Is this a free or discounted service?
Model call services are offered at a substantially reduced rate or, in some cases, complimentary in exchange for participation in a structured education session and the right to use before/after photography in our salon portfolio. The work itself is a full-quality service — the trade is your time and your willingness to be a model.
Who actually does the service?
An associate or emerging stylist performs the technical work under the direct supervision of a senior, master, or master-director stylist. The senior stylist remains in the chair-side educational role for the entire visit and reviews every step.
What if something goes wrong during the appointment?
Senior oversight means every decision is checked before it's executed. We do not start a service we are not confident we can complete to our standard. If a service requires more time than scheduled, we extend it — we never rush past a quality threshold to stay on time.
Which services qualify?
Most foundational work qualifies — cuts, classic color, foil and balayage highlights, blowouts, smoothing services, and select treatments. Highly specialized services like extensions or correction color are typically not part of model call sessions.
Can I choose my own service?
Model calls match guests to the curriculum being taught that session, not the other way around. We'll review your hair, your goals, and the session topic — if there's alignment, we move forward. If not, we'll suggest a regular appointment with the right specialist.
How long do appointments run?
Plan on roughly 50% longer than a typical version of the same service to allow for the educational pace. We schedule generously so the senior stylist has time to teach, demonstrate, and review.
Will you photograph my hair?
Yes — that's part of the model call exchange. We capture before/after photography for our salon portfolio, social channels, and continuing education. Faces are optional; we only photograph identifiable images with explicit written consent.
How do I apply?
Submit the application form below with a recent photo and a few details about your hair. Our education lead reviews applications weekly and reaches out when there's a session that fits.
