As a girl who grew up with problematic skin and fine hair that could never hold a curl, I was so impressed with my wedding day look and the confidence it gave me to get through the day. Lisa and Erin were a great team to work with; their communication style was responsive, clear, and informative throughout the entire planning process. They were detail-oriented, knowledgeable about various products, and truly client-focused, helping to ensure I looked and felt my absolute best. The team listened closely to my feedback while also providing honest opinions when I felt indecisive about the look during my hair and makeup trials. They also gave me great guidance on how to best prep my hair and skin for the morning of, which I swear made the biggest difference in my look lasting from the early morning hours to late in the evening. Equally as important, they took great care of my bridesmaids, who each have varying skin tones, hair thickness and textures that required styling, and everyone had nothing but great things to say about the results!

I've always loved makeup and its ability to empower and build confidence, and I find true joy in helping brides feel their very best on such a special day.

โ€œI was obsessed with my wedding hair and makeup. It was exactly what I requested (light coverage makeup that lasted all day and hair half up hair with waves that also stayed all day but wouldnโ€™t get all knotted from a bunch of hair spray). I was crying or sweating for about 80% of the day and it all lasted perfectly without ever looking cakey/streaky/etc. As someone who never gets my hair/makeup done, I recommend doing a trial. I found I wasnโ€™t super great at articulating what I wanted and my inspo photos were not cohesive. Tiffany was great in helping with each step and giving me different options! She is communicative and flexible. Sheโ€™s also super sweet and relaxing which is the right type of energy for the morning of your wedding! I would recommend her to any of my friends.โ€

โ€œJohan did such a great job with my hair and makeup for my wedding and she was amazing to work with! When I wasn't sure between two hair styles for the wedding we tried both for the trial. She listened to what I wanted and was open to changes when I requested them. The end result was so beautiful and it lasted the whole evening! Johan is so lovely to work with, she is so kind and friendly and really added to my wedding day experience. I would absolutely recommend Johan to anyone looking for hair and makeup services.โ€

โ€œSO HAPPY that o found IBEAUTY for my wedding in NC. Ulyana was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process, always promptly answering our questions. She was attentive, helpful, and provided excellent value. On the day of the wedding, they exceeded my expectations, even when I asked for a few changes. The entire wedding party loved their hair and makeup, and we all felt beautiful and confident walking down the aisle. I would highly recommend IBEAUTY to any couple looking for a talented and reliable beauty team to be a part of their special day!โ€

About wedding beauty professionals

How much does hair and makeup cost for a wedding?

According to Thumbtack, wedding makeup artists cost $90โ€“$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 60โ€“90 minutes for your own looks and 30โ€“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 youโ€™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 itโ€™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 15โ€“20%.
