FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As a makeup artist, customers should be aware of the following aspects regarding pricing: 1. Base Rate: Understand the artist's base rate for makeup services, which often includes the initial application. 2. Additional Services: Inquire about any extra services (e.g., false lashes, touch-ups) and associated costs. 3. Travel Fees: If the makeup artist provides on-site services, ask about potential travel fees based on the location. 4. Trial Run Costs: If opting for a trial makeup session, clarify the fee for this separate service. 5. Product Quality: Ensure you are aware of the quality of products used and if there are any premium product options with associated fees. 6. Deposit: Know if a deposit is required to secure the booking and what the cancellation policy is. 7. Group Rates: If booking for a group (e.g., bridal party), inquire abou any group discounts or package deals. Having a transparent discussion about pricing details will help avoid misunderstanding and ensure a smooth working relationship.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
As a makeup artist, the typical process with a new customer involves an initial consultation to discuss their preferences, style, and any specific needs. I would assess their skin type and features. On the day of the service, I'd start with a makeup trial or proceed with the agreed-upon look. Open communication throughout ensures the customer's satisfaction, making adjustments as needed. Clear discussions about pricing, schedule, and any special considerations are crucial for a smooth collaboration.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have attended makeup classes, continuous learning, staying updated on trends and gaining hands-on experience through internships and freelance work are essential aspects of a makeup artist’s education.
