Bridesmaids hair and makeup?

I don't care how they want to wear their hair, if they want to do it themselves, where they want to get it done, etc, as long as they don't come to the wedding looking disshelved, I'm fine with whatever they choose to do. Same for makeup and nails. I trust that everyone of them will look tasteful that day.





Etiquette wise, should I pay for their hair, makeup, and nails? If not, should I still have a hairdresser come to the wedding if they want to have their hair professionally done? The last wedding I was in, I paid for my hair and did my own makeup and nails. The bride had a hairdresser come but did not care how we did our hair.Bridesmaids hair and makeup?
I think that you should give them the option but at my wedding all of us girls got ready together and it was a blast. It also helped me from being SO stressed out. It is fun getting ready together. Let your bridesmaids know that they can have there hair done however they want but would they come and get ready with you. Then that way if you aren't liking thier hair you can mention it right then.Bridesmaids hair and makeup?
I am getting married in May, and asked all of my girls if they wanted to do it together or individually. Surprisingly everyone wanted to go as a group. :) I found a salon/day spa that would be available for everyone do get done around the same time. That is a pro versus having one person come to your home to do all of your girls. (One person would get done earlier than all the others).





Anyways, I told all my girls the costs, and they are all okay with paying for themselves. Even if your parents are paying for your wedding, I'm sure you have enough expenses of your own, so you aren't expected to pay for them.
I've known bridesmaids who were forced/pressured into paying for it when they'd rather do it themselves. You can probably insist they get their hair done professionally but let them choose the professional... in that case they would probably pay but expect some to do it themselves.


If your girls don't mind paying, you can offer to hire someone to come out or book everyone at the same place.





I plan on asking my girls to pay for their own and have someone come out to the house to do it...but I mean I will ASK them if that is ok (mentioning the price). If they think it costs too much, I'll pay for half or all of it... I really want everyone to look awesome in the pictures.


However, I feel I have a right to be a little pushy since I'm letting them pick their own little black dresses instead of forcing them into some ugly thing they'll never wear again!
I'm really interested in hearing the rest of the responses on this one - I am kind of confused as to what to do with my wedding coming up too.


In my brother's wedding, I paid for my nails but did not pay for my hair - but yet, the woman who did our hair was working in the bride's mother's old shop (which was in their house) so I'm thinking it was done as a favor type thing.


I have appointments for my BM's and am letting them do what they want with hair, etc. I also paid for their dresses because that became a big issue for some reason (I'd rather not remember that whole ordeal).


I am thinking of having them pay for their hair and nails, it seems like what most people expect.
You are responsible for your attendants grooming expenses only if you insist that it be done in some particular way, a way that involves extra expenses. If you are OK with attendants doing their own hair and nails then it is THEIR responsibility to pay if they make the decision to have them professionally done. In short, ';The Decider'; pays the bills.
The rule of thumb is that if you want them to have a specific hairstyle, makeup, or pedicure, then you pay for it. Otherwise, they pay for whatever they want to do to make themselves feel pretty.
Maybe all the bridesmades should pay for it themselves!! When I was a bridesmade I had to pay for it. Well of course to make sure they all have at least close to the same hair style and the same dress colour or type!
usually you pay, if you want it done by your hair dresser, etc...





if you don't care, then they can get ready themselves :) and being they are your bridesmaids i'm sure they will coming looking good for you :)
You can have your hairdresser come and do everyones. If its thier choice, then you dont ahve to pay. If you insist your ahirdresser do thier hair then you pay.
if you tell them you don't care how their hair and makeup looks, why would you pay for it? only pay for it if you're demanding they have it done a certain way. which you're not.
No you don't pay for that.
