Most makeup pricing here is quoted privately over chat, which means you cannot compare before you commit. Here is the whole list instead, the same numbers for everyone.
What does a makeup artist charge in Ho Chi Minh City?
KINKAY publishes every price instead of quoting privately. An event look with hair is from 1,800,000 VND. A business headshot or a corporate event look is 1,800,000 VND per person, with no cap on the headcount, so a team of ten is 18,000,000 VND. Bridal runs from 3,000,000 VND for the ceremony to 10,000,000 VND for the full wedding day. A street áo dài photoshoot including the photographer is 4,000,000 VND, or 5,000,000 VND with the áo dài. The 1:1 masterclass is 8,000,000 VND.
Hair is included in every price and is not sold on its own. Travel inside Ho Chi Minh City is in the price; outside the city is quoted as one total before you confirm. Company bookings receive a payment receipt — KINKAY does not issue Vietnamese VAT invoices.
Kay has worked backstage at Miss Cosmo International, Miss Grand Vietnam and Hoa Hậu Việt Nam, and on runway shows for Đỗ Long and Adrian Anh Tuấn.
The ceremony and the reception are separate sessions — book either or both. Add all-day care if you want Kay with you between the two. The full detail is on the bridal page.

Priced separately from event makeup because it is a different job — shorter, lighter, and built for a lens at close range. Team sessions are priced by the session rather than per head: the constraint is Kay's time on site, and a fixed number is easier for a company to approve than a headcount that moves. Detail on the headshots page.
