Question 1

How do Thai makeup artists manage wedding bookings and deposits?

Accepted Answer

Thai freelance makeup artists using Suriya manage wedding bookings through an availability calendar that shows open dates in real time. When a bride selects a date and service package, the system requires a deposit of three thousand to five thousand baht via PromptPay before the date is blocked. This eliminates the common problem of brides booking through LINE, promising to transfer later, then disappearing two weeks before the wedding. The structured enquiry form captures skin type, reference photos, venue details, and timeline so the artist has a complete brief before responding.

Question 2

Do I need to stop using Instagram to promote my work?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Instagram remains excellent for discovery and showcasing your artistry to new audiences. Suriya complements Instagram by giving you a professional booking system behind your link-in-bio. When potential clients find you on Instagram and want to book, they tap through to your branded page with an availability calendar, service menu with transparent pricing, and a structured enquiry form. The key difference is that Suriya converts Instagram followers into confirmed, deposit-secured bookings instead of DM conversations that go nowhere after five exchanges.

Question 3

What if a client cancels after paying the deposit?

Accepted Answer

You set your own cancellation policy — for example, full refund if cancelled fourteen days before the date, fifty percent refund within seven days, and no refund within forty-eight hours. The policy is displayed clearly during booking so clients agree before paying. If a client cancels within the no-refund window, you keep the deposit and the date reopens on your calendar for someone else to book. Most makeup artists set a three-thousand-baht non-refundable deposit that covers their opportunity cost of blocking that date during peak wedding season.

Question 4

Can I offer different packages at different price points?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You create multiple service packages — for example, bridal glam at eight thousand baht including trial, bridesmaid makeup at three thousand baht per person, editorial at twelve thousand baht for a full-day shoot, and everyday glam at two thousand five hundred baht. Each package lists exactly what is included: number of looks, products used, touch-up service, travel radius, and estimated duration. Clients choose their package during booking and the deposit amount adjusts automatically based on the service selected.

Question 5

I work from clients' locations — does this still work for mobile makeup artists?

Accepted Answer

Suriya works perfectly for mobile makeup artists who travel to clients. You set a travel radius — for example, free within Bangkok, plus five hundred baht for Nonthaburi or Pathum Thani, plus one thousand baht for locations beyond thirty kilometres. The booking form includes a venue address field so you know exactly where to go. Travel fees are added to the total automatically. Clients in your service area see accurate all-in pricing, and clients outside your radius see a clear message about the travel surcharge before they book.
