your decision!
