if youre just getting a blow out and reg make up, go to your hair salon and dont tell them youre in a wedding. make up get it done at the counter at mac or sephora.

typically 100 for each service if the person is hired for the wedding

I'm not sure there really is an average -- you'll get a range of responses here. The price charged is impacted by many factors -- how many people are getting their hair/makeup done (just the bridal party? bridal party and mother of the bride and mother of the groom?), how highly sought after the people are (some book months to even a year in advance and will likely charge more than others because of how desirable they are), if the makeup/hair people are traveling to come to you vs. everyone going to their studio, is the makeup traditional foundation or airbrush, are people getting false eyelashes, etc.

About 150 for both. If you are the bride, like 300 or more.

I agree. The word "wedding" adds a premium. A blowout shouldn't cost more than $40. And Bobbi Brown counters do an awesome job too!

Last wedding I paid $100 for each. Over the three times dd1 has been a flower girl she only got her hair done once and they didn't charge me at all (although they just did a quick style, no curls or anything).

Anything wedding will cost more.

I have paid $100-250 as a bridesmaid where someone comes to the hotel.

For 2 weddings, I just made an appt at a salon for a blow out and did my own make up. I think it cost me $40-50.

For most weddings I've been in, it's been between $150 - $200 for both hair and makeup.

For a flowergirl though I would expect it to be much much less. She should have minimal makeup, so maybe $40 for makeup and $50 for hair?

I just paid 150 for hair and make up for me, plus 50 for my daughter's hair. I also gave a tip.

Unfortunately I have to use the brides people because it's an out of town wedding and we need to be out there the day before. We are being charged $230 cash plus a cash tip . Flower girl is $100 cash plus a tip. Just hair as they are not doing makeup for the flower girls. So
330 total plus tip. What worries me even more is we have to pay in advance the morning of and there is only one girl and her asst to do the hair of the bride plus 10 people in 5 hours max. I'm sure it will be a rushed situation and worried my blowout will
Be a mess (I have thick curly hair) on top of shelling out the $$

In a wedding in a couple of months and it's costing $230 for hair and makeup. Sounds like a lot to me but that's what's happening lol.

Ugh I would not be happy about that. My SIL is in the process of wedding planning also out of town and it was going to be similar ridiculous pricing. I asked her to look into other options and she found something more reasonable. 10 people in 5 hrs seems very tight. Usually updo is like 1 hr appt.

Maybe you can see if nearby salon that can do a blow out, no way I'd be paying 230 for blow out and make up

$100 just for hair for the flower girl is excessively expensive IMO. I would just do it myself if that's the case.

I think that's definitely a lot.

I also don't know why brides "make" the BP use professional services - I was fine with whatever my girls wanted to do and I wasn't going to make them pay more if they didn't want to.

I recently was going to a wedding that took place early so the bride offered for me to use her hair/makeup person if I wanted to at the hotel. They were charging $80 for hair and $80 for makeup.
