If you fax it to them they will process it right away, if you mail it you will have to wait 4-6 weeks (I heard) I jsut did mine and the day I faxed it to them, they processed it and mailed it out the following business day and I got it within a week! Go to www.macpro.com and you will see its not that hard to be on your way to getting 40% off!!! LOL LOL Good luck |

I snail mailed them my business card, a signed letter of recomendation, the Pro Application, and a check for $35. It took about a month or 3 weeks to get my card that way. Try again!

I've had my Pro discount card for a little while and its been SUPER DUPER GREAT. I share it with my close friends too but ask them not to tell the whole world bc I know alot more people will bug me to pick them up stuff.

WHAT?! OMG so I can totally do that since I freelance from time to time. Lately I've only been doing weddings, engagements, formals and stuff like that. I don't have time to do shoots and runways nemore. Who did you get a letter of recomendation from?! Is it possible for me to get a letter of recomendation from a bride?

I got approved by sending a home made business card and a copy of my certification from a make-up artistry school.
If any of you are going to school for cosmetology, they also have a PRO-STUDENT card which gives you a discount as well. I believe you will need to submit a copy of your registration summary detailing what class you are taking and a picture ID. It's on the MACPRO.COM website, should you be intersted.
I believe for make-up artists it's 40%, students receive 20%, and others 30%.

your card should have came with a little booklet stating all that. but your limit is 500 per month, 5000 a year. it goes into more detail on the website.
