Alessandra

Lisboa, Aug 2026

I've been going to Binita for about two years, every three weeks or so, for manicure and foot care, and I also do hair removal, hair cutting, hair toning, and eyebrows there. The quality of the work is very good, and I keep going back because I’m happy with it. Communication is good, she is very kind, and the price feels fair, especially since she always gives me a discount. It’s also very close to my house, which makes it very convenient.

A salon I recommend to all expats. I came in with dull hair, and Leonardo managed to make my hair shine. The products he used are also excellent, thank you!

Neiha

Lisbon, Nov 2025

I hired Lilia for my wedding makeup, and she also teamed up with a hairstylist so I had both hair and makeup handled. We started with a call to talk through what I wanted, she gave me skincare tips, had me fill a form with venue and timing, and we did a tryout at their salon - super organized, very responsive, and easy to talk to by email and then WhatsApp. On the day it felt like friends coming into my house, they were super flexible with hours, and the look was exactly what I was hoping for. Price felt affordable compared to what friends paid, and she even connected me with a day planner that really saved my day when I was overwhelmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring makeup artists & hair stylists in Lisbon.

Are there English-speaking makeup artists & hair stylists in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring makeup artists & hair stylists in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring makeup artists & hair stylists in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say makeup artists & hair stylists in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, makeup artists & hair stylists are usually called maquilhadores e cabeleireiros. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find makeup artists & hair stylists I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.

Finding the right makeup artist or hair stylist is crucial for achieving a look that reflects your personal style and boosts your confidence.

Prioritizing hygiene, effective communication, and product quality will ensure that your beauty needs are met with care and expertise. Remember, a little preparation goes a long way in finding the perfect match for your beauty journey!

Dos and Don’ts as an expat

Smart choices: dos and don’ts for hiring the perfect makeup artist and hair stylist

Do’s
Do Check for Hygiene Practices
Prioritize service providers who maintain high hygiene standards, such as using clean brushes and disinfecting tools before each use. A commitment to cleanliness not only ensures your safety but also enhances the overall quality of the service.
Do Seek Personalization in Services
Look for makeup artists and hair stylists who tailor their services to your specific needs, preferences, and skin type. Professionals who take the time to understand your desired look and offer personalized product recommendations will deliver more satisfying results.
Do Look for Communication Skills
Choose stylists who excel in communication and make you feel comfortable. A friendly and easy-going demeanor can greatly enhance your experience, ensuring that you can discuss your vision and receive valuable tips throughout your appointment.
Do Consider Product Quality
Select service providers known for using high-quality products from reputable brands. Upscale makeup and hair care products contribute to a longer-lasting and better-quality finish, making your overall look more polished and professional.
Dont’s
Don't Ignore Hygiene Standards
Ensure that the makeup artist or hairstylist maintains high hygiene standards, including the use of clean tools and products. Poor hygiene can lead to skin irritations or dissatisfaction with the results, so always inquire about their practices beforehand.
Don't Rely Solely on Price as an Indicator of Quality
While pricing can give an idea of the service quality, it shouldn't be your sole consideration. Higher prices do not always guarantee better results. Investigate the artist's portfolio and customer feedback to make a well-informed choice.
Don't Forget to Communicate Your Preferences Clearly
Not conveying your specific style preferences or concerns might lead to unsatisfactory results. Clear communication about your desired look and any past issues with makeup or hair can help the stylist better meet your expectations.
Don't Book Last Minute Without Checking Availability
Last-minute bookings can result in rushed services or limited availability of the stylist. Always check the stylist’s schedule ahead of time and confirm that they can dedicate the necessary time for your makeup or hair styling needs.
