Get hair and makeup artist jobs in Edinburgh →How it works

There's steady hair and makeup artist work in Edinburgh: it's one of the UK's most-photographed wedding cities, with castle, country-house and Old Town options, and clients here book at Prestonfield House, The Balmoral and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh plus a long tail of smaller venues across the Lothians.

Local jobs generally pay £408–£700 for bridal hair and makeup. Bookt takes 7.5% only when a booking confirms — months without work cost you nothing.

Every lead includes the date, venue and budget before you commit to quoting. Edinburgh weekends book out early in the year — pros with finished profiles catch that first wave.

Hair & Makeup Artists jobs in Edinburgh — FAQs

Is there a fee to list as a hair and makeup artist in Edinburgh?

No. Creating your profile and listing in Edinburgh is completely free. There's no monthly subscription, no listing fee and no pay-to-rank. You only pay a 7.5% commission when a customer confirms a booking with you.

How do hair & makeup artists get jobs in Edinburgh?

Customers in and around Edinburgh submit quote requests on Bookt with their date, location and brief. We match the request to hair & makeup artists who cover that area and you can reply with a personalised quote. You control your pricing, availability and what you say yes to.

How much can I earn as a hair and makeup artist in Edinburgh?

Every hair and makeup artist sets their own rates — Bookt doesn't cap or cut your price. We take 7.5% only when a booking completes. So if you quote £1,500 and the customer books, Bookt's fee is £112.50 and you keep £1,387.50. No subscription means it costs you nothing in months where you don't book.

Do I have to live in Edinburgh?

No — Bookt matches by your travel radius, not your postcode. Any hair and makeup artist who covers Edinburgh as part of their service area can apply for jobs here, whether you're based in the city itself or commuting in for events.

When do I get paid?

The customer pays a 25% deposit when they book, held in Stripe. If the event is more than 30 days away, the deposit transfers to your payout account 30 days after booking (less our 7.5%). If the event is sooner, the deposit transfers after you mark the job done and the customer confirms — usually next day. The remaining 75% is paid directly between you and the customer on whatever terms you agree.

Can I leave if it's not working?

Yes, any time. There's no lock-in, no notice period, no exit fee. Archive your profile from the dashboard and you stop receiving leads that day.
