A makeup artist in the directory is more often a whole salon

Looking for a makeup artist, you find a whole salon: wedding and evening hairstyles are declared by 67% of such businesses, gel polish by as many, and manicure by 64%. In total, 4,204 active businesses list makeup artist services

What do businesses say about themselves?

The lists are almost equal in size. So the same business lists a hairstyle for an event, nail service, and brow work. A separate office that does only makeup almost never appears in the directory

Where to find a makeup artist?

When do makeup studios work?

Makeup is most often done before an evening event: a wedding, a prom, a celebration. The schedule, though, is built differently than you might expect

Weekends are open almost everywhere. But less than a third work late in the evening, even though the evening is exactly when a person gets ready for an event

What is missing from the listing

This is filled in noticeably better than the directory average: there, 18% have no address and 11% have no opening hours

What this means for you

1. If you are looking for someone who does only makeup, ask when you call. Full-service salons dominate the directory
2. If you are getting ready for an evening event, pick the time during the day. After nine in the evening fewer than a third of businesses work
3. Weekends are almost no limit: 87% work
4. One in eleven has no address. Such a business may see clients in an office inside another building or travel to the client

What this means for an owner

If you do makeup and no nail service, your listing gets lost among full-cycle salons. A separate line in the list of services and a short caption under the name set you apart from them in five minutes

If you work late in the evening, say so in the schedule. There are fewer than a third of such businesses, and for a person getting ready for a celebration this is the deciding line

Where the numbers come from

The open 2GIS directory, August 2026. We counted active businesses that have makeup artist services among their categories: 4,204 listings. A field counted as empty if the listing has nothing in it at all. Services were counted from the list the business gave about itself
