The Benefits Of Hiring A Separate Makeup And Hair Team
Assemble your wedding beauty squad, boo! It's time to book them for the big day, but here's the million-dollar question: Should you hire one team or split them up? Fear not, my friend! I've got your back with my top 3 reasons why having two squads is better than one. Get ready to slay that aisle!
Expertise
Divided Energy
It’s no secret that becoming a great makeup artist or hairstylist requires a lot of time and energy. You don’t graduate from school being great because they barely teach all the things you need to be successful in the wedding industry. So in order to be great, keep up with trends that align with your artistry style, and being on top of business needs you need to give a lot of time and energy. Now imagine that times two!
With being in the wedding industry for 10 years, I have seen businesses become burnt out and eventually niche down to the side of the beauty industry they are most passionate about. I can confidently say, that you can always tell if a beauty pro is passionate for hair or makeup by the outcome of the look.
Sooo Many People
If you opt to hire one team to provide hair and makeup services for everyone, then you will need a larger team to cater to the average party size of 8 people. Depending on several factors regarding hair, you may need up to three stylists and two makeup artists. Keep in mind that an additional charge is incurred for each stylist or artist required to complete the services. Therefore, the total cost will add up quickly.
On the other hand, if you choose to hire separate hair and makeup companies, you'll only need one less person, and both companies can focus on their area of expertise to give you and each member of your party the experience they deserve on your special day.
Things That Matter
We take pride in serving clients who have unique requirements. In fact, approximately 70% of our clients have specific needs, such as in-depth knowledge of various skin tones, makeup for all ages, and the ability to provide a customized look that complements their wedding day aesthetic.
Our team has spent years perfecting these skills, while continuing to expand our knowledge, promote our brand, and deliver outstanding service. Looking back, we recognize that we had to prioritize and put our focus on specific areas. For instance, I dedicated my time to perfecting skin health and makeup, while acknowledging hair styling was not my forte. This is a common experience for many beauty professionals, even if they don't want to admit it.
DOLLA DOLLA DOLLA BILLS YALL
I’ll Save Money
Years ago, it was common to offer hair and makeup services together. However, it became apparent that specializing in one area was the best approach. Despite this, many people still believe that hiring one team for both services will save them money. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Reliable beauty businesses typically charge similar rates, whether you use one team or two. Therefore, separating the services into two invoices won't make a significant price difference.

LESS HASSLE
Coordination With Multiple People
We get it! You are already having to hire numerous of vendors in order to put your wedding together and the thought of making beauty one instead of two sounds great. We take timeline coordination off your plate and always speak with your hairstylist to see if our timelines line up. We even provide a list of our preferred hairstylist that we have worked with and talk on the regular to plan your trial run on the same day.
We understand the amount of vendors you need to hire to make your wedding day perfect, which is why hiring one team might seems like the best way. But when you hire an experienced makeup team we take care of glam timeline coordination and communication with your hairstylist to ensure everything runs seamlessly. Additionally, we offer a list of preferred hairstylists that we work with regularly, and we plan your trial run on the same day to save you time and hassle.
Hey, let's be real! When it comes to your wedding day, you want to make sure you're glowing with the right vibes and slayin' like a queen! Am I right, or am I right?!
Consider this scenario that I've observed numerous times: Imagine your one beauty team cancels on you for any reason or simply disappears. Now you're scrambling to find a new hair and makeup team, which can be incredibly stressful. The possibility of this happening two separate teams is highly unlikely.
As you book your weddings for 2024 and 2025, I hope this blog has given you some food for thought. If you've come to the conclusion that you'd prefer to hire separate teams, let's talk!
