I went to a model casting call for the Redken/L'Oreal Symposium in Las Vegas. The models were told (prior to hiring us) that the hairdressers who would be cutting and coloring our hair for the show were "the best in the industry" and that we "should be honored" to even allow these "superstars" to touch our hair. That is the ONLY REASON I agreed to take the modeling job. The payment was suppose to be $500.00. To make a long story short, they destroyed my hair and decided to "release me" from work prior to the show with a "sorry" "here's a bottle of shampoo for your time!!!" They ARE NOT the "best industry professionals" to learn from at these symposiums!!! The result was worse than any beauty school experience! I had to pay $600.00 to CORRECT the damage (hair extensions) and color. The cut I received had chunks (holes) cut out that had to be covered up with extensions. BEWARE MODELS and HAIRDRESSERS!!!
