Glacier National Park Hair & Makeup

Amanda, on September 17, 2018 at 9:46 PM Posted in Montana Planning 0 13

Hello! We are getting married in GNP next July and staying in Many Glacier. This is our third time in GNP and so we aren’t new to the park but are trying to find some vendors. We have booked our photographer and she kindly recommended a hair and makeup stylist who had a great prortfolio and reasonable prices for the session. However, she has a $385.00 to drive from the west side of the park to the east side. I’m the only one having anything doneas it’s a tiny elopement, and she requires two services, so it would be a total of $635.00 for one person to have their hair and makeup done. Maybe I am crazy, but that seems kinda nuts! Is this something I should expect? I have reached out to some other places and am waiting to hear back but am wondering if I will get the same thing. That is way more than I was planning to spend, but I am hoping to avoid the long drive from the east side to the west side to have my hair done on my wedding day as we will be so busy with other stuff going on. Does anyone know of any salons on the east side of the park? I am struggling to find any! Thanks in advance!

    I think that is insane for just one person. I would definitely look for someone else to see how pricing compares.

    Hi Amanda!! Welcome to WeddingWire!!!Smiley smile

    As kind as it was for your photographer to recommend a hair and makeup stylist, I agree, more than $600 or one person seem pretty steep. The American average for wedding hair and makeup is about $300, give or take a couple hundred on either end.

    I did some Googling and it looks like your best bet for another hair and makeup stylist is going to be in Browning or on the other side of the park in Whitefish and Kalispell. There isn't really anything in the reservation just outside the east side of the park, but there are a couple of hair salons in Browning that might also do your makeup for you if you ask. My best advice would be to maybe ask the locals wherever you're staying to see if they have any ideas or call some of those Browning salons and see if they can help you. Smiley smile

    Best of luck!!!

    Thanks so much! I will check into Browning and Cut Bank. My photographer thought the pricing was reasonable and I wasn't sure what to expect but figured somewhere in the realm for $200.00-$300.00...not close to $700.00!

    Hi Amanda!! Have you had any luck in finding another makeup artist that isn't asking for as much?

    Really?!? She gave me what she charges and it was with hair makeup and both trials was just under $400 then again my wedding spot is on west glacier not east but that shouldn't be that much of a difference. Im sorry

    Yes, unfortunately! Just can’t bring myself to spend that on hair I’m going to wash and makeup I’m going to wipe off at the end of the day.

    I did not. However, we stayed and got married on the east side of the park which is quite a drive from the Whitefish/Kalispell/Columbia Falls area space if you are getting married on the west side I’m sure you’ll have more luck.
