Built for Makeup Artists

Booking Software Built for the Way Makeup Artists Actually Work

Collect deposits, manage bridal trials alongside day-of appointments, and handle mobile bookings — all without spreadsheets or back-and-forth DMs.

Common Challenges

We understand what makeup artists deal with every day

1

Clients hold your bridal date then cancel last minute

You hold a Saturday, turn away other enquiries, then the client cancels a week before. Without a deposit system, that's an entire day's income lost with nothing to show for it.

2

Managing trials alongside wedding-day bookings is messy

Bridal packages often mean two separate appointments months apart — a trial and the day itself. Tracking these manually across different tools is error-prone and time-consuming.

3

Prep instructions never reach clients in time

Clients arrive with heavy skincare, false lashes on, or the wrong skin prep — because your booking confirmation had none of that information. The fix is simple, but it needs to be automatic.

How ClientaHub Helps

Features designed for makeup artists

Deposits Collected Automatically at Booking

Set a deposit amount for any service. Clients pay it at the point of booking — before the date is confirmed. No more chasing payment or holding dates on good faith.

  • Fixed or percentage-based deposit amounts
  • Stripe-powered secure card collection
  • Non-refundable policy enforced automatically

Bridal Package Booking (Trial + Day-Of)

Create linked appointment types so a bridal booking automatically schedules both the trial and the wedding day — months apart — as a single package.

  • Package pricing for trial + day-of
  • Separate calendar slots for each session
  • Client receives reminders for both appointments

Automated Prep Instructions in Confirmation Emails

Every booking confirmation includes your custom prep instructions — skin prep, what to wear, what to avoid. Clients arrive ready, every time.

  • Customisable confirmation email per service type
  • Instructions sent immediately on booking
  • Reminder email 48h before reinforces prep steps

Client Notes for Skin Type and Allergies

Record skin type, product sensitivities, and reference photo links per client so you're prepared before every appointment — especially for repeat bridal clients.

  • Allergy and sensitivity notes
  • Skin type and undertone preferences
  • Reference photo links or attachment notes

FAQ

Questions from makeup artists

Can I collect a non-refundable deposit when a client books?
Yes. You set the deposit amount (fixed or a percentage) and it's collected via Stripe at the point of booking. The date is only confirmed once payment clears — so you're never holding dates on a verbal promise.
How do I manage a bridal booking that includes both a trial and the wedding day?
You can create a bridal package that spans two separate appointments — the trial session and the day itself. Both show up in your calendar and the client receives reminders for each.
Can I add skin prep instructions to automated confirmation emails?
Yes. You can fully customise the confirmation email for each service type. Bridal bookings might include a detailed prep checklist; shorter bookings might just have a brief note. Clients receive the relevant instructions automatically.
Does ClientaHub work for mobile makeup artists who travel to clients?
Yes. Your booking page collects the client's location at time of booking. You can set a travel radius and add a travel fee for locations outside a certain distance from your base.
Can I set a strict no-cancellation window close to the appointment date?
Yes. You define the cancellation policy — for example, no refunds within 14 days of the appointment. This policy is shown to clients at booking, and the system enforces it automatically.
