Bridal Hair and Makeup in Madison

8 hair and makeup artists, with what they charge, what that covers and how far ahead they book.

We read the websites of every hair and makeup artist we could find working in Madison, and pulled out the things couples ask first: what it costs, what that covers, how far ahead they book, and what actually makes each one different. Every line below is quoted from their own site and links back to it.

Of the 12 we looked at, 4 publish their pricing. That is unusually high for the wedding trade — most Madison venues publish nothing at all — so this is a genuine comparison rather than a list of names to email.

Read a starting price as a starting price. Almost every figure here is the lowest package on the lowest-demand date. Ask what your date costs before you shortlist on the number.
