How Much Does Bridal Hair And Makeup Cost? A Guide For New Brides

Wedding planning and spreadsheets are pretty much synonymous: venue, catering, flowers, photography, all add up confusingly fast. But one question that catches a lot of new brides off guard is: “What will hair and makeup cost on my wedding day?”

At Roman K, we give you an honest breakdown of what to expect so you can plan your budget realistically.

The Bride’s Look Comes First

Bridal hair and makeup isn’t priced the same as a regular salon appointment, and for good reason. Your look takes more time, more product, and a higher level of technical know-how. The techniques we use for bridal makeup (think long-wear formulas, airbrushing, or camera-ready finishes) are different from what goes into a guest’s look. The same principle applies to hair: a bridal updo or blowout needs a higher standard of durability and elegance.

With that context, here are our estimated starting ranges for wedding and bridal services:

In-Salon:

• Hair: $350 to $500
• Makeup: $300 to $400

House Call (Your Venue Or Hotel)

• Hair: $500 to $700
• Makeup: $500 to $600

The difference in pricing between in-salon and house call reflects travel time, a full professional beauty kit brought on location, and the added flexibility of bringing the Roman K experience directly to you on your wedding morning.

Pricing For The Bridal Party

Whether it’s your maid of honor, your mom, or your entire squad, Roman K knows everyone deserves to look just as good.

Here’s what to expect for family and friends:

In-Salon

• Blowout / Style: $100 to $125
• Updo: $200 to $350
• Makeup: $200 to $250

House Call

• Blowout / Style: $250 to $300
• Updo: $400 to $450
• Makeup: $350 to $400

A note on these numbers: All prices listed here are estimates only. Final costs depend on factors like hair length, the complexity of the style, the number of people in your party, and logistics. The only way to get an accurate quote is through a consultation, and that’s exactly what we’re here for.

Perks For Larger Parties

Booking a group of 10 or more? We can work with you on special offers to make it easier on the budget.

And for in-salon bookings, we’ll provide an experience that goes beyond great hair and makeup: our team can provide light sweet bites and prosecco for the group, so the morning feels like a celebration before the celebration.
