A makeup artist's Saturday is never booked on someone's word
Your season comes down to a handful of wedding Saturdays. A bride canceling last minute without having paid a thing is a golden date lost forever. With Fiitsa, a booking only exists once the deposit is paid via MoMo or Wave, the brief arrives structured with reference photos, and trial and wedding-day reminders send themselves. Your calendar gets serious, and so do your clients.

You know these struggles
The date held without a deposit
"Book me for Saturday the 20th, it's 100% sure." You turn away two other brides for that date, then she vanishes. Without a deposit, you gave your best Saturday to someone who committed nothing.
The bridal brief scattered across three weeks of messages
The venue is in a voice note, the time changed twice, the inspiration photos are buried between two chats. On the wedding morning, you re-scroll the whole history praying you missed nothing.
The trial forgotten or moved at the last minute
The makeup trial is the key to a smooth wedding day, but between your calendar and the bride's, it falls through one time in three. And a missed trial means extra stress on the big day.
The bridal party that grows while the quote doesn't
At first it was just the bride. On the day, there's the mom, two sisters and a friend wanting "just a quick touch-up". Without a written per-person quote, charging without awkwardness is impossible.
What Fiitsa changes for you
Bookable slots, trial included
Services et réservations →Day makeup, evening, bridal, trial: each service has its duration and slots. The client books within your real calendar, and your Tabaski Saturday can't be sold twice.
The deposit that locks the date
Paiements WhatsApp →No deposit, no booking: the Orange Money, MTN MoMo or Wave link goes out with the quote, and the date only locks on payment. Last-minute cancellations become rare - and compensated.
The bridal brief in one form
Formulaires WhatsApp →Date, exact venue, ceremony time, number of faces, skin type, reference photos: everything arrives structured in a WhatsApp form. The quote is built cleanly, person by person.
Automatic trial and wedding-day reminders
Automatisation →Trial reminder three days out, wedding-day confirmation at D-2 with arrival time and address, follow-up message after the service. You stop thinking about it, and nothing slips through.

Frequently asked questions
Won't asking for a deposit scare clients away?
It's the opposite: the deposit filters out those who would never have confirmed. A serious bride fully understands that a Saturday date requires commitment. And a two-minute MoMo payment makes it feel natural, with no awkward negotiation.
I charge for the trial separately. Can that work?
Yes, the trial is a service in its own right with its price and slots. Many artists later deduct it from the bridal package if the client confirms: you set it up as you like, and it's all written in the quote.
How do I cleanly charge for the mom and sisters added at the last minute?
Your quote lists each person with their rate, and the client approved it in writing. On the day, an extra face is added to the quote in seconds from your phone, and the balance updates. No debate, just a clear document.
I travel to homes and venues. What about travel fees?
The form asks for the venue upfront, so you price travel into the quote: free in your area, a flat fee beyond, a surcharge for very early calls. The client approves everything before the deposit, zero surprises on either side.
A bride cancels a month before the wedding. What happens?
Your cancellation policy is written into the booking confirmation: deposit refundable until a set date, kept beyond it. The date frees up instantly in your calendar and you can notify waitlisted clients. The deposit offsets your loss.
Outside weddings, I do photoshoots and evening events. Same system?
Yes, each service type has its listing: day makeup, evening, photoshoot, self-makeup lessons. Each with its duration, price and slots. Today's photoshoot client may be next year's bride - and her history will already be on her record.
