Question 1

What comes with your mobile beauty appointment, and what do you need to prepare?

Accepted Answer

You can relax — we bring the luxury setup with us. That includes our professional kit, lighting, tools, hair and makeup products, and the gear needed to create a polished, camera-ready finish wherever you are.

For the smoothest appointment, please have a clean, prepped space with a little room to work, access to at least one outlet, and good natural light if possible. If you're receiving hair services, arriving with clean, dry hair helps your style hold beautifully. For makeup, come with a clean face and any inspiration photos you want to share.

Question 2

I have an appointment booked already; how should I best prepare for my services at Pink Mantis Beauty?

Accepted Answer

To ensure the best results from your appointment at Pink Mantis Beauty, arrive with clean, dry hair unless otherwise instructed, as this allows our stylists to work more effectively. Avoid applying heavy makeup or skincare products, so our makeup artists can create a flawless look tailored to your features. If you have specific inspiration or reference images, bring them along to help communicate your desired style. For bridal or event clients, wear a button-up shirt or outfit that won’t disrupt your hair or makeup when changing. Additionally, communicate any allergies, sensitivities, or preferences ahead of time to help us customize your experience safely. Arriving on time and well-rested also contributes to a smooth, timely session, ensuring you look your absolute best for your photoshoot, production, or special event. The attached file should also be emailed to your client member account email, upon confirmation. Also need touch-up products for your appointment? Order them here and have them shipped straight to you!

Question 3

How do you know which inquiry type fits your event?

Accepted Answer

Use the bridal or special event inquiry for weddings, trials, bridal parties, galas, showers, and personal celebrations. Use the production or corporate inquiry for film, TV, commercials, photo shoots, headshots, executive events, conferences, and team bookings.

Not sure which one to pick? No problem. Choose the closest match and share your event details. That helps you get routed to the right service, timing, and quote faster.
