Bridal hair and makeup is usually booked as a package: a trial a few weeks or months before, then the artist (or a small team) comes to wherever you're getting ready on the morning. Prices are quoted in different ways, per person, per service, with or without the trial, and with travel, early starts and minimum bookings on busy dates added on top, so it pays to add up the whole morning before comparing.
This guide covers six artists who say on their own websites that they are based in Surrey, and who publish their bridal prices. The details are from those websites, as they stood in October 2026; prices are as published then. Many good artists only quote on request, so they aren't listed. The photo shows Middle Street in Shere, a Surrey Hills village popular for weddings, and isn't connected to any artist below.

Before you book
Add up the whole morning: the bride's trial and wedding day, everyone else in the party, travel, any early-start fee and any minimum booking on summer Saturdays. Check how long the artist needs per person, so the last look is finished well before photos, and whether a second artist is needed to keep to time. Most artists take a booking fee or deposit to hold the date, and popular summer weekends fill up first.
For the rest of the day, see our guides to wedding photographers, wedding caterers and chosen Surrey wedding suppliers. Booking the rest of the morning? Our guide to wedding videographers in Surrey lists five who film weddings across the county.
