Why Every Beauty Pro Should Be Using Pro Discount Programs
As a makeup artist, esthetician, or cosmetologist, you already know how quickly the cost of products and tools adds up. From foundations and skincare to brushes, lashes, and hairstyling tools, restocking your kit can easily eat into your profits. But here’s the thing: you should never be paying full price for professional products.
That’s where pro discount programs come in, and if you’re not taking advantage of them yet, you’re leaving serious money on the table.
What Are Pro Discount Programs?
Pro discount programs are exclusive savings opportunities that beauty brands and retailers offer to licensed professionals and students in the industry. They’re designed to support artists like us by making high-quality products more affordable while helping us stay loyal to their brand.
These discounts can range from 20% to 50% off and sometimes even more, and are offered by some of the biggest names in beauty. Think MAC, NARS, Makeup Forever, Dermalogica, and so many others.
Why You Should Apply ASAP
Save on Essentials
Why pay $40 for a foundation when you could pay $25 or less through a pro discount? Multiply that by every product in your kit, and you’ll see just how much you’re saving.Elevate Your Kit With Luxury Products
Pro discounts make it possible to invest in higher-end brands you might have avoided because of price. This means you can offer your clients a luxury experience without draining your wallet.Stay Stocked and Prepared
Running out of setting spray or moisturizer before a wedding gig is stressful. Pro savings make it easier to keep backups on hand without breaking the bank.Boost Your Professional Credibility
Being approved for pro programs isn’t just about discounts—it’s about recognition. Brands verify your status as a licensed or actively working beauty pro, which sets you apart as a serious professional.
The Challenge: Applying Can Be Confusing
Here’s the downside: finding these programs, figuring out what credentials you need, and keeping track of renewals can be a headache. Each brand has different requirements (some want your cosmetology license, others accept business cards, school IDs, or union cards). And once you’re in, you need to track when your discounts expire so you can reapply without losing access.
