Step 9: Under Payment Details, you can enter your Credit Card number and expiration date. You can also choose to give your consent to have your session automatically recorded. If both you and the Artist give consent, the session will be recorded. Session recordings can be found in the Sessions section of My Account, under Past Sessions.
Step 10: Finally, click Confirm Order to complete your booking.
Once your artist approves your session, you are all set to have a great Artist session! You can find your session link under Sessions in My Account.
