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.

Tiffany did such an amazing job for my wedding. She was easy to communicate with and perfectly executed my vision. Her and another artist did myself, all bridesmaids, and MOB/MOG.

Juliana did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I felt so beautiful. She worked with me during the trial to find a style that fulfilled my vision and did an amazing job of integrating flowers into the style. We even changed the style up pretty significantly between the trial and day of and it turned out perfectly. I was so happy with how the make up turned out. I don't wear a lot of make up normally.

Three weeks before my wedding, I had a terrible makeup trial with another artist and went into panic mode. I stumbled across Alina on Instagram, and she replied right away — so kind, calm, and reassuring. She and Sveta fit me in for a hair and makeup trial that same week and spent over four hours making sure everything was absolutely perfect. They talked through every little detail and genuinely cared about getting my vision just right. Both Alina and Sveta went above and beyond; rearranging their schedules to allow more time at my venue and staying in touch in the days leading up to the wedding to fine-tune the final look. On the wedding day, they made me feel beautiful, calm, and completely myself. My mom also got her hair and makeup done for the first time ever and was absolutely glowing, she still can’t stop talking about how special they made her feel. I’m beyond grateful we found Alina and Sveta — they pour their hearts into their work. Their talent, professionalism, and heart truly made my day unforgettable.

I found Amber on Zola about a year ago when looking for a makeup artist for my wedding. From the very beginning, she was super friendly, organized, and helpful! I looked through so many different makeup artists before finding Amber. It was very hard to find a makeup artist who could do a really good natural makeup look until I found Amber! I don’t wear makeup on a daily basis, so I wanted to make sure I looked like myself on my wedding day. During my makeup trial, Amber gave me lots of suggestions and knew exactly what to do to give me the perfect natural look! Amber arrived early on my wedding day ready to go and did all of my bridesmaids and mother’s makeup. Everyone loved the makeup Amber did and felt so confident!

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%.
