anyone can do it -
as long as they have hair....and generally having quite a bit of it helps. You have no option in what they do to it, though.
you do in a coupla places now
win win!
nice!
Oh and I think the term 'model' is meant only in the 'model to work on' sense, as opposed to the 'model to photograph' sense.
I think so long as you've got alright hair..
then I don't see why not.
I thought hair modelling was when they like took pictures of yr hair and stuff... had a couple of exes who did that.
That's what I thought.
My boyfriend used to do that.
anyone can
It's just for the trainees to practice on! I don't think they photograph you or anything.
i'm so going to inquire about this
my hair is so long i wear it as a scarf, but i have no moneys.
anyone can do it
I've done it quite a few times, but wouldn't go again.
Some tips if you want:
a) don't go to vidal sassoon. they will make you look like something out of star trek and you will have to get your hair cut again. the toni and guy school is the best - basically anywhere but the vidal sasoon 'creative' school
b) the hairdresser does photograph you for their portfolio but it's nothing to worry about - it's really just a snapshot
c) dress very badly. honestly - this is the only way to guarantee they won't fuck up your hair by doing some futuristic ridiculous haircut
d) say what you want and be adamant. it will still look nothing like what you want at the end, but it won't be embarrassing. the longer your hair is, the better off you are because they are a lot more careful then.
my friend had Vidal Sassoon
ruin her hair in Princes Square. It was white & blue and squint
oh dear
that sounds pretty awful. hope she salvaged it.
My single worst experience was when I actually bothered dressing up and going. I ended being put on a podium in a classroom of about forty Japanese students. One of the head stylists proceeded to cut my hair very very slowly for about forty minutes, while tutting every five seconds because of the crapness of my posture. Facing me was another 'model' having the worst haircut in the world by another head stylist. It was purple and she looked like Space Cindy. It really was atrocious. There was no mirror. Then I got off the stage and these students crowded around me, with their cameras, telling me to turn around, and then actually turning me around in order to get their photograph. It was HORRENDOUS. Then I saw it for the first time and there was one very long bit at one side and one very short bit at the other and a terrible short unflattering fringe. When I got home, after searching furiously for a hat in TopShop, my flatmates started uncontrollably laughing at me.
Bastards! It's not worth it!
my friend had Toni and Guy
ruin her hair somewhere in London. She said she looked like a robot from the future with grey/purple hair, and wouldn't let anyone see her until she'd had it re-dyed. Friends who've been to the Toni and Guy academy in manchester have had no such problems though, but waiting list can be looong
also:
be prepared for it to take 1.5-2 hours if you go to toni & guy. there you can also choose from their generic toni & guy cuts, so you'll have some idea how it will turn out.
i'm more tempted to go with one of these 'creative' ones, but maybe no longer after zsa zsa's post...
my housemate works at aveda
it's handy for me, I get free cuts at home.
about your question - it depends. If it's for staff training type things, it doesn't matter at all, it's more about the trainee learning the techniques etc, but if it's for a show or something, then unfortunately model 'looks' (height etc) are needed too.
is she a trainee there?
cos that might explain your hair....
FUCK YOU
she just got promoted to MASTER STYLIST
shows what titles means, she's still the lowest ranked full timer there (70 or so hairdressers)
but I like calling her the MASTER STYLIST now.
I've had it
done at the T&G academy place a couple of times and it's been good. As ZZGB says, it's better to dress down so's that they don't pick you for the 'special group.' They did do exactly what I wanted in the end, although it took ages: she too a long time to do a 'perfect' trim, practicing getting the length right all over my head, then she pretty much took 5 minutes at the end to style it into what I wanted.
Also, every time I've been there I had my heair cut by a (different) extremely hot polish girl. Do with that information as you may.
I am TOO cute to be a model
..
you're so vain.
*Super-Cute
...
Oh Thanks for saying that
...Dinoir?
you're welcome.
Dinoir......an offer?
yes...
if you are into Black-French-Cuisine....
heh, well -
try everything once. That's my motto!
*or twice, or more as the case may be.
I'm quite happy with my face, though ;)
he probably thinks this thread is about him!
doesn't he?
doesn't he?
well,
he walked in
to the party
like he was walking onto a yacht.
So I would assume so
:)
I dont know a-yacht about that
....BAM!!! I am Like Wordie
Never quite understood that line.
What, a bit awkward and tottering? That's how I'd walk onto a yacht.
this is one of my favourite songs
His hands strategically placed below one hip/his scarf it was apricot
I mean, the dude couldn't have been that vain. He sounds...just wrong.
Also
she is harsh for chiding him for thinking that the song is about him. The song.. well, it does sound like it is about him.
Or is that the point? WHOAHEYTHATSPRETTYDEEP
Yeah, so deep
She's so specific 'You flew to Saratoga' with an 'apricot scarf'. You like yachting. All the girls at the party looked at you. But no, if he thinks the song is about him, then it proves he IS vain, just like she says!!! Playground tactics. What a mindfuck.
Carly Simon:
pretty much one step up from pulling the boys hair and/or kicking them in the nadgers to get their attention.
Like Beryl The Peril in a leotard and hoop earrings.
is it not:
'hat strategically tipped, below one eye'?
Pedantic much?!
haha :)
Yes...that makes more sense. He still sounds lame.
Yes. Indeed.
