Hey guys! I am a freelance makeup artist I have done a few fashion shows for this boutique and on weekends I do makeup at the boutique for customers by appointment. I also do bridal, proms etc. I haven't localized with a photographer yet but I am working on it. I wanted to know what can I possibly send in as all credentials mentioned I do not have.? The only thing I have are business cards the boutique owner/manager is willing to write a letter but I'm not sure if it is accepted. What can I do?

Hello everyone! I am a freelance makeup artist and I faxed in my application two days ago to the 905 number. I tried calling to ask if my fax was received but I was told they don't receive faxes so I didn't get to talk to anyone. I tried calling again and that person told me the same thing. Does that mean it wasn't received? Should I just mail it in?

They just want to hassle you I couldnt give them the time to talk I just would spit out everything at oce I would be like hi I wanted to do a follow up on my application I faxed in on this day to this number they would tell me well we dont accept faxes I would say well its on your old application I downloaded a new application but figured I could still use the old one didnt want to tell them I got the fax number of specktra then they would forward me onto the fax department after my first call when I would have to keep following up I would just ask to speak to the fax department.

I did tell them I got the number from an old application and they said it was no longer accepted.

Maybe I should try and just ask to be transferred to the fax department! Do you know if they're open for calls on Saturdays?

So, I'll be sending:
2 letters of reference
business card
flyer
contract
application
copy of ID

I hope it's enough this time! It is really frustrating to read this thread about them accepting a business card and a contract that can easily be faked. kwim?
How else is an independent freelancer supposed to get in? Plus we're paying them!


I was denied AGAIN! I'm in shock here. They said personal letters, "homemade" flyers and business cards (what?!) and makeup service contracts are NOT accepted.
I'm calling them tomorrow.

and btw I GOT MY CARD. WHOO HOO!! apparently it has been sitting at my dad's house for awhile(i just moved so didn't want it to go to the old address) and he didnt' feel the need to tell me. But anyway, YAY.

Thats weird... I sent in a business card and got accepted. What the heck are you supposed to send if none of that is acceptable???

Sooo...I applied for my Pro card and hopefully I'll get it before I leave to go out of town. I have a wedding to do in the Bahamas and I need to pick up a few items. I hate waiting!!!

Ok, so i've been lurking around but I've had so much trouble with MAC pro and the fact that I faxed in my application I decided to post here for help. I know other people have had this problem with mac saying they dont accept applications through fax anymore but I have talked to like 5 different people and they all tell me that even if they got my application through fax they wouldnt accept it. I've asked to speak to the fax department also and that doesn't help either. Any advice?

Hello, if you have read my previous posts I had the same problem! I would call and they would say they didn't except faxes. So what I did was I waited a couple of days and I kept checking if the money was deducted and then it was!! So I didn't even talk to anyone! So my advice is wait like a week and if youre still not charged or contacted then fax it again. Trust me they receive them cause then why would I get charged? They just don't want everyone to start faxing because it's harder to know if they're legit. Oh and they receive faxes in b&w, atleast that's what my fax machine said when I faxed it in color, so that doesn't help them either. Hope that helps! Good luck!!!

Thanks so much! That is what I was hoping they would do was just to take the money out of my account. It is so aggravating cause they wouldn't even tell me if they got the fax at all. I'll wait a few more days and then if nothing ill fax it again. Thanks again!

I originally sent in the paperwork to the new york office but it got returned by the post office.
