Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I have a package for both makeup and hair. I provide all the makeup products. And I use only high quality and the top of the market brands such as Lancôme, Estée Lauder, Nars, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Tarte, etc. I also provide false lashes if you would like, I have some options for you to choose from natural to dramatic. But you are welcome to use your own products. I provide the hair styling products, including bobby pins, hair buns for styling. I don't provide hair accessories and hair extensions, if you would like to use them please provide them for me. And I will apply them for you. I am located in Nyack, NY if you would like me to travel to you, there might be a travel fee depends on where the location is. I can't give a discount for a big party because I have to bring other artists to work with me. For efficiency in time and work. Please kindly understand.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I would like to know the time, date and location of the event first to check my availability. I would like to know how many people that will need the service, what time that you need to be done and how early can you start. Then I would like to answer all the questions that you have, please feel free to ask me anything. And I would like to see what is the makeup and hair style that you are looking for. The best way is to send me pictures of your ideas so we are on the same page. Also the pictures of your current hair so I can estimate how to achieve the look. Knowing the makeup and hair style before, will help me to estimate the time for the session. The date will not secure until I get confirmed from you. I will accept booking from whoever confirm with me first.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have certificates from Nina Mua, NYC for Makeup Artistry Program and Hairstyling Program for Makeup Artists.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I love doing makeup and hair for more than 5 years, I always do it on my friends. I started working on clients after I graduated from beauty school in February 2018.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have done all different types of customers for both makeup and hair styling, from younger than 5 years old until over 70 years old. From little flower girl's hair, Bat Mitzvah girl, beautiful brides and bridesmaids, mother of the bride and groom, birthday for grandmother, professional head shot and all the men that need to look good in the picture. I have worked with all kind of skin tones from African-American, Asian to very pale skin tones. I have worked with from very thin straight hair to thick kinky curly hair.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I love when I am doing hair and makeup so I always feel happy when I am doing it. And it doesn't matter what occasion it is. But wedding always make me feel excitement and joyful, I love to see when the bride see herself after she gets makeup and hair done. (They always cry) Usually doing makeup will take about 30-40 minutes and about an hour for hair styling per person. But it depends on the hair style that you want and your natural hair.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Looking for someone who love what they are doing. :)

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What is your budget? How many people that would need the service? The time that you need everyone to be done? And how early can you start? What kind of makeup and hair style that you are looking for? Can it be flexible? Would you like professionals travel to you?
