Need on location hair/make up Recs...

Good morning everyone!

The person I was planning on using to do hair/make up for myself and hair for my bridesmaids and flower girl fell through. 

Does anyone know of any affordable stylists?

I had one stylist quote me 350 for hair/air brush make up (for me) and 150 for my trial, but 500 dollars just for me is too much.  I heard that 190 is the average rate for hair/ traditional make up, is that accurate?

I have a month left until the wedding and I'm kind of bugging out, because I know most people are booked by now.  *deep breath* Frown

    I used Jillyan and Michelle from Skin and Paint Bar for makeup.  They are very talented and wonderful to be around!  Michelle traveled to my house the morning of the wedding and Jillyan met me at my venue to touch up our makeup.  I highly recommend either one! The trial was $50.  I paid $150 for my makeup the day of (included travel fee and she traveled a hour to get to me).  My bridesmaids I believed paid either $65 or $75 which included airbrush and lashes.  I choose to have them come back and touch up everyones make up since it was a hot July day and I paid I believe $200 for everyone.  Skin and Paint Bar also has someone who does hair.   I used Mandy Liento for hair.  She was amazing!!  I highly recommend her.  I think I paid $165 the day of and my bridesmaids paid $90.  Let me know if you would like to see pictures.  Good luck! :)

    I used Jennifer from At Long Lash when I was in my friend's wedding last year and she was great!  It was the first wedding I was in (and I've been in alot) where I actually really liked my makeup.  I'm definitely going to use her for my wedding.  I paid $60 as a BM - not sure what she charged the bride, but I know it was reasonable.   

     She's in Fair Haven, but she'll travel.

    Where are you located? I am using Ricky who works out of MAC in Monmouth Mall. Both he and his assistant have been doing mine, my sisters, and my moms makeup for years. He takes $50 for trial and I think $125 for bride, $75 for BM. He doesn't do airbrush, but I always look amazing and he is doing my makeup next week for my wedding. I am getting married in that area, so he will be just coming to my hotel. PM me for his info if oyu are interested.

    I'm working with Donna from Amazing Face & Luscious Locks.  She is charging $150 for bridal hair and $150 for bridal make up. For the other gals she is charging $75 for both.  I believe her trial is $100 or $150 for hair and make up.  I highly recommend her!

    Try Simply Beautiful Makeup NJ they come mobile to the place.


    This is who we are going with. $85 for airbrush and I think it's $55 for my mom to have normal make up. My up-do is running about $100 and they are coming to us at the hotel.
    That is my trial picture, took my hair down because I didn't want my fiancee to see!
     LOVED how my lashes came out and it was included.
