Found a MUA I love and want to book, but apparently she will only provide the contract after I put down the deposit. She has tons of great reviews, a slew of followers on Instagram and Facebook, etc. however I'm a little put off by this and expressed my concern when she told me this procedure. As a professional I have never asked any of my clients to provide me with a deposit before I gave them or even showed them the contract, nor have any of my vendors done this. Anyone have a similar experience? Advice please? Total deposit would be $140.00.
