How far ahead should you book a group makeup package?
Book 4–8 weeks before your event for the best artist availability and planning. Hanoi's bridal season peaks October–November and February–March; earlier booking guarantees your preferred artist. Smaller groups (4–6 people) sometimes confirm 2–3 weeks out. Last-minute requests (under 7 days) require WhatsApp inquiry—availability depends on artist schedule that week.
What does the booking process actually involve?
Message WhatsApp with group size, date, event type (wedding, birthday, corporate), location, and preferred makeup style (bridal, Korean, Western, or mixed). Cáo Studio sends a quote. You pay a deposit via bank QR or agreed method to confirm the date. Two weeks before, confirm headcount and any style changes via WhatsApp. Artists arrive at your hotel or home 06:00–21:00 daily as scheduled.
When do group rates kick in, and what's the minimum order?
Groups of 4 or more qualify for group pricing. Message us for a quote tailored to your headcount and date. There is no hard minimum per person, but rates reflect coordinated service, location travel, and artist time allocation. Smaller groups (1–3 people) book individual services; larger weddings (10+) may negotiate extended hours or multi-artist discounts.
| Group Size | Who This Suits | What to Expect | Check Before Booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 people | Solo bride or small bridal party | Standard hourly or package rate | Confirm artist availability and travel to your location |
| 4–6 people | Wedding party, event guests | Group discount applies; message for quote | Arrive time, Wi-Fi for touch-ups, mirror space for 2+ stations |
| 7–10 people | Large wedding, corporate event | Multi-artist team recommended | Location size, timing for back-to-back makeup, deposit and payment schedule |
| 10+ people | Major wedding, festival event | Custom quote; possibly 2–3 artists and extended hours | Site visit if needed, staggered scheduling, final headcount 1 week prior |
What makeup styles work best for group bookings?
Bridal makeup in Hanoi suits wedding brides; coordinate the bridal look with bridesmaids' styles (softer, complementary tones). Korean-style makeup works for groups seeking a unified, modern aesthetic—natural skin, gradient lips, bold brows. Western styles offer flexibility; each guest can choose bold or minimal looks. Event & party makeup suits corporate dinners, birthday celebrations, and casual gatherings.
Pro tip: During your WhatsApp inquiry, specify if the group wants a cohesive look or individual styles. Cáo Studio advises on feasibility and timing impact.
How does Hanoi humidity affect long-wearing makeup for groups?
Hanoi's high humidity (60–90% year-round) breaks down powder and creases eyeshadow by midday. Cáo Studio uses humidity-resistant primers, long-wear formulas, and waterproof products standard on all group bookings. Brides and guests receive blotting papers and lip-safe touch-up sticks for reapplication during events. Book a makeup trial 2–3 weeks ahead to test product longevity in your climate before the main day.
What skin prep should you and your group do before booking?
Start skincare 2 weeks prior: gentle cleanser, hydrating toner, lightweight moisturizer, and SPF 30+ daily. Avoid new products 48 hours before the appointment. Exfoliate lightly (not the day before—risks irritation). On booking day, arrive with clean, dry skin and no prior makeup. If you have sensitive skin or active breakouts, mention this during WhatsApp inquiry so artists bring suitable primers and color-correctors.

What to Check Before You Commit
- Confirm arrival time. Artists operate 06:00–21:00 daily. Early morning weddings require 05:00–05:30 arrival; confirm this in WhatsApp booking.
- Verify location accessibility. Share your hotel name, room number, or home address. Artists need Wi-Fi and accessible parking or entrance.
- Specify headcount and styles. List each guest's preferred look (bridal, smoky eye, natural, bold lip, etc.). Changes after deposit affect timeline.
- Agree on deposit method. Bank QR, cash, or other arrangement—clarify before committing.
- Ask about touch-up service. Some packages include 2–3 hour touch-up calls; others charge separately. Confirm during booking.
- Confirm cancellation terms. If you cancel within 7 days, deposit may be non-refundable. Clarify policy in WhatsApp chat.
- Arrange mirror and seating. Ensure 2+ mirrors, good lighting, and 2–3 seats so artists work in parallel without congestion.

FAQ
Do you charge per person or per hour for group bookings?
Cáo Studio charges per person for individual rates, with discounts kicking in at group size 4+. Message us for a quote based on headcount, duration, and makeup complexity. Hour rates depend on artist availability and location travel.
What's the deposit amount and when is it due?
Deposit secures your date and is agreed upon during WhatsApp booking. Full amount due at service time or as arranged. Ask about payment options (bank QR, cash) when you first inquire.
Can you do makeup for guests arriving at different times?
Yes, but staggered timing extends the booking window. Confirm each guest's arrival window in WhatsApp so artists plan scheduling. Back-to-back bookings may incur slight additional fee.
What happens if someone is a no-show on the day?
Clarify cancellation and no-show policy during booking. Most studios hold the deposit if cancellation is within 7 days. Communicate via WhatsApp immediately if there's an emergency.
Can I add photography or an ao dai photoshoot to my group makeup booking?
Yes. Coordinate makeup timing with photographer. For ao dai photoshoots, visit vietnamphotoshoot.com to book separately; makeup and photoshoot can be arranged on the same day with advance planning.
Do you offer touch-up service during the event?
Some packages include it; others charge extra. Confirm during booking whether a 2–3 hour touch-up call is included or available for additional fee. Guests also receive blotting papers and lip-safe touch-up sticks standard.
