3 Things You Might Be Forgetting When Booking Your HMUA

There are a few things brides often forget to consider before working with their perfect Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist. These details might seem small, but they can affect how confident you feel leading up to (and on) your big day.

Let’s go through them.


1. They’ve never seen you before, and don’t know your everyday style

Your HMUA isn’t a mind reader.

Let them know:

  • What you usually wear day-to-day

  • How comfortable you are with makeup

  • Whether you normally wear your hair up or down

This helps them design a look that still feels like you, just elevated.

💡 Upload reference images to your client portal ahead of time so they can prepare.


2. Their feed reflects their style, so make sure it aligns with yours

Do they mostly post ultra-glam, full-coverage makeup and slick ponytails?

If you’re looking for a natural, boho vibe, that might not be the right match, even if their work is beautiful.

Pay attention to their signature style, not just how many likes their posts have.


3. Their pricing reflects years of training, skill and experience

It’s easy to look at a quote and compare numbers.

But behind every price is:

  • Years of professional training

  • High-end kit and hygiene standards

  • Insurance, licensing, and a reliable business process

  • A calm presence on your wedding morning


A great HMUA isn’t just doing makeup. They’re setting the tone for your day and that’s priceless.

These aren’t just boxes to tick. They’re the foundation of a booking you’ll feel 100% confident about.
