Frequently Asked Questions

Bring 3–4 outfit options that reflect your professional image. For executives, solid colors and classic styles—jacket and shirt combinations—work well. Actors should bring varied looks that showcase range. Avoid busy patterns, large logos, or overly trendy pieces. Comfort is key: if you feel good, you'll look great. We have a steamer available to freshen your clothes when you arrive.

For women, professional makeup is strongly recommended to ensure a polished, camera-ready look. Our on-site makeup artist specializes in natural enhancements that photograph beautifully without appearing overdone. For men, we provide light grooming and shine control. Arrive with your hair styled the way you'd want to appear professionally.
