9 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.
San Francisco Bay against the rest of the country
The median published starting price for a hair and makeup artist in San Francisco Bay is $200, about 33% above the national median of $150. That is the local market, not a markup, and it is the number to compare a quote against rather than the national one. Commonly $75-$150 each and worth doing for the bride. Trials for the whole party rarely are.
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.
