Being a bridal hair and makeup artist is not just about transforming brides into their most stunning selves on their special day.

It’s also an opportunity to elevate your career and increase your income. 

Let’s get you started.

Here are three PROVEN effective strategies to boost your income while working with brides in 2023.

Where’s the proof? Just look at all my clients.

Go Live on Instagram or Facebook

It can’t be ignored. If you’re not going Live, you’re missing out.

Social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook offer tremendous opportunities to showcase your talent and connect with potential brides. Consider going live on these platforms to engage with your audience in real time, letting them get to know you. This can be a great way to demonstrate your skills, answer questions, and build a strong rapport with your followers.

During your live sessions, you can show your personality, offer exclusive bridal beauty tips, behind-the-scenes peeks into your work, and even provide live consultations.

In no time, you’ll not only attract potential brides but also establish yourself as an expert in your field. 

Get Better at Copywriting and Social Media Posts

People only read what they find INTERESTING.

Invest time in improving your writing skills or consider hiring a professional copywriter who understands your brand and can create compelling content for your website, social media profiles, and blog.

Well-crafted posts can help you stand out among the competition, captivate your audience, and generate leads – don’t let it slip.

Build Your Confidence by Practicing on Friends and Family

Confidence is key when working with brides! To boost your confidence and refine your skills, don’t hesitate to practice with friends and family members. You can offer to do their hair and makeup for special occasions or even organise bridal-themed photoshoots to gain valuable experience that you can then take on to real brides.

Working with familiar faces will allow you to experiment with different looks, techniques, and products, ensuring you’re well-prepared for any bridal request. Don’t forget, you can also request honest feedback from your loved ones, enabling you to continuously improve your craft.

Embrace these opportunities and watch your income SOAR as you continue to excel in your craft.
