If you’ve ever paused before replying to “what’s your rate?”, this is for you.
 
Most freelance hair and makeup artists aren’t taught how to price themselves. You end up figuring it out as you go, second guessing, adjusting on the spot, and hoping you’ve said the right thing.
 
This one-page sheet gives you a clear starting point. It covers typical day rates across different levels, how to respond when someone asks your rate, and how to handle it when the budget doesn’t match.
 
It’s designed to take the pressure out of that moment so you’re not overthinking every reply or defaulting to something lower than you meant to say.
 
You don’t need a long guide or a complicated strategy. You just need to know what to say and feel comfortable saying it.
 
This is about charging in a way that reflects your work and being taken seriously when you do.
