HOW MUCH DOES HAIR & BEAUTY COST FOR WEDDINGS IN THE UK?

In the UK, wedding hair and beauty services typically range from £250 to £1,000+ per person, depending on the service type, experience of the stylist or makeup artist, group size and location.

At the lower end of the range, couples can expect basic bridal hair or makeup appointments with a talented professional. Mid-range pricing usually reflects full bridal hair and makeup with trial sessions included. Higher-end pricing often includes premium stylists, extended trials, wedding party services, and bespoke looks tailored to individual style and wedding theme.

Factors that commonly influence pricing include:

  • Whether a trial session is included

  • Hair styling only, makeup only, or combined services

  • Number of people in the bridal party

  • Travel time and location of the venue

  • Experience and reputation of the artist

Most hair and beauty professionals include a trial and on-the-day service in their standard pricing. Optional extras — such as additional trials, wedding party makeup/hair, or late-night touch-ups — are often priced separately.

Rather than focusing solely on price, many couples find it helpful to consider how a stylist’s approach, aesthetic and products align with the look they envision for the day — whether classic, editorial, relaxed or modern.

LOOKS THAT LAST THE DAY

Hair and beauty play a major role in how you feel and how your wedding photos are captured. Thoughtfully selected stylists can create looks that feel true to you, stay comfortable throughout the timeline and complement your overall wedding aesthetic.

Whether it’s natural elegance, refined glamour or creative expression, finding the right stylist helps ensure you feel confident and radiant from ceremony through to evening celebration.

FAQs — About Booking Your Wedding Hair & Makeup Artist

Yes — a trial is strongly recommended, especially for hair. A trial gives you and your artist the chance to test your chosen look in advance, make adjustments, and arrive on the day feeling confident. Most artists include a trial in their packages or offer them as a paid add-on. Trials are usually booked 2 to 3 months before the wedding.
Most popular artists book up 9 to 12 months in advance, particularly for peak season dates between May and September. If you have a specific artist in mind whose style you love, enquire as early as possible. Once you've confirmed your date and venue, booking your hair and makeup team is one of the first things to do.
Some artists offer both services, while others specialise in one or the other. For larger wedding parties, it's common to have a separate hair stylist and makeup artist working alongside each other to manage timing. Always discuss your full requirements — including how many people need to be ready and by what time — when enquiring.
Most do — travelling to your venue or preparation location is standard practice for wedding hair and makeup artists. Travel fees may apply depending on distance. Always confirm travel costs, parking arrangements, and how much space they'll need to set up when booking.
Browse portfolios carefully and look for consistency across different skin tones, hair types, and styles. Look for artists whose work reflects the aesthetic you want — natural, editorial, glam, or something in between. All artists in the Book of Love Directory have been vetted by MNT for quality, inclusivity, and values, making it a great starting point.
