TRAVEL CHARGES & ASSOCIATED FEES
There are many queries as to why artists charge the amount they charge for travel. To you our valuable customer, please read the following carefully.
Often when your artist needs to travel to your location for makeup, she takes extensive amount of time packing up her makeup kit she carries as well as other equipment that aids them in the process of creating and perfecting their craft on you. These can include but are not limited to tables, lighting, chairs, and more. Sometimes your artist can encounter location with stairs. She has to travel backward and forth to ensure every piece of equipment is brought to the location to service you.
Your artist accounts for the distance and the time it takes from the usual set location to the location you provid. This means blocking off extra time to get to you on time and sometimes we can encounter commute - which results in more time to be blocked off. The time blocked for travel also takes the space for another client who may be requiring makeup. We also take into consideration parking charges and car maintenance. The travel fee accounts for the time, the distance it takes to get to you, and the inability to take another client as the time is taken to travel.
We hope this has made clear why we charge travel costs. We want to be able to provide services to as many beauties as you. So please only book the service you require.
OUT-OF-STUDIO COST
Out-of-studio cost is a one-off fee as part of the travel cost set by your artist to compensate for loss of bookings whilst traveling to you. The fees is generally from $50 depending on how many hours your artist loses out on bookings. Please note if your booking is interstate, the fees are a bit more due to number of days your artist will be away for. Your artist will discuss this with you. Please also be reminded toll and parking charges are also added in travel costs.
EARLY START FEES (earlier than 8am)
Early start fees is the fees your artist charges if she needs to operate outside of her normal working hours.
If starting earlier than 8am, the charge on top of your makeup cost is $100per hour of early start. If operating after hours, same charges of $100 per hour applies. If operating on days off for your convenience, there is a flat charge of $400. You will be advised of this prior to booking.
