Bridesmaids- Who pays for hair?

[TennisFan186]

The bridesmaids have come to me to try and talk to her Would it be fair if I gently suggested that she look at a few different salons to see if anyone can do it for less than $100 per bridesmaid?

Does $100 for a bridesmaids' hair seem steep to anyone else? I know the salon I go to typically doesn't charge that much (for a bride, yes) and it's a pretty upscale salon.

That seems really steep, even in my area. My salon charges 100 for a bride and 65 for bridesmaids. OP, where do you live?

No. Tell them to put on their big girl panties and ask her themselves. They agreed to be bridesmaids, and part of that is dressing like little clones for the bride. It's part of the costs. The Maid of Honor or any bridesmaid should approach the bride.

Look, they can all get together as a group and tell her, "Look, we can't afford this. So either we go to a different salon or you pay the difference/pay all, Bride, or we're just doing our own hair and you have to deal with it."

You should not be involved. MYOB for your own sanity's sake. Brides are crazy. Don't get involved in unnecessary drama. All that will happen is that she will get pissed at you, bridesmaid stay silent and agree with her that you're a terrible person. There is nothing to be gained. This is the bridesmaids' problem.

If you aren't close enough to your own sister to be in her wedding, seriously, she doesn't want your opinion.
