Finding hair and makeup artists

Tayler, on July 2, 2021 at 10:39 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 9

Alright... I really have no idea how to start finding a hair and makeup artist. Where do I even begin?! What things should I look out for? Thank you in advanced for any advice!

    Try the thumbtack app. You can see their work, rates and reviews.

    I looked up ones that were closer to our venue than us. Ours is 2 hours away from our home, so I did this to help cut the travel fee down. Once I did that, I looked at reviews and any social media each vendor had. I compared prices for each, and also looked at their hair & mua's works to see if they have experience with the type of look I'm going for. After that, I reached out to my pick and told them how many needed their services, and which artists I was interested in booking.

    The next step is booking my trial run, which is included in my bridal package.

    I'd ask them if they require deposits, how they accept payment, when payment(s) are due, and what their travel fee is.

    You can look on thumbtack but you can also ask for recommendation on social media. That's what I did and ended up finding a MUA that I absolutely lovedddd. I've since gone to only her for all of my events!

    I would ask around some friends and family. Someone should know the perfect person for you!

    I definitely agree with the other ladies who used thumbtack! You can read reviews, some post pictures of just recent work and they give pricing. Some reply back immediately as well.

    If you go on Instagram, you can look at tagged photos. Many times local MUA & Hair stylist will tag themselves. I’d still look them up to see reviews like previously mentioned.

    Instagram is your best friend. Do a search for “yourcityweddinghair” or “yourcityweddingmakeup”.

    I did a search for people between where we live and where our venue is, and having found some, I looked up their socials, read reviews, then went for a trial. I went for ones which seemed to have good reviews, that I got on with, and that had consistent results on their instagram.

    Instagram is where I found mine. Make sure to read comments on their page and reviews.
