Hair and makeup survey

Help us make it easier to find a great makeup artist or hair stylist

Finding the right person for a wedding, formal or big night out can be hard work. We are looking at building a website that makes it easy, and we would love your help.

It takes about five minutes. Every question is optional, so skip anything you like.

The website idea

Picture a website where you type in your suburb, your date and what you need, and see local makeup artists and hair stylists with real reviews, real photos, prices and whether they are free.

How useful would a website like that be for you?
1 = Not useful5 = Very useful

How important would each of these be to you?

Reviews only from people who really booked them
See who is free on my date
Prices shown up front
Post my event once and get quotes back from artists
Book for a group (for example a bridal party)
Photos of real clients, not just styled shoots
Show only artists who come to me
Search by speciality (bridal, mature skin, curly hair, darker skin tones, cultural styles)
Book and pay a deposit online
Message the artist on the site
Book a trial session first
Would you post your event details (date, suburb, how many people) and let artists come back to you with quotes?
If booking through the site saved you time, would you pay a small booking fee?
