Who We Are Looking For
OnSiteGlam is looking for professional beauty artists who understand the pace, pressure, and client care needed for wedding mornings.
Wedding bookings require more than artistry. Artists need to be reliable, prepared, calm, punctual, and comfortable working in real getting-ready spaces with photographers, family members, timelines, and changing wedding-day logistics.
How Raleigh Artist Assignments and Payment Work
This Raleigh opportunity is for independent contractors, not employees. Artists are offered bookings when their services, availability, travel range, portfolio, and professional standards fit a client request.
Booking Review
OnSiteGlam reviews each booking before assignment so the artist understands the service count, location, ready-by time, service type, and expected wedding morning flow.
Payment
Payment is based on the accepted assignment and may vary by service type, booking total, travel needs, artist role, final service count, and whether additional artists are needed. Payment details are confirmed before an artist accepts an assignment.
Tips
Artists keep 100% of client tips. Tips are not guaranteed and depend on the client. Tips are separate from any agreed assignment payment.
What Independent Contractor Means
Independent contractors are self-employed beauty professionals. They are not OnSiteGlam employees, are not guaranteed a set schedule or number of bookings, and are responsible for their own tools, kit, transportation, taxes, insurance, and business expenses unless a written assignment says otherwise.
North Carolina Classification
North Carolina worker classification depends on the actual working relationship and level of control, not just the title used. Artists should review any agreement carefully and ask questions before accepting assignments.
Taxes + 1099
Independent contractors are generally responsible for their own income tax and self-employment tax. If required by law, OnSiteGlam may request a completed W-9 and issue a 1099 for reportable nonemployee compensation.
Important Notice for Raleigh Applicants
This page is general opportunity information, not legal or tax advice. North Carolina and federal classification rules can depend on the full facts of the relationship. Applicants should speak with a tax professional, legal advisor, or appropriate state/federal agency if they have questions about independent contractor status, taxes, benefits, unemployment, workers’ compensation, or business insurance.

The Raleigh onboarding process helps protect the client experience and make sure artists are a good fit for on-site bridal beauty work.
