Does anyone know the approximate going rate for “top” insta famous hair and makeup artists for weddings? Would love to get an idea before I start reaching out to artists.

Makeup between 1500-2k for 4 faces usually including travel with an extra fee for additional faces and staying after chuppah.

Hair, 1800-2500 not sure how many heads I think 5. Some include staying till after chuppah, some have extra fee.

OP,

You know there are so many talented ladies who are not Insta-famous and charge 1/4 of the price of the above. I think someone should start a spin-off and give these well- deserved ladies parnasa

Someone I know used one of the "top" makeup artists- cost 5k for 4 faces (including the bride). And I don't believe that included travel. And honestly, I honestly don't think it was worth the money. Makeup looked beautiful but nothing outstanding IMHO.

This is super location dependent. Like difference in between neighboring communities. Flatbush is not the same as 5 towns, crown heights or Boro Park.

Shout out to Esther Levy who does a fantastic job on makeup and is so so reasonable and a pleasure to have

Are these prices for real? I live in the UK. The most expensive MUA I've come across was under £100 a face. And she's considered 'top' and most expensive around. Other amazing ones charge £65/£75.

For a wedding in Manchester, we brought in someone 'top' from London for Hair and Makeup and we paid her a fraction of the above prices and that included her travel fee (4 hours each way)

Definitely agree! Op asked specifically about the popular ones, but there are many many great ones for cheaper if she is interested

Don’t want to be a party crusher, but pls be careful with LH, this thread feels like it can go down a slippery slope very quickly.

OP asked a simple question and for her answer.
Starting to ask who and then bash…is un-necessary and dangerous

100% pls be careful with LH. I was just wondering pricing because I reached out to a popular hairstylist and was told 5k! So before I start waisting more of my time I’m curious if this is over the top or the unfortunately “new normal” for a very good artist. NY area for reference.

LH about who? The makeup artists/hair stylists or the people crazy enough to pay those insane prices??

Where are you finding top makeup artist for so cheap? The top ones are $3500 plus other fees if you want them to stay later and that is only for four faces.

The same with hair. The pricing is
Insane and they know they can get it so they basically upped the market for the little ones Ronaldo charge a lot.

In the olden days when I got married, we went to the make up artist before going to the hall. I am sure it was much cheaper.

I taught myself how to do professional make up on myself and people compliment and ask

Who did your make up?

We don't all live in New York area. When you ask for a recommendation, it's only fair to specify a location. (I know someone great in Jerusalem.)

I think makeup artists have a right to charge any price they want. You don't have to use top/ expensive artists if you don't want
There are so many makeup artists so it's not like they're leaving u with no choice but to use them
