We love bringing together other talented professionals to help our clients look their best. If you’re interested in hiring a stylist to do your hair & makeup we can help connect you. We work with stylists on a regular basis who know how to keep things looking natural so you look like the best version of yourself and avoid heavy and overly done makeup. For business and actor headshots it’s important to feel confident and style yourself as you would when going to see your best clients or casting directors.
A hair & makeup stylist can help you by:
- Reducing shine on the skin and creating a matte finish that looks natural
- Creating subtle contours to enhance facial structure
- Choosing colors and techniques that read well on camera
- Ensuring makeup looks perfect from multiple angles

A hair/MUP stylist can give you a big confidence boost! When you feel good about how you look, it naturally translates into more relaxed and genuine expressions in your photos. Plus, it’s fun to treat yourself and make the day special. Make the most of it and schedule a special lunch date after your headshot session.
Here’s a few additional details to help you be prepared if you’re interested in hiring a hair/MUP stylist for your headshot session:
- Cost for both hair & makeup can vary and usually runs between $150-$250, depending on things like: length of hair, if you come to them or they go to you, specific services or special needs required. You can also break it up and just have your hair blown-out or just get your makeup done for about $75 for one or the other.
- Not all stylists work in a salon. Many stylists work from home studios and some will even come to you. Again prices vary depending on where the services take place.
- You’ll need to set aside 90min to have both hair & makeup done.
- Depending on where you have your styling done be sure to allow time to get to your headshot session as we don’t have an on-site stylist
