1. Plan to arrive at the studio with your hair clean and dry (do NOT plan on having the stylist blow-dry your hair).

2. Clean hair is the easiest for the stylist to work with. Day-old hair is fine if you don’t typically wash your hair every day, but if the roots of your hair are wet or greasy, it will be difficult to style. Some people have heard that dirty hair is easier to work with, but it’s not true. Squeaky clean hair is actually easier to style than greasy hair! 

3. If your hair is very slippery or fine, don’t worry, the stylist will add texture powder and sprays to get the right look.

4. You are welcome to bring clip-in hair extensions to your shoot.  If your extensions are more than 12 inches long, please just let us know in advance as this may add extra time to your hair styling.

5. If you plan to bring a wig, remember that only 100% human hair wigs can tolerate the heat of a curling iron / flat iron. If the wig is a synthetic blend, it will melt.  Sometimes wigs ordered on Amazon are labeled as human hair, but are actually a synthetic blend (look for authentic Remy 100% human hair wigs with an intact cuticle layer).  If you aren’t sure, do a test with a curling iron at home to see if the hair will curl.  If you are unable to curl the wig at home, the stylist won’t be able to curl it either.
