    Episode 001 | The Bride Who Wanted $350 Waves

    A bride recently reached out to me because she'd been searching everywhere for someone who specializes in Hollywood waves. She told me finding the right artist felt like finding a needle in a haystack. Then she saw my pricing — and told me she expected bridal hair AND makeup to cost around $350.  Honestly… it made me question myself. So let's talk about it. Why does bridal hair and makeup cost more than a salon appointment? Because you're not paying for "minutes in the chair." You're paying for months of invisible work — consultations, timeline planning, vendor coordination, product testing, packing, sanitizing, and the responsibility of making sure you're ready for one of the most photographed days of your life.  I'm Bailee Cribb, a licensed bridal hair and makeup artist specializing in Coastal Editorial Glam™ — fine-hair structure, soft-focus airbrush makeup, and modern waves engineered to hold through heat, humidity, and a full wedding timeline.  In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what goes into bridal beauty pricing — the business overhead, the specialization, the travel, the "bride experience," and why comparing it to a salon blowout misses the entire picture.
