Nicoles hair and make up

This is the lady i have chosen to do mine and my MOH's hair and make up for the big day. Can you take a look at the prices and tell me if you think they are reasonable please :)

We have our trials this Saturday morning and its killing me that im going to have to cough up £65 just for the trial on me (my sister is only going to have her make up done on saturday because she will have her hair the same as mine on the day so will know what it will look like as we kind of have the same hair) and then pay another £135 on the day itself...but i guess these things cost money right... :pardon:

Hi Hun
her site is really funky and her work looks brilliant too.
For some reason it wont let me look at the prices though, comes up with blank screen.
I decided against having a trial for mine, it was too expensive so risking just going for it on the day.
Are u paying £135 on the day for both of you? Or just one?

mine has cost me £180 for us both to have hair and make up and false eyelashes too. And she will do it in my hotel room to save me time finding her local salon. Cheapest i could find in Miami.

Thanks for your replies :)

So, all in, mine is going to come to £200...(inc trials) which seems really expensive but certainly isnt the dearest ive seen so i musnt grumble.

Her false lashes are included in the make up price of £90 but i dont want false lashes so im going to ask her if she can knock the £20 that she charges for them off of the price... cheeky i know but you never know til you ask! :P

The £135 is just for me Stacey. BM's are cheaper and my sister is paying for her own...

it all sounds pretty good to me hun and u can see that her work is good too.
Some sites i looked at for my make up were awful and had horrible make up pics so its always good to check out their work.

And yes go for it hun asking for the £20 off. I was cheeky with mine, i just basically told her i was on a budget and looking for the best price then we came to an agreement and she was the best price i got :)

its nice to compare prices with eachother too as when i first started getting quotes i didnt have a clue what was a good or bad price :blink:
Then when they all started to email back some were better than others etc.
I thought Miami was going to be really expensive but mine's not bad either considering shes offered to come to the hotel too and said it would save me hassle going to her salon. xxx

Not too bad I don't think, and looks very good too. I'm having just make up done which is £45 consulation (me and my mum) and £100 on the day (me, mum and bridesmaid). She is travelling to hotel both times.

Wow, I must have got a bargain. Mine was £55 including trial, and BMs £30 on the day. She charged £20 to come to the house, which is her minimum as she was just up the road.

She was so lovely too and did a brilliant job.

If your happy with it and the trial goes well then sounds good. Just noticed that MOTB is £10 dearer than BM. She must think they need more work! Are you having the airbrushed one then? What's it like, i've never seen it before.
