Hair & Make-Up

BECTU's recommended going rates of pay for freelances working in hair and make-up for television, feature films, pop promos, corporate videos and commercials are available here to download.

The current rates are effective 1 September 2010 and take account of the increase in statutory holiday entitlement introduced on 1 April 2009. The schedule also recognises the role of trainees and sets out daily and weekly rates based on the National Minimum Wage and on the London Living Wage. 

The rates have been produced by the union's freelance Hair and Make-Up Branch.

Freelances and PLI

Public liability insurance cover, up to £5m per claim, is FREE for new freelance joiners up to the April following their joining date; after that an annual top up fee applies. (Just £23 for 2011/12). Join BECTU  More on benefits and services.
