Expert Advice - Merry Christmas to all!!

This week’s show was full of what we love the best, and that is our listeners calling in with questions about the industry. What I have found is that the lack of real information about the industry is why we have such an over saturation of people just spinning their wheels trying all types of different things to accomplish having careers in the modeling industry.

Usually, people ask question hoping to get the answer that will allow them to pursue this career. Unfortunately, I sometimes have to give answers that they may not want to hear. Sometimes, I have to give the answer that will let them know that this may not be the career path for them.

Such was the case for a young gentleman that called in from Alabama. Standing 5’7” tall he wanted to know how to pursue the modeling career with his height.

Answer: Male models need to be tall, generally at least six feet. There are exceptions to the rule, but the rule is between six feet to 6’2. Basically they need to be able to fit into a size 40- regular to a 42-long jacket.

 Male models walk the runway in the major menswear fashion shows. They also do a lot of catalog work. There are catalogs that will allow male models to be as short as 5’10, anything below that is usually unheard of.

One of the questions concerning female models came from Dallas, Texas Donice wanted to know if she should consider pursuing a career in modeling in her forties or was it too late. – women’s age

Answer: Real-people models can be of all ages, from quirky kids featured in cereal commercials to feisty old ladies in fast-food commercials. Parts models can also be of any age, as long as their “part” looks young and beautiful, or it fits the image of the product being advertised.

Mizani Educator Warren Burrell on Show

We had Mizani Educator Warren Burrell on the show with us Wednesday December 8 talking about hairstyling within the fashion industry for the models and who better to share with us than Warren. He places himself in positions to strive to be the best. As an educator for Mizani, a professional division of L’Oreal, Warren receives some of the best education this industry has to offer.

As far as training, Warren has done corporate training, classes, hair shows, and assisted in the making of some educational DVD’s. Warren currently educates in a college in Dallas Texas and also works behind the chair. So what do women REALLY WANT? Truly healthy hair and a great cosmetologist to go along with it.

Warren expertise, however, goes beyond his training but rather is his core. Warren Burrell really knows what women want. As the youngest of three siblings, all girls, this definitely has had an impact on Warren working with women. The thrill of the hunt, a challenge, the quest for knowledge, all contribute to Warren ’s love for the cosmetology field.

Warren Burrell is of a different breed. He takes pride in his work as well as seriousness. Warren understands all things in the field require special training, and he receives it. Warren specializes in healthy hair, hair cutting, hair color, and the giving and receiving education.

She is a graduate of Hillcrest High School and began her collegiate career at Paul Quinn College where she majored in communications. After the completion of her freshmen year, Karen Michelle decided to take a break from school to gain some hands on experience in the fashion industry. Starting out with small modeling jobs for local Lane Bryant stores and auditions for television shows such as the West Wing, Parent Hood, and Living Single, Karen Michelle has made her mark behind the scenes. In 2008, she produced her very first fashion show, Phantom Runway, benefiting Genesis Women’s Shelter in Dallas, TX.

After much consideration, Karen Michelle embarked upon one of the greatest opportunities of her life; going back to school to obtain a degree in Fashion Marketing. Her fascination with marketing and fashion production birthed Front House Management (FHM)!
