17 priced vendors
From the "starting at" price each vendor publishes on their own website or their Lazo profile, read 2026-11-02. A starting price is the smallest package they sell, not what a wedding ends up costing: nationally most couples pay $150-$350 for the bride once hours, add-ons and the date are in.
Philadelphia against the rest of the country
The median published starting price for a hair and makeup artist in Philadelphia is $130, about 13% below the national median of $150. Lower starting prices usually mean smaller base packages rather than cheaper weddings, so compare what each package includes before comparing the number.
What moves the price
- Number of services, not people
- One person having both hair and makeup is two services. A party of six having both is twelve, and that is what sets the schedule and the price.
- Number of artists
- One artist working alone can take six hours for a party of six. Two or three artists compress that dramatically, cost more, and are frequently the difference between a calm morning and a late ceremony.
- Trials
- Commonly $75-$150 each and worth doing for the bride. Trials for the whole party rarely are.
- Travel and early starts
- On-site service usually carries a travel fee, and a start before about 7am often carries an early-call charge.
