As a makeup artist, when we decide to freelance, we plan for the following:
- makeup kit
- makeup lights
- makeup brushes
The makeup chair is not always on the list. The reason, is many who start freelancing don’t realize that a portable makeup chair and a table are also essential tools that are needed, and they tend to use whatever chair is available. The problem with that is, the available chair may not be the correct height, could be bulky or heavy and not comfortable for your client to sit in while you getting them ready for set.
The most portable makeup chairs are aluminum which are very lightweight or wood.
You want a chair that
- Has a straight back – helps your client sit up straight and easier for you to work
- Is stable and sturdy – it’s so important to have a chair that does not wobble or move. Also you want a chair that is going to support the weight of the person sitting in it. Check to be sure there is an anti-tip feature.
- Is easy to carry – some chair come with a bag to make it easy to carry, others have handle or strap features for ease in portability.
- You can collapse and set up with ease – you don’t want a chair that is difficult to open or close, this causes stress and tension and can take your focus away from your work.
- The back rest and seat should be made of material that is both breathable and washable.
These chairs could be good options for you.
It is so important that before you buy the chair, read the description and the details to be sure it suits your needs.
