Bridal makeup booking for makeup artists who travel to the bride

Weekends are your income, and they're easy to lose. A couple holds a Saturday for weeks, then books someone else. Two enquiries for the same date both get a yes. A bridesmaid's makeup is added on the morning with no time for it. And home visits in Jurong and Pasir Ris on the same morning only work if someone planned the drive.

Choose Makeup & bridal and you start with bridal makeup at S$450 for 2 hours with a S$150 deposit, event makeup at S$120 for an hour and a makeup trial at S$150 for 90 minutes. Write what each includes in its description, such as false lashes and a touch-up kit, and add options with prices, like hair styling.

For event makeup, let clients book more than one: set how many can be booked at once, and 3 bridesmaids take three times as long and cost three times as much. Set your hours for each day of the week, with early starts on Saturdays and Sundays, and add days off.

Choose where you work: at your studio, at the client's place, or either. For home visits, the client gives the address when booking, and the app keeps travel time before and after, say 45 minutes, so the next booking can't start before you can get there. Notes and a booking question, such as 'How many people need makeup?', give you the details up front.

The S$150 deposit is paid when the bride books, and the date is hers once it's in; unpaid, the time is released after 2 hours. If she cancels, you keep it or refund it. After the wedding, you take the balance. With your own SMS or email account connected, she's asked for a review, and happy brides are pointed to your Google review page too.

Clients can book online up to 90 days ahead. Bookings open up to 90 days ahead. For a wedding further out, the app can't hold the date yet: note it on the bride's customer record and book the time once it opens.
