Formals in Western Sydney
Western Sydney stretches from Parramatta out to Penrith, and the artists who cover it change along the way. Search the suburb you're getting ready in, not the formal's address: that's where your artist comes, and how the price is worked out.
Formal season runs into summer, and evenings out west can still be hot. Ask for long-wear makeup and a style that holds in the heat, and keep the room cool while everyone's getting ready.

How booking works
- Enter the suburb you're getting ready in, pick Non-bridal and add everyone in your group, with makeup, hair or both for each. Add the date and the time you need to be ready by.
- See the artists who cover your suburb, each with one total for your whole group, travel included.
- Send a request to the artist you like.
- Your artist accepts, or suggests a different time, with the time they'll start and finish.
- You accept that time, suggest another, or cancel.
- Once you've accepted, you pay the deposit online to lock in your date. The rest goes to your artist on the day.
A few artists take bookings straight away: you pay to lock in your date and your booking's confirmed there and then, unless your party is bigger than they take on alone, which waits for them to accept first. With everyone else, you send a request first and your artist replies with the time they'll start.
It works the same way on the website and in the Glamr app.
Booking for a group?
One request can include everyone getting ready for your formal. For a big group or an event, tell us who needs hair and makeup and when, and we can ask several artists at once.
