I've had the same hairstylist for 10 years, so when I got engaged naturally it was a given she'd be the one doing my hair. We both were really excited and actually began planning wedding hair styles and trying looks out and everything. Well, due to some family issues she's had to move across the country to another coast this spring. She said that she'd still come back to town to do my hair, because it will provide her an opportunity to attend my wedding and visit her friends in town. Now that the wedding is approaching I'm trying to decide whether or not I should be footing the bill for her flight, hotel, and for the hair styling? On one hand, she made the agreement to be my wedding stylist well before she decided to move out of town. On the other hand, the cost to attend the wedding will be considerably more than she will earn for doing my hair. So from a business standpoint I don't think it really makes sense for her. I was thinking I could pay for her hotel costs and the cost to do my hair if she pays for the flight. Or if I pay for the hotel and flight, that would be my cost for the hair styling. What do you all think? What portion should I be responsible for? We have not discussed it and I want to be fair to her, but I also don't want to pay more than necessary. Any advice?
