Appointment app for makeup artists, with WhatsApp reminders
Timing is an appointment app for makeup artists: brides and event clients book a trial, bridal makeup or evening makeup on their own from your booking page, from any phone and without downloading an app. You set how far ahead clients can book, so a bride can hold the date months in advance. An automatic WhatsApp reminder goes out before every appointment from the Basic plan (₪79 a month on the website), and a form for the event details goes to the client with the booking confirmation from the Professional plan. You can start on the Free plan, up to 15 appointments a month with no credit card.

Challenges Facing Makeup Artists
Brides ask about a date on WhatsApp, and setting up a trial and an event day takes a whole conversation
A trial and the event-day makeup are two appointments that are easy to lose track of
Event days that start at dawn, and an early slot booked at the last minute
A bride with a mother and bridesmaids: how many people, how long it takes and where to go
A bride who cancels close to the date leaves a whole day empty
The products and shades chosen at the trial stay on a scrap of paper or in your head
How It Works, Step by Step
Build your service menu
Set up each service with a length and a price: a trial, bridal makeup, evening makeup, makeup for the bridal party and a makeup lesson. Timing shows clients only the times where the service they picked fits in your calendar.
Set your hours, blocks and rest
On every plan you set working hours for each day of the week, block a whole day for a wedding out of town or several days for a holiday, and add a rest after each appointment, from 5 minutes to 2 hours, to clean your brushes and reset your station.
Share your link and your work
Your booking page link goes in your Instagram bio and your WhatsApp status, and you upload photos of looks you have done to your business page. A bride sees your work before booking, from any phone and without downloading an app.
Bookings land in your calendar and on the client card
A new booking is confirmed at once or waits for your approval, by one setting for the whole business. After the trial you note the products and shades on the client card, and book the bridal makeup for the client from the calendar if it is not booked yet.
A reminder before the trial and before the event
From the Basic plan every client gets an automatic WhatsApp reminder before each appointment, at the time you chose. From the Professional plan the client can also confirm attendance in one tap from the reminder, so you know in advance the event day is on.
A Sample Service Menu
The services and lengths here are an example. In Timing each business sets up its own services, each with its own duration and price, and the free times on the booking page are worked out from the duration.
| Service | Typical length | How to set it up in Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Bridal trial | 1 h 30 min | A service separate from the bridal makeup, with its own length and price. What was chosen at the trial goes into the notes on the client card, ready for you on the event day. |
| Bridal makeup | 2 h | The main service of the event day. If you go to the bride, set up a separate service, for example bridal makeup at home, with a length that also covers the road. |
| Bride and one companion | 2 h 45 min | When a bride comes with a mother or a friend, set the combination up as a service of its own, with the length and price of both, so the calendar keeps the whole time in one appointment. |
| Evening makeup | 1 h | A shorter service for guests and events. The rest you set after each appointment applies after it too. |
| Bridal party makeup | 45 min | When several people get ready on the same morning, book each one an appointment of their own, back to back from the calendar, so each has a card with their name, phone and notes. |
| Personal makeup lesson | 1 h 30 min | A service with its own length and price. The notes on the client card help you remember what you covered in the last lesson. |
| Group makeup workshop | 2 h | On the Premium plan you set up a group session with a participant limit, and clients sign up for it from your booking page. |
How Timing Helps Makeup Artists
A booking page for trials, brides and events
Each kind of makeup is a service with its own length and price: a trial, bridal makeup, evening makeup, a makeup lesson. Clients pick a service and a free time on their own, from one link you send on WhatsApp or put in your Instagram bio.
Bookings months ahead
On every plan you set how far ahead clients can book, up to a year and beyond, so a bride can hold the wedding day early. You also set a minimum notice for booking, so nobody books a 6:00 a.m. appointment late the night before.
WhatsApp reminders and attendance confirmations
An automatic WhatsApp reminder before the trial and before the event day, at the time you chose (from the Basic plan), and a one-tap attendance confirmation request (from the Professional plan). A client who cancels before your cancellation deadline frees the time, and you get a notification.
An event details form
From the Professional plan you build a form of your own, for example the event time, where the getting ready happens, how many people need makeup and skin sensitivities, and attach it to a service. The form goes to the client automatically with the booking confirmation, and the answers are saved on the client's card.
A client card with notes from the trial
The products, shades and look chosen at the trial go into the notes on the client card, which opens straight from the calendar on the event day. The client never sees your notes.
Practical Tips for Makeup Artists
Manual approval when you need to check a date
On every plan you choose whether a new booking is confirmed at once or waits for your approval. The setting applies to the whole business, so if you want to check every date before you commit, turn on manual approval.
Early hours on event days
On every plan working hours are set for each day of the week, so you can open early on the days events usually fall. A minimum notice for booking, which you can set as high as 24 hours, stops an early slot from being booked the night before.
A cancellation deadline up to a week ahead
On every plan, signed-in clients cancel on their own until the cancellation deadline you set, and after it they contact you. You can set it up to a week before the appointment, and the setting applies to every appointment in the business.
Ask the bride to leave a note
In the settings you turn on 'Customers can add a note', on every plan. The bride then writes when booking how many people need makeup and where you all get ready, and the note shows in the appointment details.

Is there an appointment app for a makeup artist who works alone?
Is there an appointment app for a makeup artist who works alone?
Yes. Timing needs no staff set up: clients book from your booking page, and the calendar and client cards run from your phone, with WhatsApp reminders from the Basic plan. If another makeup artist joins you later, you add them to the same account: up to 2 people, you included, on the Professional plan, and up to 5 on Premium.
How much does an appointment app for a makeup artist cost?
How much does an appointment app for a makeup artist cost?

Your first business also gets a one-time 14-day Premium trial with no credit card, then moves to the Free plan automatically with no charge.
Can a bride book months in advance?
Can a bride book months in advance?
Yes, on every plan. In the settings you choose how far ahead clients can book, up to a year and beyond, and you can also book the appointment for the client yourself from the calendar.
How do I handle a trial and the wedding-day makeup?
How do I handle a trial and the wedding-day makeup?
Set up two services, a bridal trial and bridal makeup, each with its own length and price. After the trial you note the products and shades chosen on the client card, and on the event day they are waiting for you on the card you open from the calendar. The client never sees your notes.
Can several people book makeup for the same event?
Can several people book makeup for the same event?
Yes, in two ways, on every plan: set a fixed combination, such as a bride and one companion, up as a service of its own with the length and price of all of them, or book each person an appointment of their own, back to back from the calendar. If you turned on 'Customers can add a note', the bride can write when booking how many people need makeup.
I go to the bride's home. How do I set that up in the calendar?
I go to the bride's home. How do I set that up in the calendar?
Set up a separate service, for example bridal makeup at home, with a length that also covers the road, so your booking page does not offer that time to another booking. The client writes the address in the note on the booking, if you turned on 'Customers can add a note', or in the event details form (from the Professional plan).
Do clients get a WhatsApp reminder before the event?
Do clients get a WhatsApp reminder before the event?
Yes: an automatic WhatsApp reminder before every appointment, at a time you set in advance, from the Basic plan (₪79 a month on the website). The Free plan sends no automatic reminders. From the Professional plan the client can also confirm attendance in one tap from the reminder.
What happens if a bride cancels close to the date?
What happens if a bride cancels close to the date?
A signed-in client cancels on their own from their appointments page until the cancellation deadline you set, on every plan, and you get a notification. After that deadline they contact you. You can set the deadline up to a week before the appointment, and with the waiting list switched on (from the Professional plan), the freed time goes to the first client on the list whose request fits.
