Default Hey Stack, or anyone else in Glasgow...

Where can I find someone to do hair and make-up for a reasonable price??

I am ranting here... I get the feeling that people(vendors) think that because I am from the states and am getting married in Scotland I am made of money! I was quoted abot £800 to do the make-up and hair for 3 people. with the exchange rate thats well over $1000 !
not only that but for a fruitcake for 100 people I was quoted £650 to start. thats $10 per serving! So where have I gone wrong???
sorry i am just feeling as though I am being hit with the "stupid american we can charge her more" on top of the "oh so it's for a wedding...£££" thing. and it is starting to get to me.

ok rant over.
any advice???

arrochar is lovely my dad and i used to go fishing there when i was wee.

its not far from helinsburgh (sp?)

are you thinking about a department store or an actual beauty salon.

do you want them all in the same place ie hair and make up or would you want a hair dressers near the make up counter.

any particular brand of make up.

well no to be picky i want them to come to me and I would like the same person to do hair & make-up. Do you think I might fine someone? The brand of make-up doesn't matter to me too much i would make them use mostly my own (bossy I know) any ideas where to look?

all suggestions greatfully taken...

well I had a budget before i got a few quotes...I would like to keep it under 250£ for the lot but am now unsure if this is reasonable.

so any information you can find would be greatfully appreciated!


BTW are you feeling any better?
and did you hear anything about the job?
