I am likely older (than dirt, LOL) than the average hobbyist and have often wondered if my preferences for a provider to wear little or no make up during a session is a reasonable request.
I would like to hear from both sides here!
No not unreasonable...If a guy has a special need or request,please tell us beforehand!

I was going by the first question brought up...he said is it ok to request LITTLE or no make up....he didn't specify WHY.... Originally Posted by fd150Why does it matter WHY???.....If someone has a special request and they ask you about it upfront, then you either inform him that you can accommodate, or you can't.....If you can, then great.....If you can't, then great.....At least he knows and no session will be booked and then have him disappointed (or whatever).....Either way no one should be offended because a potential client made a special request upfront.....In another thread on this board I made a comment about how surprising it is that many people in the customer service industries have absolutely no idea about the concept of customer service.....Any provider that would take offense at a guy inquring about no makeup and/or perfume is an example of someone not knowing how to provide customer service and build good client relations.....

I do not like for a provider to wear perfume. I do not want to explain why I smell so nice. Originally Posted by Bigal103Most providers of my acquaintance understand the need for discretion (the ones that don't, don't last long in the business), and that's not an issue for any of them.
