For makeup artists
AI Business Manager for Freelance Makeup Artists
By HatchSolo · Last updated: August 2026
Freelance makeup artists are on set or at location when clients are trying to book. By the time a job finishes, messages have piled up — booking enquiries, deposit requests, Instagram DMs, rescheduling requests. The admin between jobs can take as long as the jobs themselves. HatchSolo is an AI business manager for freelance makeup artists who want the business running while they're working. It handles booking confirmations, deposit reminders, Instagram scheduling, and enquiry responses through WhatsApp — so you can focus on the work in front of you.
