Tip Tuesday: Headshot Hair and Nails


Figuring out what to wear is only the first step in preparing for your headshot session. You’ll also want to pay special attention to your hair and nails.
I can’t stress enough the importance of well-groomed hair in your headshot. Bad hair can ruin your whole session!

Tip One: Don’t style your hair in an unusual way. You want to look like you normally look.

Ladies: Play it safe and go to the hairdresser for color and cut a week before the session. Then have your hair done the day of the shoot.
Guys: go to the barber a day or two before the session.

Tip Two:
Remember the importance of your hands they will be part of your portrait. Whether you choose to do your nails yourself or have them manicured, keep them clean.

Ladies: If you wear nail polish use coordinating colors. Frankly it's best to keep them a neutral or no color polish so they don't clash with your clothes or distract from your face.
Guys: Buffing your nails will make them shine and show that you care about your grooming.

You’ll probably use your headshot for at least a year. You don’t want to wish that you’d gotten a trim or manicure every time you see it!

Okay so that's two tips. It's enough for now. Enjoy!
