Chic Models

I’m a hair model with Chic. I have gone on four auditions since signing and have only gotten one job, which I got through an e-​mail audition. There are usually at least fifty girls auditioning for five positions or worse, and if you have short hair, despite your own «chic» style and willingness to go short, you will barely ever work. It’s strange because I’m always complimented on my hair, booked as a «hair stylist» for extra work because of my look, and told that I’m great for hair modeling. I have mostly booked hair modeling work outside of Chic, which is fine because they take a 20% agency fee.
I wouldn’t say not to join because it can’t hurt to have them in the back pocket. I wouldn’t advise to go on blind auditions, but to wait for jobs that take photo submissions and ask you to audition upon request. The e-​mail audition notices don’t usually have pictures showing the looks they’re going for, so I have definitely wasted a lot of time going for auditions looking only for long-​haired models. I did book one fantastic job through them for ISSE 2012, and it paid well and was a great experience. That’s why I say, go ahead and sign up, but don’t expect much.
