Get Booked for High-End Gigs: Beyond the Chair
Take this quick quiz to find out where you need the most support turning your beauty skills into stronger opportunities beyond the chair.
When you think about moving beyond the chair, what feels the most confusing?
*
I do not know who I should be connecting with or how to start those relationships.
I want to make money from my knowledge, name, or brand — not only from appointments.
I have work, photos, clients, or wins, but I do not know how to use them to get more.
I do not know how to show that my experience prepares me for bigger opportunities.
I know I need to tighten how I prepare, communicate, and show up professionally.
You hear about a shoot, red carpet event, brand activation, or beauty opportunity you would love to be part of. What is your first thought?
*
“Do I have enough proof that I can handle that kind of work?”
“How would this fit into the bigger brand or business I want to build?”
“Who do I need to know to even get considered?”
“Wait, do I already know someone or have something I can use to get closer to this?”
“Am I prepared for the pace, pressure, communication, and expectations?”
Your beauty bestie gives you the honest truth. What do they say?
*
“The look is cute, but the full process needs to be tighter.”
“You keep doing good work and then letting it disappear after one post.”
“Your work is strong, but your receipts need to be easier to see.”
“You need to stop waiting for people to magically discover you.”
“You cannot keep making every dollar with your hands only.”
You just created a beautiful look. The client loved it. The final images look strong. Now what?
*
I know I should turn it into content, proof, follow-up, or a pitch, but I do not always do it.
I tag the team and hope they remember me for the next opportunity.
I wonder how this could become a class, brand pitch, tutorial, or paid offer.
I think about what went well and what I need to tighten before the next job.
I wonder if this is strong enough to prove I can do higher-level work.
Someone says, “This could be great exposure.” What is your real first thought?
*
“Will this give me the kind of experience I actually need? ”
“What exactly am I responsible for, and what are the expectations? ”
“Exposure from who? Is this relationship actually worth building?”
“Is this building my brand, or am I just being busy for free?”
“Can I turn this into content, contacts, credits, or future work?”
You get invited to assist, collaborate, or help on a creative shoot. What are you thinking?
*
“This could help me build the right relationships if I move smart.”
“How does this support the bigger brand I am trying to build?”
“This could give me experience I can actually use.”
“How can I make sure this opportunity keeps working for me after the shoot is over?”
“Let me show up prepared, professional, fast, calm, and easy to work with.”
Your Instagram walks into a room with a booking agent, brand, producer, or creative director. What does it say?
*
“I want to be seen as a brand, not just someone available for appointments.”
“I have work, but I’m not sure it proves the exact opportunities I want.”
“There are wins here, but I’m not using them as well as I could.”
“I’m talented, but you may need to scroll for a while to understand where I fit.”
“I can do the work, but I may need to show more polish, process, and professionalism.”
Be honest — how clear are you on what “beyond the chair” could actually look like for you?
*
I have some experience, but I do not know what counts or how to show it.
I want more than services, but I do not know what offers or income streams make sense yet.
I know relationships matter, but I do not know who to connect with first.
I know I need to become more polished and prepared before I step into bigger spaces.
I have pieces of the puzzle, but I do not know how to turn them into more opportunities.
If your last “good opportunity” had a confession cam, what would it say?
*
“I could have gotten way more out of that moment.”
“The work was good, but the communication, prep, or boundaries could have been better.”
“I met people, but I did not really know how to follow up.”
“It paid me once, but it did not build anything bigger.”
“I got experience, but I am not sure I used it as proof.”
If Monaè could help you fix one thing first, what would it be?

Help me make the most out of collaborations and relationships.
Help me show my eclectic expertise by doing all parts of the job well.
