I don't think there's anything wrong with people who aren't straight-up MUAs applying for pro discounts. MUAs aren't necessarily the only group of people who have to spend a large amount on makeup for their jobs.

What professions are we talking about?

Any type of performing arts. Not everyone who does a performing art is a professional. I know people who do aerial yoga as a hobby, and they'll also do public and private performances in addition to their 9-5 jobs. It's not just aerial yogis, either. It's people who take part in any kind of cultural dance, fire dances, ballerinas, gymnasts, amateur contortionists, etc. If you're a belly dancer, exotic dancer, bhangra dancer, afro-carribean dancer, or break dancer, chances are you're going to do a public performance at some point in time and you'll want to enhance your appearance at one time or another.

I'm sorry, but if it is just a hobby -- and I say "just" with the highest respect for the performing arts -- then there is certainly no need to receive a Pro discount.
A professional designates a person who does this for a living and it is used a clear distinction to differentiate amateurs (who perform as a hobby) from those who are paid.

So I'm in the UK at college for Beauty Therapy.
I finish this year - I also took a night class at the college to do Acrylic nails.
I finish my course this week, when I get my certificate would they (both acrylic nails & beauty therapy) and a business card be enough?
In the UK, Beauty Therapy is manicures, pedicures, facials, make-up and photographic make-up along with face painting and nail art. (Or my course was, anyway) The problem is I don't think the certificate will say I'm trained in those areas specifically, just Beauty Therapy in general?
Also - sorry. If I do apply, which would I check on the category list? Make-up Artist, Nail Technician, Cosmetologist?

In that case it might take anywhere between 4 and 8 weeks as they will treat you as a "new" rather than an "existing" member. Good luck!im an existing member, just renewing and have to go the whole [rocess as couldnt renew it for past year or so

I faxed over the following:
- Letter from photographer stating that I do freelance makeup for his company whenever needed (employment verification)
- Zed card
- Business card
- Drivers license.
That seemed to suffice because I was approved within 24 hours.
GOOD LUCK!
