I am a make=up artist (esthetician) and I am interested in doing make-up for weddings. Anyone know how to go about doing this?

Do some for friends or relatives...take pictures of the process and finished product. Make business cards that advertise...and tell them to tell their friends! If they like your work...word will get around that way.
Another good thing to do is demonstrations at bridal shows or other conventions for women. Do "makeovers" where you just do eyes or something. Show people WHY you are the best choice for their wedding. Have lots of pictures of your work! People LOVE getting their makeup done in those things...you can have a drawing for a free session if people sign up for your mailing list. That way you get contacts and exposure.

1. Scout out location, pick your theme and get decoration ideas (something classy but don't go steep into expensive things because you need to save some cash for later tips)/
2. Call your local chamber of commerce to see about getting a business license.
3. Consult the rules and regulations of estheticians in practice, do you need to display your license, ect.
4. Get business insurance in case you have any problems such as someone having an illergic reaction, etc.
5. ADVERTISE! Start out by putting ads in local papers, and mags. Stop by bridal shops and ask to leave your business card. Start small, don't overspend and remember that word of mouth adervertising is the best type.
Take your time, be a people person, and look forward to future activities and/or events and keep control of your prices.

You will first have to have a license to do so. Then, I'd make up some business cards and drop them off at bridal boutiques, advertise in bridal publications and attend bridal fairs to get the word out.

get the required papers/certifications, etc, then talk to your existing clients, make business cards (you can design your own cards on a computer, and then print them out with business card paper from staples, or some store like that), Give them cards to give to people who they know, even if they aren't definitely getting married. Dish out the money to put an ad in the newspaper. Publicity, publicity, publicity!
Good luck!

Sell Mary Kay or Avon and put your business cards in bridal boutiques.
