How much for brides trial make up??? - 10-07-08, 08:21 PM

Hi, I have my first bride and bridesmaid trial make up booked in and i charge £35 for bride and bride plus bridesmaid is £50, im struggling to work out if to charge a seperate price for the trial or to make it including the price.
If i make it including the price should i ask for a deposit or the whole amount on the day of the trial, im only renting a room in a back of a hairdressing salon so dont want to shoot myself in the foot and out price myself or under price.

Thanks for any help

Hi I charge £45 for the bridesmaid and £50 for the bride. That includes the trial and day. I am going to get the artdeco mineral range and when I do it might charge a bit more. Hope that helps.

I charge the brides £40 for a trial and then if they decide to book for the day then I charge £25 for the day they can either pay the £25 at the trial or on their wedding day. For bridesmaids I charge £30 for a trial and £20 on the day most of the bridesmaids dont have a trial though. Bear in mind how confident you feel, your experience and the makeup you use when pricing makeup aswell. I do mainly makeup now, hardly ever do tanning or manicures.

Thanks for answering my questions, so do u think I should chage a seperate price for the trial if so wat sort of price?? Dont want to say its included in the price then they book for the wedding and cancel for watever reason because it would end up that i have done the trial for free.
Should I ask for deposit?? Sorry 20 questions lol but im really trugglin with this one.
Thanks

I think you should charge for the trial because you may get people
going out and want a freebie and then say they don't want you for the wedding.
so I would charge like emerald does, pay so much for the trial and the rest on the wedding day.
