FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

*How long have you been a hairstylist and makeup artist? Where are you based?

I received my Master Cosmetologist license March 2010 and have been working as a licensed hairstylist since then. I started cutting and styling hair almost a decade before I decided to pursue it as a career. I started offering makeup services October 2013 when I started Pure Beauty by Patience (formerly Intensify by Patience). I am currently based in Warner Robins, GA.

*How far will you travel to provide services?

So far I have serviced clients in Vermont, Washington, Wyoming, Montana, California, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, The Carolinas, and all over Georgia.
 

*What brands of makeup products do you use?

I use clean, non-toxic makeup brands ranging from Well People to Cover FX currently in my kit. Clean beauty is not just a trend, I believe that it is here to stay! You can have flawless, long-wear makeup without the toxins and chemicals that have been marketed in a lot of commerical brands. The more awareness I have gained on this, the more I feel held accountable to be more conscious of what I am putting on clients’ skin and to choose products that I know will benefit their skin and overall health, not harm it!

*Do you practice sanitation during sessions?

Yes! Sanitation is important and should be a practice of any professional makeup artist. I use a freshly cleaned set of makeup brushes on each and every client, especially when servicing bridal parties/groups of ladies. I use waterproof mascara and I apply it to a separate disposable mascara wand for each coat to prevent double dipping. I apply lipstick to a palette or back of my hand before applying it to a client's lips. I never apply lipstick to lips straight from the tube unless I am giving/selling that tube to the client. I also sanitize my hands in between and before I touch each client’s face. When I style hair, you will NEVER see me whip out a brush loaded with previous clients' hair or use bobby pins that have been used in anyone else's hair. I use separate, clean combs and brushes for each client and any bobby pins used are brand new.

*Do you require a retainer/deposit to hold my wedding date/appointment?

Yes, I require a retainer/deposit for ALL bookings. For weddings, a bridal contract and retainer are required to secure your wedding date. For all other non-wedding appointments, all that is required to secure your appointment on my calendar is a deposit. If the appointment is held, the deposit is credited towards your total cost. The remaining amount is due on the appointment date. If the client cancels for any reason, the deposit will be credited to a future session date within a year of the original date booked.

*When should I schedule my trial-run and where will it be held?

Trial-runs are held 6-8 weeks prior to your wedding date and are mandatory! Trials are held at the client's home or location of choice, however there may be a travel fee incurred. There is also the option to come to me in Warner Robins, GA.

*What if I have additional questions?

I am sure that some of you may still have questions for me and that’s totally fine! You can contact me at my email address purebeautybypatience@gmail.com or go to the CONTACT + CALENDAR tab and send me an inquiry about a question you may have or to begin the process of booking my services. I look forward to hearing from you!
