Having a good hair day?
Well today might be the day to start thinking about becoming a model!
Hair modelling can be a fun and rewarding pastime – as well, of course, of providing opportunities for earning a little extra income every now and then.
Here at Models Direct we love seeing beautiful barnets, marvellous mop-tops and glorious golden tresses that shimmer and shine in the light.
Hair modelling is one of the areas our professional agents focus on, matching suitable models with clients seeking individuals with cute curls and fabulous fringes.
But while those with especially luscious locks and magnificent manes clearly make great hair models, it is also worth noting that people with all hair types might also be required on occasion.
Models Direct requires hair models of all ages and looks to potentially take part in a variety of assignments.
Some of these might be for clients seeking to promote hair products, such as shampoos, conditioners, treatments and dyes.
And others might be for those marketing hair accessories and items ranging from blow dryers and straighteners to brushes, combs and headbands.
For a shampoo advert, a client might require a head of happy, healthy hair while for a hat promotion a head of crazy colour might be the perfect choice.
While some hair models are required for photo and film shoots, others might be asked if they are willing to carry out live work, modelling at hair shows and competitions.
For this type of promotional modelling work, people with all hair types and styles might be requested from Models Direct, with the only proviso being that they don’t mind having it coloured or cut during the event.
One modelling assignment required four fantastic female models to take part in a photo shoot for the hair and beauty and gift brands Pro Blo and Flamingo Candles.
Models Direct drew up a shortlist of suitable candidates and the clients selected our incredible quartet – Lydia, Sam, Emily and Page.
Lydia said afterwards:
“It was a wonderful experience and super fun!
“Everyone on set was so friendly and made me feel really at ease!
“Charlie at Models Direct, who organised everything for us, was on hand whenever you needed any info or help from her, which made this whole experience so enjoyable.
“It was the best photo shoot I’ve ever done and I can’t wait for the next!”
And Emily added:
“So this was my first ever job with Models Direct and I certainly wouldn’t want it to be my last!
“The team on the day was amazing, to say the least.
“The girls at the Pro Blo shoot were so warm and welcoming and made us feel comfortable,
“We got on so well anyway but it was just an added bonus to such a great day.
“Charlie at Models Direct was fantastic in every way – she really made me feel excited about the whole thing from the beginning, kept me up to date with all information and was just so great to speak to.
“What a great representative of the team! Thank you so much.”
