Quick Twelve (12) Minute Read

  1. BEAUTY BLENDERS!
    It is physically difficult to clean a stunner blender legitimately, and hence utilizing and reusing them on a few customers is a tremendous hazard to their well being. How is that conceivable you inquire? well think about some science for a second; microorganisms just develop in a wet domain, and what is your magnificence blender? a wet domain, that is the thing that! indeed, even in the wake of cleaning it, it's still wet, implying that while it is staying there to dry every one of the microscopic organisms and germs that were missed are simply getting sucked into the center of the wipe, sitting tight for the following unfortunate casualty. There is positively NO REASON to utilize a stunner blender on a few distinct customers when there are such a significant number of other nonlatex wipe alternatives for you out there that are expendable, and increasingly moderate.
    ​
  2. UTENSILS.
    Brushes, they MUST be cleaned and sterilized between every customer utilizing an antibacterial brush chemical. For tips on the best way to clean your brushes, see my last blog entry "brush cleaning 101.

  3. DISPOSABLES.
    You NEED to utilize them, this is no alternative or feeling. Lip wands must be utilized for lip gleams or fluid lipsticks and mascara wands for mascara (clearly). That being stated, you have to utilize a DIFFERENT dispensable each time you plunge in. Because its expendable doesn't mean you can twofold plunge.

  4. 99% LIQUOR IS INSUFFICIENT.
    All cosmetics specialists ought to utilize 70% liquor. This is clarified by the CDC (a community for illness control) in all respects completely. The short form of the story is that 99% liquor does not have enough water substance to appropriately obliterate the microscopic organisms. 70% liquor is utilized in medical clinics, spas, and different spots where cleanliness is absolutely critical. 

  5. LINERS.
    Eyeliners and lip liners must be honed and purified before every single customer, besides specialists ought NOT to be utilizing felt/brush tip fluid eyeliners on client’s as they are difficult to legitimately sterilize. 

  6. CROSS POLLUTION AND DOUBLE PLUNGING.
    This is one of the fundamental guidelines of cosmetics creativity yet is regularly misconstrued. Twofold plunging is the point at which you take your brush and dunk into a cream item, use it on your customer, and after that dunk into the item once more. Anything smooth or wet ought to be scooped out with a palette blade and worked from a metal plate. Cream items are difficult to appropriately sterilize and this is the reason they should be scratched out.

  7. HANDS.
    They are astonishing instruments to use for cosmetics master fullness, and the absolute most profoundly acclaimed specialists use them and produce stunning work, which is fine, however please for hell's sake wash them. disinfect them. clean your nails, and abstain from having excessively long phony nails that gather germs in the fissure. those pearls look excellent yet they are loaded with crap particles, so stay away from them on the off chance that you can. 

  8. LASHES.
    Never at any point approach your client’s for lashes back and after that utilization them on another client. I have had all that anyone could need models to disclose to me this has occurred and I can't in accordance with some basic honesty get who or what is having individuals into believing this is even remotely satisfactory. 
    ​
  9. WORKING AREA.
    Keep your setups clean, and composed. While you are working you ought to have full command over which brushes are perfect, which brush has been utilized on which model, and refuse ought to be completely contained. I like to keep spring up rubbish receptacle with me, or utilize the other portion of my Dany pocket (fixed with a doggy crap sack, works extraordinary!) 

  10. AFTER RINSE.
    ​When your activity is done, everything should be cleaned. Each and every surface - that is correct companions! everything! I like to go with Lysol wipes and use them to wipe down the outside of every one of my palettes, devices, brush handles, and pack sacks. I additionally splash everything with 70% liquor like its leaving style.

GUEST, PLUS CELL PHONES

Quick Two (2) Minute Read

Yes, cell phones are becoming a lingering bother... for some of us. In today's world, phones are everywhere. About 65% of online surfing and website visits comes from a mobile device. Online posting of many occasions occur at events to document the moment alone.

There are multiple articles out there that state ways to unplug guest from their cellular devices. Those ideas range from asking guest on invitations not to use their phones or simply holding phones when a guest enters the event / wedding. Seems a bit much, however for some events do require that level of multiple announcements that state, "NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PLEASE AND THANK YOU". Yeah, who listens  to that.

At this time, we believe in embracing change for the greater good, especially when they are paradigm changes. You know - those pivotal changes that affect a great amount of people and business practice in a given area or industry.  Instead of asking a guest to put away their phone to get the "perfect" photo, how about zooming in on the device's screen picture to get the shot the guest is trying to get. It creates a less cliché photo as well. Talk about having an assistant who does not know they are assisting with documenting a special moment : )

It is different, it is fresh, it is personable to include the reality from our current state within a frame a client can 4EVR (forever) reflect on.  This is a shot truly appreciated when seen after post-production. Let us remain and maintain our invisibility and professionalism to better service the bride, groom, party, and / or event guest.

