Makeup!

[redfield79]

I have another "if I told you this what would you think" question! haha.

I have been talking with people about doing my Hair/Makeup here in the D.C. area and they've been giving me what I believe to be standard pricing based on other sites I've compared it to. I'm just wondering if this sounds outlandishly expensive or not?

Hair:Bridal Trial: $75

This might be my inexperience talking, but I don't really understand why the bride's hair would cost more than the bridesmaids' hair. The stylist we're using is charging the same rate for any special occasion hair. The prices are a tad higher than what I was quoted, but it's probably reasonable for the DC area (mine is central Iowa).

Oh! Sorry, the brides hair is 90 for an UPdo where the bridesmaids are going to have a DOWNdo(lol?) which to them is less expensive.

Oh, that makes sense!

Every place I got quotes from had a higher price for bridal hair. I suppose their explanation would be because the bride typically requires a complicated 'do and would need more time spent on them which could be true in some cases, but not all. My theory on why they charge more for bridal hair? Because they can.

OP: That's about what I paid. I paid slightly higher than the other quotes I received because A. The MA came to my house, and B. It was for airbrish make up (like your quote) and none of my other quotes offered airbrush. I'd say that's pretty reasonable seeing as how your in DC.

Yes! That and the brides also usually have some sort of headpiece that needs more dealing with than just regular do's. :)
