Features

Everything in one place

No spreadsheets, no chasing signatures, no PayPal back-and-forth. One link, one flow, done.

Core

Your public profile

Your own page at hiremua.com/yourname. Services, portfolio, bio, social links, and a booking button, all in one place clients can save or share.

Core

Contracts clients sign on their phone

Send a signing link by email or WhatsApp. Clients review the contract, choose photo consent, draw their signature, and submit. No app, no account required. Your dashboard shows which contracts are still waiting, because an unsigned contract is unbilled work.

Core

Deposits and payments tracked

Mark deposits received, track final payments, see your outstanding balance at a glance. Your books, always current, no spreadsheet required.

Real client reviews

Clients leave a star rating and a review after their event, tied to a real signed booking, never written by you. It shows on your public profile with your average rating right up top.

Portfolio gallery

Upload up to 100 photos, reorder by drag and drop. Clients see a full lightbox gallery on your profile: clean, mobile-optimised, and always on-brand.

Reminders that go out, and proof they arrived

Clients get a reminder 48 hours before their event, and you’re notified the moment they sign or view the link. Every booking’s timeline shows what was sent and what happened to it: delivered, opened, bounced or flagged as spam. When a client says they never got it, you can check instead of guess.

Talk it through, before and after

Booking requests come with a real conversation built in: ask about the venue, confirm the headcount, settle the details, then turn it into a booking or decline it. Once it’s signed the thread continues on the booking itself, and both sides get a real email so nobody has to sit watching the app.

One booking, however complicated

Bridal party of five? Add everyone getting services and what they owe inside the same booking. Booking a trial and the wedding day? Link them in one click, so each keeps its own contract, deposit and signature but you always see they belong together.

Team & Collaborators

Add every artist or assistant helping on a booking and track what you owe each of them. Their pay is your own record, never shown to the client or added to their total.

Tax and add-ons, handled on the contract

Set your tax rate and label once, for example HST 13%, and it appears as its own line on every contract, editable per booking if you work across provinces or states. Brides who want their photos kept private rather than used in your portfolio can add a privacy fee at signing, and the total updates live.

Bring your existing bookings with you

Already have contracts signed somewhere else? Record them in HireMUA so your history isn’t split across two systems. Imported bookings stay labelled as such, so you always know which came from your old setup.

You decide what clients see

Toggle each field on your public profile: prices, phone, email, website, address, cancellation policy. Turning one off hides it from visitors without removing it from your contracts. Your WiFi name, parking instructions and day-of notes stay private and go only to clients who have booked.

Your availability, right on your profile

Clients see which dates you’re already booked before they request one, and the booking form flags a conflict if they pick one anyway. Taking a break? Mark yourself as not accepting bookings and your profile shows a notice automatically.

Save a booking, come back later

Started a quote and got pulled away? It’s saved as a draft in its own section, separate from your real bookings, until you’re ready to finish it and send it.

A booking link built for your bio

Drop your booking page straight in your Instagram bio or a story. Followers tap it and land right on your request form, no extra steps, nothing to set up.

Never show up without the lash glue.

Prep Lists: Makeup Kit, Bridal Emergency Kit, Travel Day, and more. Reusable checklists you tick off before every event and reset for the next one.

Expense tracking

Log business expenses by category: supplies, travel, education, and more. See your monthly spend and export to CSV for tax time.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does HireMUA cost?
HireMUA is $39/month USD, or $390/year (equivalent to two months free). There's a 30-day free trial. No credit card required to start. No commission on your bookings, ever, and $39/month is less than most single deposits you're already tracking by hand. (If you're still working out your own service pricing, here's a framework for that.)
Where does HireMUA work?
Anywhere. HireMUA started with makeup artists across the US and Canada and works the same wherever you are. Pricing is in USD, with no restrictions by province, state, or country.
Can my clients sign contracts on their phone?
Yes, that's the whole point. You send a link by email or WhatsApp. Your client opens it on any phone, reviews the contract, draws their signature, and submits. No app download, no account required on their end. You get notified the moment it's signed. Not sure what your contract should actually cover? Here's a breakdown.
How does deposit tracking work?
When you create a booking you set the deposit amount. HireMUA tracks whether it's been received and can send automated reminders to clients. Deposits are marked manually by you. HireMUA is not a payment processor, so you collect money however you prefer (e-transfer, Venmo, Zelle, etc.), and just mark it received in the app. Not sure how to size your deposit or cancellation window? Here's a practical guide.
Is my clients' payment info secure?
We never see it. HireMUA isn't a payment processor for your bookings, you collect deposits directly from clients however you prefer, and HireMUA just tracks whether they've been paid. The only payment processor anywhere in the system is Stripe, used solely for your own $39/mo subscription. HireMUA never stores full card numbers; Stripe handles that under its own PCI-compliant infrastructure.
What happens to my contracts and client data if I cancel?
Nothing disappears immediately. A cancelled or deleted account is held in a recoverable state for 30 days. Email us within that window and we'll restore everything exactly as it was. After 30 days it's permanently erased, except billing records we're required to retain for tax purposes. You can export your bookings and expenses to CSV at any time before you go, right from your dashboard.
What types of events can I book?
Bridal, editorial, film and TV, party, photoshoot, prom, special occasion, and more. You choose the event type when creating a booking, which populates the contract template automatically.
Do I get a public profile page?
Yes. Every artist gets a public profile at hiremua.com/yourname: portfolio gallery, services, bio, social links, and a booking inquiry button. You control what's visible and can unpublish at any time.
Is there a free trial? Do I need a credit card?
Yes, 30 days free with full access to every feature. No credit card required to start. You only enter payment details when the trial ends and you choose to continue.
How do I get started?
Just create your account. No invite and no waiting. You get full access immediately with a 30-day free trial.

We publish local guides, and being listed is free