You have helped clients make sense of who should sit by whom. Presently it's a great opportunity to get inventive and make it their own. Here are eight (8) imaginative plans to help a client create seat assignments:

  1. CUSTOMIZED NOTES.
    As an option in contrast to conventional escort cards on a table, make a board and stick the cards on a level plane. Utilize a blend of hues and plans that coordinate your wedding topic. A contacting expansion is a card to say thanks on the posterior. Tell your visitors the amount you value them for visiting and include a charming memory you have with every individual!

  2. EDGE IT UP.
    For an inventive curve, Maxine and Eric utilized a few picture edges and they recorded their visitor by table on every one; making a lovely showcase. Reward: Keep the casings for your home stylistic theme!

  3. FUSE THEIR WEDDING SUBJECT.
    Add components to the seating cards as per your wedding subject, for example, since our wedding gatherings occur at a wonderful private shoreline, we've had couples bring adorable, clay coral spot card holders. One of our top picks was Jackie and Andrew's wedding – they utilized clay sand dollars with the visitor names written in gold pen. Leave it alone

    In the event that you incline toward that your visitors have the opportunity to settle down anyplace, let them know with an enhancing board and an infectious expression like: "We found one another, presently discover a seat!"

  4. KEEP IT TOGETHER.
    A few couples carry card stock with a rundown of visitors for every table that we can hang at the passage of our banquet room. Nicole and Nick went above and beyond and connected an adorable, out-dated key to each — it looked great and exquisite!

  5. PICK YOUR "SEAT!".
    ​For a Wedding in Mexico, an incredible method to make a reference and kick the gathering off is by welcome your visitors with an injection of Tequila while sending them to their seats! The seating cards are immaculate to fit on a lime cut and add a little enjoyable to set the inclination for your wedding occasion.

77+ CHANCES TO GET BOOKED

Quick Five (5) Minute Read

​Oh no, do not worry! This is not a list of 75 professional tips. This is customer support before a customer requires support. This is marketing the way it has always been done. Customer service is not a department. Customer service is company wide and word of mouth.

When you service clients and their event guest, there are multiple opportunities at that event after the service is completed to make great impressions with guest. These impressions are opportunities to  not only refer customers and be rewarded, but ideally fill your calendar as well. Event guest eyes may be on you during that service you are providing. Here are a couple tips to maintain good professionalism and be customer-centric:

  1. Timeliness
    Continuously be on schedule. This heightens customer satisfaction  during events and weddings just as much as answering messages, emails, and telephone calls.

  2. Friendly, Polite Manner
    Maintain essential guidelines of gratitude. This means keeping up an agreeable, good-natured way of business during the customer client connection and service. 

  3. Respectful
    Continuously admire deeply. Keep in mind of your client's time and the event client's guest with consideration.

  4. Dress Professionally, but Comfortable
    Dress like you have a place at the occasion you are capturing. You should plan to mix in with the group. This does not mean formal attire for men or a formal dress for ladies all the time, but a good rule of thumb is to wear black (unless this is an all white event : ). In case you are uncertain of what to wear, decide in favor of alert and overdress for the event.

  5. Use Appropriate Language and Tone and Listen Effectively
    Tune in to your client. This will enable you to decide their needs and prerequisites for the event. Even when comfortable, continuously use  suitable language and manner when speaking.

  6. Show Sensitivity to Gender/ Cultural and Social Differences 
    Each client and their guest are extremely important. Your experience as an eventPRO will be much easier if your opinion on sexual orientation, culture, and economics remain respectful and more neutral. Understanding these distinctions will give you a more respected edge when working with clients. It will not just make your experience more simple, but also your clients may value your direction of opinion outside the topics above more often.

  7. Understand Client Desires 
    The initial step to understanding client desires is tuning in. When you have recognized the client's necessities and desires, it will be easier to give suitable items and services. It is important that every item and service surpasses the client's desires and expectations.

  8. Communicate Clearly and Effectively
    eventPROs should almost always communicate unmistakably and successfully. This implies communication  ought to be conveyed in a straightforward way that is effectively comprehended. Viable correspondence keeps everybody in agreement, adds to the event, and guarantees more satisfied customers.

  9. Educate the Clients on Any Issues and Developments That Include Them 
    Servicing clients could include a few last-minute changes and issues throughout the process. It is significant that eventPROs determine carefully when it is important to communicate to clients regarding any issues that would legitimately affect them or their event. Continuously keep the client up-to date if there's an issue as well.

  10. React to the Client Immediately 
    Clients will contact the eventPRO all through the procedure. It is essential to react to the client right away. Regardless of whether you can not furnish them with the appropriate response right then and there, illuminate them that you are attempting to find them a solution and they ought to hope to hear once more from you by a particular time/date (or window).

  11. Remain Centered and Focused Remain focused on your event as an eventPRO. Try not to become completely involved with the energy of the occasion as a guest and neglect to work. You are free to visit with guests about the service and mingle, however keep servicing as agreed to. You are there to service and not ONLY take an interest in the occasion. 

    Know this is not a comprehensive rundown; use good judgment to fill in the holes : )
