who is not paying for the BM's hair/makeup?

Unfortunately I really don't have it in my  budget to pay for everyone to have their hair done.  I'm not requiring my bridesmaids to have their hair done professionally. The only requirement is that it's either half up or all the way up.  So that being said, it's completely up to them what they want to chose.  Since this is what I am doing, should I let them know i'm making an appointment for my hair and ask if they want appointments too, or just let them make their own appointment if they want?  I'm really torn on how to handle this situation and would love to pay for them to all have hair done but with me not working, it's been hard enough as it is paying for things for the wedding.

I am paying for $30 of whatever they decide to do just hair or hair and makeup.

I am only paying for my own hair and I may do it myself. I have one girl that wants a blowout & she will have the lady do it if I get her (on site stylist) and she will pay her own. The other 2 have already said they're doing their own which is fine by me.

I'm not paying for my girls' hair or make-up.  I did appointments for all of the girls that wanted to get their hair and/or make up done though. I definitely recommend including them in your appointment.  I'd just send out an email or text and ask who wants it done so you can schedule them in.

All of my girls wanted to get hair and make-up done either way.  I am going to pay a small deposit ($25) for each girls make-up but that will be it.  I cannot afford to do much more since I already got a bunch of stuff for BM gifts.

I would like to pay for everyone's hair, but that may or may not happen.  I do have to pay a deposit for everyone who is getting hair done when I do my trial, so at most their updo will be $30, or half price.

I'm not paying for anything. Its not traditional in my area. However I am kind of paying for their hair for the fact that I am getting a family friend to do the hair for free but we will probably get her a giftcard to somewhere.  However 2/4 of my bm wanted to pay for full makeup and 2/4 didn't want to pay for makeup at all. However I wanted them all to get at least airbrush foundation for $30 so that they all look relatively the same and no one is washed out in pics. So yeah. They would pay any amount to get their hair done but because it is makeup they won't pay a dime. So I am going to tell them hair will cost $30 and then put that towards the foundation instead. Tricky yes but Idk. I made sacrifices to save them money with hair and so I feel like they should get over their bias against professional makeup.

I am not paying, but I am not making them get it done. I left it up to them. If they want to and have the money to get it done then thats great, if not that is ok too. I have one BM who doesn't wear makeup at all so I am not going to force her to wear it. I rarely wear it myself and will only being wearing it that day since its our wedding.

I didn't require it, so I am not paying for their hair and makeup. I offered them the option to book with my same onsite stylists if they'd prefer to do so. Out of my 7 bridesmaids, 5 are getting either hair, makeup, or both professionally done. I booked it for everyone, but they will be paying. I made it completely optional, but I didn't want anyone to feel left out so I definitely made them aware of the option.
