Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new client, I start by getting to know them—their personality, style preferences, and any inspiration they have in mind. I believe beauty is deeply personal, so I take the time to understand what makes them feel their best. From there, we discuss the look they want to achieve, whether it’s for a special occasion, photoshoot, or everyday confidence. I offer guidance on styles that highlight their unique features and fit the vision they’re aiming for. Since I work closely with a media agency, I can also arrange professional photography and videography to capture the final result perfectly, ensuring they leave not only feeling beautiful but with images to cherish.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I bring over a decade of hands-on experience in the beauty industry, which has given me a deep understanding of makeup and hair styling techniques, as well as an eye for aesthetics that resonate with my clients. I’ve continually refined my skills through workshops, advanced beauty courses, and ongoing training to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques. This dedication to learning allows me to create looks that are not only stylish but also personalized. Working with a media agency has further expanded my expertise, especially in preparing clients for high-quality photo and video shoots, ensuring every detail is camera-ready.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Yes, I offer a range of pricing options tailored to different needs. My services start at $150 for a basic makeup or hair session. For clients interested in combined makeup and hair styling packages, I offer bundled rates starting at $250. For event or bridal makeup and hair, I provide customized packages based on the time, location, and specific requirements of the look.
If you’re also looking for professional photos or videos to capture the final look, my partnership with a media agency allows me to offer competitive add-on packages for full photography and videography services. Please feel free to reach out, and we can find the option that best fits your vision and budget!
How did you get started in this business?
My journey in the beauty industry began with a genuine love for makeup and hair styling, sparked by the incredible transformation and confidence it can bring to people. Over 10 years ago, I started experimenting with different looks, learning new techniques, and sharing my work with friends and family. Their excitement and support encouraged me to pursue beauty as a career, and I committed myself to refining my skills and building a client base.
As I gained experience, I recognized the power of capturing these transformations through high-quality photos and videos. This led me to partner with a media agency, where I could combine my passion for beauty with the art of visual storytelling. Today, I’m grateful to offer clients not only stunning looks but also the opportunity to see themselves in a whole new light.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I’ve had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of clients, each with unique needs and styles. My clientele includes individuals preparing for special events like weddings, proms, and milestone celebrations, as well as professionals needing a polished look for headshots, branding sessions, and media appearances. I’ve also collaborated with models, influencers, and entrepreneurs who want to elevate their personal brands. Thanks to my partnership with a media agency, I can support clients seeking full photo and video services to ensure their look is captured flawlessly. No matter the occasion, I love working with people who are excited to express themselves and feel their best!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my favorite recent experiences was working on a bridal party for a close-knit, intimate wedding. The bride and her bridesmaids were so excited and trusted me completely with their looks, which made the experience incredibly fulfilling. We spent the morning together, getting everyone ready in a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere filled with laughter and shared memories. I created soft, romantic makeup and hairstyles that highlighted each person’s natural beauty while aligning with the bride’s vision of an elegant, timeless look.
As a bonus, my media agency captured the entire day, so the bride now has stunning professional photos and videos of each moment, from preparation to celebration. Seeing the bride’s reaction to her final look, and knowing she would have these memories beautifully preserved, was such a rewarding feeling. This experience reminded me why I love what I do—it’s about helping people feel confident, beautiful, and celebrated on their special days.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
When looking to hire a beauty professional, start by exploring their portfolio to ensure their style aligns with the look you envision. Ask about their experience with similar events or clients to make sure they understand the unique demands of your occasion.
Be open and clear about what you’re looking for—share any inspiration photos or ideas so the artist can tailor their approach to your vision. For events, consider working with a pro who has access to a media team. High-quality photography and videography can capture your look beautifully, especially when the artist knows how to prepare you for the camera.
Finally, don’t be afraid to ask questions about the products they use and their process. A seasoned pro will be happy to explain how they’ll achieve a long-lasting, flawless result that brings out your best.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Before reaching out to a beauty pro, it’s helpful for customers to think through a few key questions to clarify their vision and ensure they find the right fit. Here are some things to consider:
1. What’s the occasion? Determine if it’s a special event, photoshoot, or casual makeover, as this will impact the style, intensity, and durability of the look you’re aiming for.
2. What’s your ideal style or look? Gather inspiration photos that reflect the look you love. Knowing if you prefer natural, glam, classic, or bold styles helps the artist understand your preferences.
3. What’s your budget? Decide on your budget range for the services you’re seeking, including any potential add-ons like photos or videos, if desired.
4. Do you have any specific skin or hair needs? If you have sensitive skin, specific skin tones, or hair textures, let the pro know so they can come prepared with the right products and techniques.
5. How do you want your look captured? If photos or videos are important, ask about options for media services to ensure your look is documented professionally.
Thinking these questions through will help you communicate your needs clearly, allowing the beauty professional to provide the best possible experience and results.
