What a hair and makeup artist booking page starts with

Pick Hair & Makeup Artist at sign-up and setup suggests these services, add-ons and prices for hair and makeup - untick the half you don't do. Clients book event looks, lessons, trials and wedding days at your prices, adding friends or bridesmaids per person, and big parties tap "Check availability" instead. Change anything later under Settings > Service types and Add-ons.

Choosing booking software as a hair and makeup artist

Makeup artists searching for booking apps mostly land on Vagaro, Booksy and GlossGenius. They're good at salon-style appointments, payments and marketing, and they're priced like it.

For freelance hair and makeup, the details that matter are different: the occasion and date, how many people are getting ready, where you're doing it and the travel, and a deposit so the date is yours. 1MinuteBooking asks for those details on every booking, prices each look and each extra person up front, and sends big wedding parties to a Check availability form.

If you want to be found by new clients on a marketplace, a platform like Booksy is built for that. If your bookings come from Instagram and referrals, 1MinuteBooking turns them into paid bookings for proms, parties, shoots and weddings. It's free, with no time limit.

Questions hair and makeup artists ask

What's the best booking app for makeup artists?

If you want a marketplace and point of sale, Vagaro, Booksy and GlossGenius are built for that. If your clients already find you on Instagram and you need event looks, lessons, bridal trials and deposits handled, 1MinuteBooking does it for free.

Is there a free booking system for makeup artists?

Yes. 1MinuteBooking's free plan has no time limit and includes bookings, card deposits, Check availability requests with photos, group bookings, upgrades, address collection and coupons. Pro is $10 USD a month.

Can a bride book her trial separately from her wedding day?

Yes - the trials and the wedding-day services are separate, each with its own price and length, so a bride books and pays for each on its own - with hair and makeup together in one appointment if she wants both.

Can friends or bridesmaids book onto the same appointment?

Yes - per-person add-ons sit on the event and wedding-day services: Another Person - Event Makeup ($80) for friends getting ready for the same prom or party, and Bridesmaid or Family - Makeup ($100) on the bride's day-of booking. Bigger parties use the Check availability form, which asks how many people are getting ready.

Do I get the getting-ready location?

Yes - every booking and every Check availability request asks where the client is getting ready (or "studio" if they're coming to you), so you always know where to be.

Can I block off dates I'm already booked for?

Yes. A confirmed booking holds its time. To keep the rest of a wedding Saturday free, add the date under Blackout Dates & Times and no one else can book it.

Can I charge a deposit to hold a date?

Yes. Turn on Stripe Payments and clients pay a deposit or the full price when they book an event look, a lesson or a trial. For a wedding party priced from a Check availability request, send your price with a deposit link (Booking Details > Card payment) once you've agreed it.

Can I offer a discount for off-season or weekday bookings?

Yes - make a weekday, prom-season or off-season code in Settings > Coupons, a percent or flat amount off before tax with an optional expiry date, and share it with clients.

Can I charge for travel, and block time on my calendar for the drive?

Yes - with location options. The Hair & Makeup Artist preset starts with "Our studio" (no charge, for clients who come to you), "We come to you - within 20 miles (30 km) of us" (+$25), "We come to you - 20-40 miles (30-65 km) away" (+$50) and "We come to you - more than 40 miles (65 km) away, we confirm first" (+$100). Clients who come to you see your business address on the booking page and in their emails. Change the names, prices and travel times, or add your own, under Settings > Locations. The drive time blocks your calendar but is never shown to the client.
