How Much Does Wedding Hair and Makeup Cost in Denver? (2026 Guide)
Posted in: Hair and makeup costs
If you are planning a Denver wedding, the honest range for professional hair and makeup is about $900 for a bride only morning up to $3,000 or more for a larger party with a trial and travel. Where you land comes down to your party size, whether you add a trial, how far we drive to your getting ready location, and the timeline your day needs. Here is exactly what we charge in Denver and the Front Range, and what moves the number, so you can budget with confidence.
What you are actually paying for
Wedding hair and makeup is not a salon blowout, and the price reflects that. You are paying for a look built to last a full day of photos, altitude, sun, hugs, and dancing, and for a team that comes to you, on time, with everything they need. That includes your trial, the getting ready timeline we build so the morning stays calm, products chosen for Colorado air and your venue, and the hold that keeps everything in place from your first look to the last song.
When you compare quotes, look past the per face number. A lower price with no trial, no timeline, and no plan for a large party often costs more in stress on the day. We would rather be clear up front about what your morning actually needs.

What a typical Denver wedding adds up to
Say you want hair and makeup for yourself and four people in your party, plus a trial. That is $525 for you, $1,200 for your four attendants, and $525 for your trial, which comes to about $2,250 before travel. A bride only morning with a trial is closer to $1,050. A party of eight simply scales by $300 per additional person.
Travel is the piece that shifts with your venue. A getting ready suite in Denver, Boulder, or Cherry Creek is close to home for us. A mountain venue in Evergreen, Vail, or the high country adds more for the drive, and sometimes a hotel the night before so your team starts fresh. We quote travel from your exact getting ready address, never a guess.
The numbers that move your total
- Party size. This is the biggest lever. Each additional person getting hair and makeup is $300, so a party of two looks very different from a party of eight.
- A trial. A bridal preview is $525 and, for most people, worth it. It is the difference between hoping your look works and knowing it does.
- An earlier start. An early ceremony or a large party may call for a second artist ($350) so everyone is ready on time. We flag this on your timeline before you commit.
- Travel and altitude. Denver and the Front Range are close; mountain venues add mileage and sometimes a night before. The first 20 miles are complimentary.
- Add-ons. Touch-up hours ($200 per hour), extension styling, and hair-only or makeup-only services adjust the total up or down.
