HAIRDOTCOM’S THE PERFECT SESSION EDUCATORS

MIRANDA ELMER AND REBECCA WILCOX’S TOP TEN TIPS

1. Always bring your full kit, don’t just bring kit you think they are

asking from the brief. It is better to be over prepared than under prepared.

2. Early night the night before, turn up on time, be alert and fresh for
what’s to come and wear comfortable shoes to be on your feet all day.

3. Your styling and dressing skills must be on point so practice, practice

and practice.

4. Make sure you know what kit is needed for each look i.e., curls what
electricals you need, ponytails what types of elastic or bands are needed.

5. Read and understand the brief, do some research if you are not sure

on certain styles and know who’s having what if that is already in the brief.
When on set, ask questions if you don’t know something and know who is

in your team - hair, makeup artists and clothes stylists.

6. ‘Take it on the chin’ if something you have done isn’t quite right,

listen, watch and re-do. No one is perfect but the hair will need to be a
certain way so may need tweaking or changing. Don’t take it to heart and

just get on with the changes.

7. Always be polite and professional. You will learn so many tips and
tricks on the day and you want to impress so you get asked back.

8. Understanding the artists, you assist is really important, what’s

expected, what’s needed, being one step ahead when passing up.
9. Be aware of the environment you are working in. Where to stand and

where not to stand, when to take breaks. Never just disappear make sure

people know where you are. Be present.
10. Understand the social media and company etiquette you are working

for as there will be very strict rules on all types of work, shoots, shows and

TV work.
