FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I always want to be prepared for any situation, this necessitates me hauling a lot of equipment & supplies when I work on site (me working anyplace other than my home studio). Depending on the different circumstances of each job, I could bring just the basics, like my makeup cases, brushes, hair styling equipment, etc.... Or, there are jobs when I have to bring everything: my makeup chair, lighting, tables, fan, airbrushing equipment, wardrobe, accessories, etc... Because of this, I do charge more to go on site, or come to you. Depending on the milage involved, there are times that I also must charge a travel fee to cover the cost of gas, and other miscellaneous expenses.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, I take at least 3 classes a year to make sure I stay up to date on all the latest trends, colors, and techniques. In addition to that, I also subscribe to over 20 different beauty publications and read those on a regular basis. I also read many different books on makeup ande beauty and network with others in my industry.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure you ask questions like "How long have you been doing makeup professionally", "What type of training have you recieved", "What brands & types of equipment & products do you use" and also make sure you see examples of their work. Also, make sure you book a trial so you may see the quality of their work before a big event like a wedding.
