Wedding Hair & Makeup in Scottish Borders

Finding bridal hair and makeup artists in Scottish Borders

Scottish Borders is a region of sweeping Tweed Valley scenery, abbey ruins and country house estates stretching from the Pentland Hills south to the English border. The bridal hair and makeup artists listed here are spread across the area, with the strongest concentrations in Galashiels and Kelso; Peebles and Jedburgh tend to attract bridal hair and makeup artists who focus on Tweed Valley and Border Abbeys venue events. Bridal hair and makeup — including a trial — typically costs between £400 and £1,400 for the bride, with additional per-person rates for each member of the bridal party.

Because Scottish Borders borders Edinburgh, Northumberland and Dumfries and Galloway, plenty of bridal hair and makeup artists based here cover those areas without travel charges — useful if your venue sits on a county line. Book a trial early. Most artists in the area fill their weekend diary from late January onwards, and availability for bridal parties over four people closes up faster than most couples expect. At the trial, run through the full day’s timeline so the artist can advise on realistic start times — early morning gets are common and are easier to plan for once agreed at this stage.
