  I know the general rule that you don't tip if the person is the owner of the business -- does that also apply to Hair & Makeup? What about for trials?
  
  Some examples for me - H&MU - 2 people.  Hair lady owns the company. she picks from her MUA friends (they are NOT employees - depending on availability) to join her for makeup. I have a separate contract for hair and makeup, even though its all coordinated through the hair lady. Not sure how to work this one.
  
  Photographer -- main guy owns the company. He will bring an assistant, and the assistant will be getting a tip.
  
  Thanks!
  

  I would tip the H & MU like I would any hairdresser I went for a haircut. For me that's 20%. They are providing a personal service and unless they have a contract that says gratuity is included in the contract rate then you should tip. I would never not tip my hairdresser if they owned the salon, I think that suggestion is getting passé.

  
  

  I would tip the photo assistant that night for sure. Most people suggesting waiting until you get the photos to tip the primary photog.

  Both my photographer and my MUA owned their own business and I still tipped them. My hairdresser worked my wedding on the side, and I still tipped her. 

  
  

  I would never not tip MUA, hairdressers, nail people etc.
