Is this a good deal for bridal makeup/ hair package?

crappyireland

Hi all.

just looking for opinions on the following quote I got for bridal makeup and hair package. I'm based in North Cork and the quote is for a call out to my home on morning of the wedding
Makeup for 6 people
hair is 5 upstyles and 1 blow dry.
total =€575

Is this good value?

Blooming 'Eck.

Its probably good enough for those numbers, but I wouldn't pay it!

It works out at fifty euro a head for hair and make up, which isn't that bad. Are they all bridesmaids?

Bride
3 bridesmaids
1 mammy
1 extra person - sister

I'm still researching for other prices from places so I'll see what they come in at.
The person who gave me this rate is Catherine Hickey. Love her stuff online and facebook

Hmm, I'm paying 320 for 6 makeups alone and thought it very good value

4 hair styles/blow dries at a slightly fancy local salon will set us back around €140

So kts not bad, but not fantastic.

Aww that's GREAT!!! I hadn't planned spending up to 500 but I'm not finding any great deals so far.

Yeah, it's a pretty great price actually. I'm paying for me + 4 bridesmaids (my mum isn't interested in having hers done). Different people are doing hair and make-up, and including call out fees, it's coming to E690 for the 5 of us, including two trials for me. It's more than I wanted to pay (I think I initially budgeted 500). The lowest price I was quoted was E480, from what I can see in my emails, for a combined service. Most places were quoting ~50 per person for hair and the same again for makeup. Then call out is extra, as are trials.

That's good for them to call to the house. I'm paying 400 for 5 of us and it's in salon. Call out price was nearly double that.

that's good value imo. In Dublin I'm payin 380 for 5 makeups and 360 for 5 hairs.

Will do there

I still haven't gotten my hair quote, but I have 5 (me, 3bridesmaids and my mam)booked in with an absolute amazing MUA and its €200 and that's her coming to my parents house.

I will have 6 for hair (the 5 above and my daughter) I'm hoping it won't be too much more than €200 considering 2 of my bridesmaids just want curls and my mam wants a blowdry.
