Is $125 Too Much To Charge For A Bride?

$50 for a bride would be what a student would charge in my opinion!!! Stick to your guns, if they want good work they'll pay for it!!! I live in Memphis and people are SOOO cheap here, but I can still manage to get work!! I can't tell you how many people have threatened me with finding someone cheaper, had a HORRENDOUS consultation by them, and then running back to me. They normally even end up tipping me even more, LOL! People are so silly.

I'm sticking to it, I'm pretty sure she's not going to call back, which is fine. I just wanted some reassurance from other people who know about it. I appreciate all the input everyone!

I didn't have a wedding planner so we did everything as far as planning so on the day of I did as little as possible

Ya Tiffany I guess it's nice to have someone else do stuff for you once in a while. Especially on your wedding day.

I think your charging too little lol... In my neighborhood brides are charged from 150$ and up! I paid 200$ for my wedding day and I believe it was totally worth it and my bridesmaids 85$ each

Honestly not really. Thats a price that should get you a well job done not a whatever kind of job done

Maybe she'll feel better if you charge her the same thing - but you break it down under titles like 'travel fee', 'kit fee', 'set up fee' etc.
Get creative - and know you're worth it!

Everyone wants something for less, you know your worth. Stay strong and be confident

Your prices are very fair. Also take into consideration how much experience you have to back up your prices.

I charge a base rate for brides and then an additional charge for any extra treatments she may want on the day, collagen eye mask, gel manicure, eyelash extensions etc. doing bridal is one of my favourite things to do

I'm not a makeup artist and I think those prices are fair

I thought that too ave until the date creeped closer and I realized I couldn't control my three ring circus and get myself dressed so I opted to enlist help lol

I think it's a reasonable price. I personally can't imagine paying that much when I could do it myself. But to those who aren't skilled at doing makeup i think it's totally acceptable.

Melina...do you go to the grocery store and tell them what you're going to pay for your milk and eggs? No way! You pay the listed price...if you want it cheaper you can look elsewhere

She knows she's worth $125...why should she give her services away?

Be careful, because if you refuse to lower even a tiny bit she might go elsewhere and unread of losing $20 you'll lose the whole deal.

It's ur skill that they pay for. I paid alot more that than what u're charging (but coz I needed two looks) but I was willing to pay because the MUA was well known, had a great portfolio n I loved her work!

I paid $150 for myself and was supposed to pay $75 for each bridesmaid but when she found out there were 10 bridesmaids and 6 other family members wanting make up they cut me a deal at $50 for each bridesmaid
I feel like that's the standard rate

People will always try to get a better price. But it's your time and product and experience.
