The arrangement involves a skilled cosmetic professional who provides on-location services and charges an additional sum to cover expenses related to transportation. Consider, for instance, a client seeking bridal makeup services at a venue distant from the artist’s base of operations; the extra charge accounts for mileage, time spent traveling, and potentially, accommodation if the location requires an overnight stay.
This practice offers convenience and flexibility, allowing individuals to receive professional aesthetic enhancement in environments tailored to their needs. Historically, this service catered primarily to high-profile clientele, but its accessibility has broadened, meeting the demands of a more diverse customer base requiring customized beauty solutions for events such as weddings, photoshoots, and special occasions. The added cost ensures that the professional is fairly compensated for the resources and time invested in delivering the service beyond a fixed location.
