Taylor and her team are an absolute blast! Wedding days are really chaotic and can be stressful, and most of the time your makeup team is the first vendor of the day, so I’m so glad I chose Taylor to do our hair and makeup. Not only is Taylor and her team professional and amazing at what they do, but they were extremely fun and sweet too. Having such a friendly team really eased the stress of the morning and made it so that it didn’t feel like an overwhelming production but just a fun morning with the girls getting pretty and ready for a party. I felt like the most beautiful bride and getting our hair and makeup done wasn’t just a part of the day, it’s a happy memory now that makes me smile and laugh when I think back on how much fun we all had with them. I 10000/10 recommend Taylor and her team for your wedding makeup and hair. I can’t thank them enough.

Eva and Maria from Hairs 2 the Bride, LTD truly saved the day for us! The night before our wedding, when our original makeup/hair artist had to cancel last minute, Eva and Maria stepped in and worked their magic. Despite their busy schedule, they managed to fit us in and did an exceptional job, making us look absolutely perfect on our special day. Their professionalism and skill were evident throughout the entire process. We were impressed by their attention to detail and how they listened to our preferences, ensuring that we felt comfortable and confident with the final look. Eva and Maria's ability to adapt to unexpected situations like ours is truly commendable. Although the last-minute change was a bit stressful, the seamless way in which Eva and Maria handled everything provided us with a sense of relief and confidence. The only neutral aspect we would mention is that due to the short notice, there wasn't much time for a trial session before the wedding. However, Eva and Maria's expertise and quick grasp of our style preferences made this a minor concern in the end. In the end, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Eva and Maria's professionalism, talent, and calm demeanor turned what could have been a crisis into a blessing in disguise. We are incredibly grateful for their amazing work and would highly recommend Hairs 2 the Bride, LTD to any couple looking for top-notch hair and makeup services for their big day.

I lived my whole life, thinking that make up is not for me because every time I got it professionally done, I felt completely disappointed. This is UNTIL I worked with Alina. She did the most beautiful make up for me without changing my unique features or making me look like someone else. I was so happy! Honestly, if I could, I’d be coming to Alina for make up every week. She is a true professional but also, the kindest person. You can tell just how much she cares to see you walking away feeling your most beautiful self.

Even when I (admittedly) changed the schedule a million times, her and her team were incredibly patient, professional, and accommodating. They showed up with genuine enthusiasm and high-level skill that made the entire morning feel seamless. I gifted hair and makeup services to my bridesmaids, and it was worth every penny. My own hair and makeup were my exact vision come to life—I truly owe so much of my wedding day confidence to them! If you are looking for a talented, professional glam squad that travels to you, I cannot recommend them enough.

As a person who had never been glam before, Emily and Sarah made me super comfortable and had realistic expectations. THANK YOU for explaining why 18-inch extensions would be beneficial, and I am thankful for trusting you. My hair and makeup were freaking epic! I wanted old Hollywood Glam with smokey eyes and, being 48, requesting glowy skin instead of baked. Sarah made all my bridesmaids feel gorgeous with their makeup, and our hair was perfect! Most of my bridesmaids had been BM before, so they were expecting to feel insecure and not sexy. All five were so impressed they felt and looked beautiful. I have never been called "Stunning" before my wedding day. On that day, Emily and the team not only made me look stunning, but they also made me feel stunning. My hairstyle with the 18-inch clip extensions was done perfectly. My makeup lasted all night, and the glow that was used on my chest gave me the most beautiful glowing skin. Thank you so much! I haven't gotten any of my professional photos in yet. Here are a few from guests

I can’t thank Ulyana enough for making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! I actually changed my makeup artist just a month before the big day because my previous one didn’t capture the look I envisioned—and it was the best decision ever. Ulyana listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. My makeup lasted all night through happy tears, endless hugs, and nonstop dancing. Truly an artist with a heart!

About wedding beauty professionals

How much does hair and makeup cost for a wedding?

According to Thumbtack, wedding makeup artists cost $90–$475 per person on average in 2022. Here at Zola, we recommend putting aside around $300 for your own wedding hair and makeup. Services for wedding party members are generally less expensive, as the artist or stylist will spend less time perfecting the look. Be sure to have a transparent conversation with your wedding party if you expect them to cover their own costs.

How long does wedding hair and makeup take to do?

The more involved the look, the more time it will take. In general, allocate 60–90 minutes for your own looks and 30–45 minutes for each member of the wedding party. Extensions, extra thick hair, and intricate makeup all take longer. Communicating who (with pictures and descriptions) is getting what (again, with photos) to your stylists will help them plan an accurate timeline.

Who usually pays for hair and makeup for the wedding party?

Traditionally, whoever is asking for the services should pay. However, this may not be in the budget for every couple. If you’re planning on having your wedding party pay, be transparent when you first ask them to be in the wedding party itself. Then, they can choose whether it’s possible for them to participate.

How much should we tip for our wedding hair and makeup artists?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 15–20%.
