What is the Studio G VIP Membership?

In an effort to make your life easier and reward you for your commitment to your creativity, becoming a VIP means a reduced hourly rate (savings of $61/hour on hourly bookings, $169 on half day, and $287 on full day), and access to the Studio G Preferred Vendor List. This group of individuals offers discounted rates and knows the ins and outs of Studio G, too, which means less hassle and more efficiency. Join here!

The monthly fee of $79 guarantees your placement as one of the limited Studio G VIP spots.

What types of rooms and spaces are available?

Studio G MKE features three distinctive rooms, all of which are yours when you reserve the space. 

— A large room orchestrated best for beauty professionals hosting lash or brow trainings.

— An office space that’s perfect for dedicated, head’s down work or podcast recording.

— The main area with a photo backdrop, conference table, beauty stations, etc. This is great for brand shoots, content creation, makeup and hair, parties or hosting classes, private events (yoga, meditation, sound baths). This area faces Silver Spring and has standard street noise, so we don’t suggest this for any sort of audio recordings that you don’t want a bit more sound insulated.

I’m a photographer, how is the lighting?

Our spaces have been decorated with you in mind. Not only is the front room bright and features lots of natural light, it’s been painted and equipped to enhance the light available. There is a large white backdrop as well as numerous lamps. Let us know if you want specifics or if you’d like to come tour the space!

When is the STUDIO open? How do I gain entry?

The studio is available for booking 8am to 8 pm seven days per week, all year round. We understand that your dreams don’t take nights and weekends off, so we do our best to ensure the studio is available to you. 

You will be provided with a door code in advance of the session.

If you have any questions or concerns, rest assured the front desk staff downstairs at GÄDIS Beauty is happy to assist.

Who can I bring with me?

That’s your call! There’s no additional fee, but we do ask that you keep the group to a max size of 12 in order to keep noise at a minimum out of respect for the other building tenants. NOTE: All guests are your responsibility and covered under your signed waiver.

How early can I arrive?

We’ve scheduled 15 minutes of buffer between sessions, but that is for OUR opportunity to ensure that the space is ready for the next guest. Please arrive at or after your start time and be ready to leave at your end time. For example, if your shoot or important meeting starts at 9:30 or 10AM, we’d suggest booking starting at 9AM to ensure you’re settled in beforehand. Please see the OVERAGE & LATE DEPARTURE policy below.

  POLICIES

  BILLING & MEMBERSHIP

  For VIP Memberships, you will be auto-charged on a recurring monthly basis, consistent with the first day of your enrollment. If you wish to cancel, please notify us in email to info@studiogmke.com with 30 days notice. This means that if you notify us in the middle of a billing cycle, you will be charged one more payment unless it’s exactly on the last day of your current cycle. Example, if your next payment processes on July 15, notify us on or before June 15.

  
  

  BOOKING TIME OVERAGE & LATE DEPARTURE

  Your booking starts and ends with the times you reserve, not at the time of your arrival and departure. If you require extra time to move things and load/unload at either end of your booking, please book appropriately to avoid any extra charges.*Your card on file will be charged a $200 late fee if you are not able to leave the space before the end of your booking time. If you are on the fence about needing more time, it's worth the hourly rate to book generously to allow yourself some breathing room versus paying the larger fee on the other end.
