  I used Ivette Wellman for airbrush makeup. I think when all was said and done, I had paid $185 for day-of services for myself and $60 for my trial. Her travel fee was included in the bridal package price. http://www.ivettewellman.com/
  
  For hair, I used Beauty Entourage. The travel fee from New Britain to Milford was $85 and my trial was $65 I believe. My day-of hair cost $80. www.beautyentourage.com
  
  I tipped on top of these prices, and the prices may have changed (increased) over the past year. I know that Ivette has increased her prices.

  I'm paying $155 per person for travel, morning airbus makeup and hair.  Then again I'm doing this is Vegas, where I think this may be more common.  When looking I found the price ranged from $100 per person to almost $400 per person.

  I'm using Naomi for my makeup. I choose the bridal package 1 (for $15 less you don't have to choose a package at all)
  The travel fee is $50 from west hartford to cromwell. The total is $215. My trial was $65 but that goes towards the whole package.
  
  As for my hair, Angela (from Naomi's salon) charges $100 for bridal and I'm not sure on the travel fee. I am assumin its around $50.
  I may not even do a hair trial because it will cost $70 and it doesn't go towards the day of style. All I want is my air down with loose curls so I really don't need a trial
  
  so overall for hair and makeup it will be $315 for me

  I am using Beauty Entourage for travel makeup alone. I will be getting the airbrush and my 3 BMs will be getting the traditional application. When it is all said and done, factoring in travel I will be paying about $300 for all 4 of us including the travel fee. I am not sure how much the cost would have increased for hair services, but think that I would be approaching probably the $500 mark.
  
  Also, the trial was about $70. I would recommend visiting the beauty entourage website for exact pricing because I think that there was a slight increase at the beginning of this year.
  
  Although it seems like it is a lot of money for makeup, its worth it! I had a wonderful experience with my trial and have heard nothing but great reviews from other brides who opted to have their makeup done professionally.

  I'm using Dana Bartone and I paid $55 for my makeup trial and I believe the makeup on the day is $100 or so.  Her travel fee is $85.  Makeup will be $65 for my BMs with one of her associates.  All her prices are on her website.  She's soooo fabulous and made me feel so secure that I made the right choice.
  
  I also did a trial with Ivette Wellman and did not have a good result (with the makeup or other issues... if you want the details PM me, but I don't want to air the issue here).  Quite a few girls have used her and loved her, and I've also talked to others that had the same result I had.  I suggest if you want to use her, do a trial first before signing a contract because she does not return deposits (or emails or phonecalls for that matter... I contacted her a few weeks after my trial and over a year before the wedding to cancel and she has refused to give any response that she has released my date. She refuses to respond to multiple calls and emails.  She's done the same thing with my wedding coordinator too that offered to take on the task of confirming the cancellation.  I find that to be bad business practice and really petty).  She also doesn't have a regular full time associate, so if you need makeup done for a larger group, it can be difficult... oh, and she doesn't do hair so you'd have to find an additional person to do hair.
  
  I know it can get expensive, and for me it was just too much to pay for everyone's hair and makeup in addition to everything else that I'm paying for for them.  The way I have handled that is that I let my BMs know that I will be bringing in someone to do hair and makeup and if they would like theirs done, the price is $xx.  They then all chose on their own whether they wanted it and knew that if they did, it would be their responsibility to pay for it.

  I'm using Beauty Entourage for both hair and make up.
  Travel fee from new Britain to Farmington was $65.00
  I'm doing airbrush which is $190 for the trial and the day of the wedding
  Hair will be $150 w/the trial and day of the wedding
  total $405 plus tips
  
  I figure that seems about right considering its basically 4 appts. 2 w/the make up artist and 2 with the hair stylist. (trial and day of the wedding)
  
  Highly recommend them. Ashley has been great to work with so far and I LOVED my trial.  I think in the end whatever the price range your in that you have a good feeling about who you choose. GL!!
