Day-to-day operating brief

What Session Stylist (Fashion/Media) work looks like in practice

A Session Stylist prepares hair for fashion, advertising, television, editorial or live production, often away from a salon and under fixed call sheets. The role interprets a creative brief, collaborates with makeup, wardrobe and photography teams, manages continuity and performs changes without compromising model consent or hair integrity. Terms should cover travel, irregular hours, kit, assistants, credits, embargoes, client confidentiality, behind-the-scenes images, intellectual property and expenses. Continuity records should identify camera angle, scene order, products and intentional changes, not merely save a final photograph. When production shoots out of sequence, that detail can prevent unnecessary restyling and protect model hair from repeated heat.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Interpret mood boards and briefs.
Prepare models with consent.
Create and maintain required looks.
Record continuity across scenes.
Manage kit assistants and hygiene.
Respect embargoes and image controls.
