Glam Hub Lite versus Full Service

The station spec is the same at both tiers. What differs is the hub around it. Your clients get access to all the hotel and location amenities available to Glam Hub masqueraders in that territory. They are treated exactly like our own.

Full Service Glam Hub (Trinidad, Jamaica, Miami)

The shuttle runs in Jamaica and Trinidad. Trinidad and Jamaica also run bronzing, a barber and reels. There is no shuttle in Miami this season. The venue has ready Uber access, and overnight bag check is available as a paid add-on.

Glam Hub Lite (all other territories)

Station rates by territory

Full Service Glam Hub

Glam Hub Lite

Vendor and merchandise spaces

A space inside the Glam Hub to sell products to masqueraders on Carnival morning. Typical sellers are Monday wear, costume accessories and merchandise. This is not a station. A station is a working chair for a service provider.

What you get

Anything beyond the space and access to card processing is confirmed on enquiry.

Vendor space rates

US$250 per day, US$400 for both days. The same flat rate at every Glam Hub, Full Service and Glam Hub Lite alike. A vendor space is not a station and is not priced from the hub tier.

How it works

  1. Enquire with your service, your territory and the days you want.
  2. We confirm your territory, your dates and remaining station availability.
  3. You pay the station rate and are allocated a station in the lounge.
  4. We accept Zelle, PayPal or a secure online Stripe link. Payment details are sent to you when your station is confirmed.
  5. You show up with your kit and your clients, and work.

Why a Glam Hub station beats setting up alone

The venue is already booked and staffed, masqueraders are already coming through the door, and there is a receptionist checking your clients in, so you are not managing the door from your chair. You keep your own bookings and your own prices.

Station rental questions

How much does a Carnival station rental cost?

A station in a Glam Hub Lite territory is US$200 per station per day. A station in a Full Service territory, meaning Trinidad, Jamaica and Miami, is US$250 per station per day or US$400 for both days. Rates are per station, per provider.

Which territories can I rent a station in?

Every Carnival Glam Hub territory with a season still to come, Full Service and Lite. Right now that is Jamaica, Trinidad and Miami as Full Service hubs, and Tobago and Atlanta as Glam Hub Lite. Saint Lucia, Grenada, Antigua, Barbados, Toronto and Guyana have finished for this season and return with next season's dates.

What is provided with a station?

Every station comes with a 6ft truss table, a table cloth, access to a plug and 2 regular chairs, inside the air-conditioned beauty lounge, with reception and check-in for your clients, a changing room, wing and bag check while your clients are with us space permitting, and the refreshments that territory runs. Full Service hubs add breakfast and refreshments, alcohol, a seamstress on site, getting-dressed assistance available to your clients, and a shuttle in Jamaica and Trinidad.

What do I need to bring myself?

Your full kit, your products, your tools, a high chair, a ring light, and an extension cord and multiplug. Everyone must carry their own extension cord and multiplug, no exceptions. We do not supply product, equipment or consumables.

Can I rent a high chair?

Yes. A high chair is available to rent at US$25 per day, charged per day like the station itself. Ask for it when you enquire so we can set it aside.

How do I pay for my station?

We accept Zelle, PayPal or a secure online Stripe link. Payment details are sent to you when your station is confirmed.

Do my clients get the hub's amenities?

Your clients get access to all the hotel and location amenities available to Glam Hub masqueraders in that territory. They are treated exactly like our own. The station spec is identical at both tiers. What changes between a Full Service hub and a Glam Hub Lite is the hub around the station.

Can I bring an assistant?

Tell us at enquiry. Space on Carnival morning is finite and every station is allocated, so an assistant has to be agreed in advance rather than assumed on the day.

How do my clients find me at the hub?

Our reception checks your clients in and directs them to your station, so you are not managing the door while you are in the chair. You bring your own bookings and keep your own client relationships.

When do I need to book a station?

As early as you can. Station numbers are capped by the floor space of each venue and Carnival morning sells out well ahead of the season, so popular territories close first.

What happens if I need two days?

In Trinidad, Jamaica and Miami the both-days rate is US$400 per station. In Glam Hub Lite territories there is no fixed both-days rate, so multi-day is confirmed on enquiry.

Can I sell Monday wear at the Glam Hub?

Yes, through a vendor and merchandise space rather than a station. A vendor space is a space inside the Glam Hub to sell products to masqueraders on Carnival morning, typically Monday wear, costume accessories and merchandise. It is US$250 per day or US$400 for both days, the same flat rate at every Glam Hub. You get the space and access to card processing at the hub. Anything else is confirmed on enquiry.

What is the difference between a station and a vendor space?

A station is a working chair for a makeup artist or hair stylist to service clients from. A vendor and merchandise space is a space for selling goods to masqueraders. They are separate offers, at separate rates, and a vendor space is not a station.

Do you take a cut of what I charge my clients?

No. You pay the station rate and keep what you charge. We provide the location, the lounge, reception and the hub's amenities.

Enquire about a station or a vendor and merchandise space.
