Hair/Makeup Rec's in Boston- Price??

Hey there,

Does $100/head sound average for a someone to come to your hotel to do hair? Seems like a lot- but not sure!

Does anyone have a good rec for a some to do hair for a Boston wedding- my hotel is in Cambridge. Also looking for good make-up rec's, thanks!!

    We were $90/head for a long hairstyle/updo-- seems pretty standard. Short hair/blowout styles were less ($65). Charlotte Phinney did hair for moms, maids, and me, along with MAC airbrush makeup for several of us.  It held up beautifully.  Her contact info is in my planning bio under "vendors."

    We used Gina Joubert for our wedding, and she charges $100 for the bride and $75 for BMs.  You can read my review and check out my trial and day of hair pics in my bio.  Here's her website

    I'm working with Special Event Beauty. Their prices are on their website www.specialeventbeauty.com. They are coming to my venue in Boston and not charging any travel fees.

    Oh, just saw you were looking for makeup recs too.  We used Sam from Girly Junk.  Pics and review in bio for her as well.

    I found prices between $125-$150 for on-site hair AND make-up. There were more affordable prices if you booked the hair and make-up separately.

    I'm using Special Event Beauty as well.  Depending on how many people you are having, they lower their prices a bit if you have 5 or more doing both, definitely check them out!

    I also used Special Event Beauty.  I can't remember the exact prices but that seems about right.  Maybe a little more for me and a little less for the BM's.

    Hi I think that sounds reasonable. I am using I DO and I think its $85 for mine and $70 for each of my girls. They are coming to my mothers I don't know about a travel fee though, I should look. www.idoweddinghairnewengland.com i think the pricing is on thier website.

    If you're still looking for makeup artists, try Katrina Hess or Dani Wagener (sp), both have studios on Newbury St.  I worked with Katrina and highly recommend her.  I've also seen Dani's work and it's perfection.

    If you are still looking-
    Jaime from Luce salon in Needam came to my hotel for hair, super nice and our hair looked great. The bm's were 65, mine was 100, and the travel fee was 100 too i think. I'm not sure if they do make up or not!
