HMUA - hair and make up artist
most of my friends who are also getting married (actually, i wil be attending 4 weddings before our my wedding. 1 in june, 2 in december and last one in january) were discussing their choices for HMUA.
so i started to scout, er, more like canvass for the rates. i emailed jacq laurente, chi chi sotomil and cherry pacheco uy. i looked up on their multiply sites as well.
i was trying to look for eddie bruan samples sa web, but i could not find one so di na lang ako nag-email. i heard reviews abt bambi fuentes and val villarin. but i only emailed the first 3 i mentioned.
the first to reply was ms. jacq laurente, her reply goes:
"My basic package is Php12,500 which includes bride and 3 others,
unlimited retouch until start of the reception.
( other option Php 10,000 no retouch).
Free groom prep if he's in the same venue, free hair and make up for 2 flower girls. "
the next to reply naman is chichi sotomil:

i really wanted ms. cherry to be my HMUA, i don't know why, but im guessing na woman's instinct.hehehe. although its a tad early for me to book my HMUA, i booked her already via email. deposited the 50% downpayment sa bank and faxed the deposit slip to her landline number.
when i inquired about the rates, i already told them na morning cermenoy kme and since the wedding is at 9am, the preps would usually start at 4 am. as in, 4am pa lang, nsa hotel na sila to do my make up kz in 2 hours, andun na daw yn photo/video naman. hay, im thinking of the eyebugs, the dark circles, i hope ms cherry could do something about it.
also, i asked for discounts kz i read somewhere sa w@w that she was given a free upgrade from regular to airbrush makeup. when i asked ms. cherry, she told me na the price she quoted is for regular hours meaning since 9am wedding kme, she would have to charge for overtime rates. actually, i heard about this issue before with an officemate that HMUA will usually charge an extra fee for morning weddings. but since it was her fault that she quoted me the regular rate, she waived the overtime fee of P3K. so that goes my discount...
in one of my emails to ms. cherry, i mentioned also na we will also have a dinner reception in Batangas so i inquired about airbrush makeup. i have very limited knowledge about make-up and i have not tried or seen air brush make up. she suggested that i use the air brush makeup kz mas long lasting yn effect nya. and as a wedding gift, she will give me the powder and lipstick so i can retouch later on sa dinner reception. ok, so i guess, paul and joe make up yn ibibigay nya sa kin. hehehe. im thrilled, im excited...
i will have my trial make up in one of the weddings of my friend in january kz weekday yn wedding nya and i dont want to deprive her naman of a business opportunity on december considering na peak season sya for weddings.
