Hair and Makeup Trial- Safe Location?

Hello! I’m in the middle of trying to find my hair and makeup professional for my wedding. There’s a lady I found on Thumbtack that is reasonably priced but she is a traveling MUA and would need to come to my home for the hair and makeup trial. I feel really uncomfortable with that idea because of safety concerns (this is essentially a complete stranger who isn’t affiliated with a well known company or brand) and worse, what happens if I don’t end up liking my hair and makeup? I just never know what people are capable of.


She doesn’t have a salon or another place I can meet her at. Also I don’t feel comfortable asking to use one of my friends’ homes because I feel like I would be putting them in the same safety issues. Any other options or avenues I can try here? Has anyone experienced this before?
Also if she does a great job and I want to hire her for my wedding day then she could just do my hair and makeup at the venue so that shouldn’t be an issue. I’m just trying to figure out a safe location for the hair and makeup trial.
