why does it have to be professionally?
if your girls can achieve the look you want by doing each others hair for free then theres nothing you have to pay for.
if YOU need them to have it done professionally for your own satisfaction, then YOU should assist in paying.

I think the bride should pay for it if she wants them to be done a certain way and/or professionally. I agree with others that said that it could the bride's gift to her bridesmaids. However, if the bride leaves hairstyles up to the bridesmaids themselves and they choose to get it done professionally, then the bridesmaids should pay for it since they chose to do it.

Usually the bridesmaids pay for their own dresses and accessories, so I think hair falls under that. However, the bride should talk to her bridesmaids about this plan first and shouldn't "force" anybody to do anything. If getting hair done professionally would cause financial hardship for anybody, then the bride should offer to pay.

I think tradition says no, that the bride's maids pick up their own tabs. However, not everyone can afford the same things. I would hope that you're the kind of bride that would make her maids feel comfortable enough to back out if cost was a problem. Or generous enough that if a maid said she couldn't afford it and would have to back out of the wedding party, that you'd offer to pay for her.
That said, if it means enough to you, make it a gift to them. I only had a maid of honor so I made a gift of mani/pedicure, hair, makeup, dress, necklace and earrings for her. It might not be an option for you, pricewise, but it's something to consider.
I guess it also depends on the size of your bridal party.

some do, but then some brides just tell them she wants them did professionally, perhaps you can all gather and get your bridesmaids hair done at the same salon, like sort of have a "hair-do" party, just let them know whether or not your going to foot the bill before.

In the weddings that I have been a bridesmaid in, I have always paid to have my own hair done, usually at the hair stylist of the bride's choosing. I have also always bought my own bridesmaid dress, shoes, nylons, etc. At my own wedding, the bridesmaids paid to get their hair done themselves.

If you are requring that their hair is done in a specific style or saying that it MUST be done by a professional hair person you have to pay for it. Same applies to makeup.
Anytime you take away their option of DIY and force an expense on them other than their clothing it is your responsibility to cover that expense if they are unwilling to do so. Even with clothing you need to make sure you keep the amounts affordable for them and within reason. Just because they agree to stand up does not mean they are agreeing to endless expenses when it's not even THEIR wedding day.

Most times they do , but there are times when this is discussed before they except to be bridesmaids. Most will pay for theire own hair but you can't tell them where or who can do their hair for the day it's their money so they know how to spend it just give them the desired hair style and let them go from there. But if your picky and you have a certain stylist in mind then you must be paying for it. or at least for half of it.

individually, i do no longer think of it truly is honest for the bride to require bridesmaids get their hair professionally achieved. i think of the bride ought to inspire each and each bridesmaid to look marvelous and positioned-jointly, yet while she is going to "require" each and each bridesmaid get their hair professionally achieved, then she truly ought to grant to pay for it. at the instant being a bridesmaid can require paying for an surprisingly high priced (on occasion) gown, footwear, and putting on a bathtub, occasion, and so on. i think of being a bridesmaid must be approximately helping a buddy on a large day, and not allotting adequate money to place you in debt. it could be unhappy to ought to choose out of being in a buddy's wedding ceremony only through fact the fee replaced into too plenty.

Absolutely yes. If you don't trust your BMs to manage their hair on their own in their own way and insist on having done professionally, you must bear the expense yourself. The limit is dress, shoes, stockings, and gloves when it comes to the bride playing the "I'm picking it out, but you're paying for it" game.

it's something you need to talk about with them when friends of mine have been bridesmaid they have paid for own hair and shoes but bride has paid for dress and jewelery it depends on your budget also speak with the hairdresser as you may get a discount to try and make it cheaper but speak to your bridesmaids and see how that goes
