Models FAQ

Interested in being a Haircut Model???

This is perfect for Backpackers, Students, or anyone on a job search at the moment, also good for anyone adventurous and wanting to do something really cool with their hair.

We are asking that we can do something different compared to when you first come to use in a Before & After picture. It is your hair so you get the final say and I am open to your ideas as well. So if you are looking for something new this is the perfect opportunity for you.

If you are interested feel free to call us at 04-499-1636, email me at info@matthewkanehairdresser.co.nz, or stop by the shop. Please include you name, age, and if you can a recent photo of yourself. Feel free to include any questions you may have as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

-Do models get paid?

Depending on the project, for Before and After projects payment is in the form of a complimentary haircut valued at $87. For more extensive projects that last a day or more then pay can be from $50 to $100, as well as your complimentary haircut. This will be determined during a consultation.

-Where will the pictures be used?

The large majority of the photos are used in the salon on an iPad for consultations with my clients. I do post a small percentage of them online to various sources including my Webpage, Facebook or Instagram.

-Do I have a say on how I want my hair?

Of course you do. My biggest rule is it is your hair and you always get the final say. It is in my interest to work with people in acheiving the best possible look for them, and in many cases I will offer for you to come back to help you to maintain your new look. If you have long hair and would like to keep it long then that is totally fine. If you would like to do something very different then I am more then happy to work with you on that as well. Best place to start is with a Consultation and we can make a decision from there.

-What about haircolour?

Hair colour is possible but I will ask for you to cover the cost of the colour, unless I say otherwise. Cost of colour is from $35 or more depending on how much colour is used. Sometimes with a new haircut a colour would be necessary and I may offer that for free, this all depends on the project.

-Can I come back?

I encourage people to come back as I will never leave anyone hanging with a new look. I do offer people to come back for a follow up trim 4 to 6 weeks later, this is a way on checking on how everything went. Sometimes I will offer ongoing trims to show how the hair is evolving over time. These are great tools to use with consulting with clients as people want to see how a new haircut lasts.
