It’s a fact that bridal parties have a budget.
It's not uncommon for photographers, videographers and photo booths to be separate vendors at a wedding and I am always confused why people assume wedding day beauty services should be bundled as one, when they are 2 distinct art forms.
Hairstylists and makeup artists are artists. And while many makeup artists "can do hair", hair most likely is not their passion. Many hairstylists "can do makeup", but the hairstylists I know, have a passion for hair and not for makeup.

I want you to look your best and to do a great job. So do the hairstylists and other makeup artists I work with. We all take pride in our work and we also want to allow time to get our work done perfectly.
Asking one person to do both services greatly limits the amount of time and attention the artist can spend with each client. The most vocal one in the bridal party will probably get the most attention and this may cheat the bride out of her allotted time. The wedding day is the bride's day to shine.
The smallest of details overlooked are the biggest to be noticed (ie, missing bobby pins & falling hair or false lashes that aren’t applied properly).

Hiring a makeup artist AND a hairstylist on your wedding day, actually can help with time, as 2 clients can be worked on at the same time vs only one person getting both services.
Consider the hair & makeup services as an investment in the wedding day memories. Allow each artist, and client, the time to create a special and memorable look that will last all day and night. (A common rule of thumb is to allow one hour for hair and one hour for makeup services - so that's 2 hours per/person for BOTH hair & makeup services.)
In the Houston area, many solo makeup artists, who also offer hair services, do not have the state license. Be sure to ask about their hair license before you book with them.
