Wedding hair and makeup is a referral business that leaks money because almost no artist has a website worth linking to. Planners and photographers want to send you work — give them a page they can forward without explaining you first, and one that ranks for the searches brides run at 11pm.
Build it in this order
- Before-and-after on real brides. Not editorial. Real brides in real light, ideally with the photographer credited and linked.
- Your priced packages. Bride only, bride plus party, trial included or not, travel radius, early-start fee. Say the numbers.
- Skin tone and hair texture range. Show it in the gallery. This is the number one silent objection in this category.
- Minimums. "Weekend bookings have a 4-person minimum" stops the inquiries that waste your Saturday.
Pages that bring in strangers
- "Wedding hair and makeup [city]" — your money page.
- "Bridal makeup artist near [venue]" — one per venue you travel to.
- Service-specific pages. Airbrush, bridal hair only, trial, mature-skin bridal makeup — each is a real search.
