  • Please arrive on time or plan to be a couple minutes early. Timeliness is an essential trait for a working model. 

  • Clothing should be clean with no stains and minimal logos and lint free.

  • Style hair the way you normally like to wear it; we can adjust it as needed but start with your preferred style. Natural texture is preferred by many agencies. 

  • Face should be clean and moisturized. Please arrive with no makeup

  • Have outfits neatly hung or folded; they can be steamed upon arrival.

  • Get plenty of sleep the night before and stay hydrated.

  • Familiarize yourself with poses from websites that sell clothing (such as Alo, Gap, Nike, Levis, Banana Republic).
