    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out what to charge for a portrait photo shoot where a makeup artist, hairdresser and stylist would be involved. I tried a few places to find out about the pricing but everybody seems to keep it a secret?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks very much.
    David.

    Why not ask the Makeup Artists/Hairdressers/Stylists what they are charging you then add up the difference.

    The Makeup Artist/Hairdresser/Stylist could be one and the came person. At least Makeup Artist should do hair as well. Get a price off them, figure out your price then figure out what other expenses you have, ie studio hire, equipment etc... add it all up.

    True. Haven't thought of this (MUAs being able to do hair). Thanks!! :)

    Most stylists will actually cover makeup through their courses but not many hairdressers will also be mae up artists. Having said that mua may be able to do hair but it depends if your client is looking for a hairdresser.

    There are a couple of ways you could approach this. You could set a price yourself and decide how much you are willing to pay the hair/mua/stylists or you could find mua/hair/stylists whose work you like and request their hourly rates and add that onto your price. I would be adding a little extra for the hassle of having to find adequate people for the job though.

    Anytime I have done this tbh it has been time for images really and there are a lot of students looking for experience in photoshoots so you can also look for students but beware, the one shoot I covered with a mua and stylist student went on for about 5 hours with the photography side taking only abot 1 hour altogether and the student being slightly unprepared. Thankfully it was a shoot for fun but if it was for clients I would definitely, due to experience, look for professionals.

    €40 to €50 an hour for each would be pretty average.
