Makeup artistry is dominated by events, and events distort everything about how the business runs. Bridal work is booked a year ahead, involves a trial months before the day, frequently covers a party of several people, and absolutely cannot be rescheduled. That is a completely different commercial problem from a weekday editorial booking or an evening party face. The trade’s recurring difficulty is that one pricing structure gets stretched across both, so either the bridal work is underpriced for the commitment it represents or the everyday work is priced out of reach.
The billing structures this trade actually uses — and what each one means for getting paid. Every one of them can sit on a single rate card.
Weddings.
Should cover the trial, the day, and travel as one quoted price with a deposit at booking.
Bridesmaids, mothers, guests.
Priced per additional person so the party can grow without renegotiating.
Every bridal booking.
Real chair time months before the event, and should not be free.
Parties, editorial, photoshoots.
Hourly or half-day, distinct from bridal pricing.
The payment problems specific to this trade, and what actually fixes each one.
A wedding date is blocked out a year in advance. If the booking falls through, that Saturday in peak season is gone.
A substantial deposit at booking is proportionate to holding a peak date for twelve months.
The party grows. Two bridesmaids become five, and the extra faces get agreed by message and forgotten.
Per-face pricing lets additions be booked and charged as they are agreed.
Trials are treated as part of the sale rather than as billable work.
Price the trial as its own service.

Booking a wedding blocks a peak Saturday for up to a year, so deposits in this trade are typically substantial. What matters most is that the amount and the cancellation terms are stated clearly when the booking is made.
It is real chair time, often months before the event, so most artists price it separately. Some credit it against the final balance, which keeps it from being a barrier while still valuing the time.
With RateCards.app, clients pay directly through your link — no invoices, no chasing. Payment is processed through Stripe and typically arrives in your account fast.1
