What to Ask Before Hiring A Makeup Artist and Hairstylist

Updated: Apr 18, 2022

Wedding ceremonies are among the most special you can have. Thus, every bride should do her best to see everything works out perfectly on that day.


As the bride-to-be, your makeup and hairstyling session is so important you have to make sure nothing messes it up. Here are some important questions you should ask before making that big decision to hire a makeup artist and hairstylist.



· Do you have a work portfolio I could look at?

Before you hire a makeup artist or hairstylist for your wedding, you need to be sure that you are hiring someone who is competent. Not to sound harsh, but hiring an amateur is a terrible idea. How do you identify the professionals?


One of the easiest ways is by asking for their portfolio. You need to see their previous ‘works’ for yourself. If you are not comfortable with what you see, it’s very likely you won't be satisfied with your session with them. However, if you really like what you see in the portfolio, you could as well give them a shot.


· Will I have to travel to you or do you work on-site?

Yes, that's also a very important question to ask. You need to know how accessible the makeup artists or hairstylists may be. You should ask if they would be able to come to you or if you must go to them. Wedding preparations are usually time-consuming and require your full attention, depending on how involved you are in the wedding planning process.


If you will be very busy, we advise you to hire a mobile makeup artist and hairstylist. That way, you don’t have to go to them. But not all makeup artists and hairstylists are mobile, so be mindful of that.


· Do you do a trial run before the real event?

Ask the makeup artist and hairstylists if they do trial runs for their clients. This could give you a firsthand idea about what to expect during your makeup session. A trial run helps in making good decisions about hiring the right makeup artist and hairstylist. And you'll get the chance to communicate exactly what you want for your wedding makeup and hairstyling.


· Are there any other extra charges to know about?

After making preparations for payment of your makeup and hairstyling session, it is necessary to ask if you should expect any extra charges during the session. Such charges include overtime, tax, travel charges, or similar issues. Because trust us when we say extra or unexpected expenses are not funny.
