Makeup Artists need to be able to do hairstyling for several reasons:
Professionalism: Being able to offer both makeup and hairstyling services can enhance a makeup artist's professionalism and make them a more desirable candidate for clients who are looking for a complete beauty package.
2. Time and Cost Efficiency: Sometimes clients may not have the budget or time to hire a separate hairstylist, so having both skills can be more cost-efficient and save time.
3 .Creative Direction: In some situations, the makeup artist may need to work closely with a hairstylist to create a cohesive look. By having a good understanding of hairstyling, makeup artists can communicate more effectively with the hairstylist, making it easier to achieve the desired look.
4. Flexibility: Some makeup jobs may require the artist to step in and assist with hairstyling, particularly in situations where there is no hairstylist available. Having the ability to do both can make the artist more flexible and able to take on a wider variety of jobs.
5. Career Advancement: Many high-end salons and beauty studios require their makeup artists to have basic hairstyling skills. By having both skills, makeup artists can increase their chances of finding employment in these settings and potentially advance their careers.
