You are being charged 90+ because of not just the effort but also the time they will be spending on just you. Same reason we are charged 90+ to get highlights and color. You are taking up a solid block of time and I don't think its wrong for them to expect to be paid for it...:shrug:

That, and it usually incldues a trial run beforehand. With a regular updo, you show up the day-of and they do their thing. For your wedding you want to be able to discuss things in advance so things go smoothly on the big day.

Call blades and see if they do that sort of thing..good practice for the girls, and hey, its not like they are cutting it..they can't screw up too bad

I think $90 is the average for wedding hair.
My MIL treated me too my hair and makeup for my wedding day (a friend of hers was a beautician/stylist) she paid $125 and that was nearly 13 years ago
I like the way I do my make up myself and didnt want to worry about someone screwing up my mug for that day so when she got to my house that morning I just let her do the hair and told her I could handle the make up.
Ehhh not sure for something as special as my wedding day I would let them do my hair.

Not everyone can do an updo..if that's what she wants. I think $90 is fairly reasonable.

I agree. Even though the girl who did my hair was very proffessional and had been doing hair for quite some time she didnt pin the veil on properly. Of course I didnt realize this until we were half way through our outdoor ceremony and the wind starting blowing my veil up and almost off my head. So I just pulled it off and handed it to my maid of honor
yeah I would do one or the other then. Most people can put on make up, very few can do an up do properly though

WHy do you need "wedding hair"??
Unless you plan on doing your hair everyday for the rest of your life..
I don't think he is marrying a "Wedding Day Woman", and if he's marrying you I'd assume he loves the everyday you..
SO, on that VERY special day, be the everyday you that he fell in love, and is in love with. You don't want to set his expectations too high..
When he looks back at the wedding day pictures in 10 years, and asks.. "Where is that BEAUTIFUL woman that I married!??" The bar won't be set to high to attain that wedding day look again for him.

Clinique will do your makeup for free but its nice to buy the lipstick or powder or something since it does take time for the consultant. If you want to book a pre-consultation they will find your colors and then the day of they already have your file and can recreate the look quickly. Not sure what to tell you about the hair!

You can also do that at the Mac counter. My girlfriends and I used to do that for prom, and I still do it sometimes if I am at the mall and going out later on that evening
