First, please read our FAQ on How much can I change my appearance before a shoot?
Changing your head hair before your shoot (but after we’ve seen images of you, and approved you for a shoot) may be a problem… or it may be fine! If you’re considering a significant change (that is, a change in style, length or colour) let us know beforehand. Minor changes, such as a tidy-up trim or re-dying roots are always fine.
Our customers pay us because of how our models look, and if models change their look from what was approved, we may not be able to offer them work.
To be clear, we never want to dictate what you do with your hair, we’re just saying, in some situations we won’t offer you work if your look changes significantly.
Before the work is done
Letting us know before the work is done is always best. Send some images showing how the new hairstyle would look – any pics from the internet are fine for this, to give us an idea of what you’re aiming for.
That way, if the change would mean we cannot offer you more shoots, maybe we can squeeze in a shoot before the change. Or, we can discuss the change and maybe come up with a solution that suits both us and you.
Or at least, you know before the work is done, how it will affect your work with us.
But perhaps the most common is, we have no problem with your proposed change at all!
After the work is done, before a booked shoot
Notifying us after the work is done is fine (for example, “Hey, this is my hairstyle now, will I be able to make any shoots with abbywinters.com?”), however our answer may be “No, we cannot offer you work with that hairstyle” – that’s why it’s best to contact us before you get work done.
After the work is done, on the shoot day
If the first time we see your new hairstyle is on the day of the shoot, we may cancel the shoot on the spot.
We only make shoots of models who look the way our customers want.
