It's a busy start to the year for us and we need your help. We will once again enter some of the industry's most prestigious awards ceremonies in 2012 and we are shooting the new collection in February to form our 2012 entries.

Previous years have taken us to London, Paris and Las Vegas to compete on the Global stage and we expect 2012 to bring more of the same. We'll once again work with the world renowned John Rawson, one of the hair industries best photographers and you have the chance to be a part of all this.

How? Here's how...

Head to our Facebook Page today and post a headshot of yourself to our wall. Tell us your name, age and leave us your email address so that we can get in touch.

If you fit the bill we'll ask you into our Newport salon for a casting on Wednesday January 11th at 7pm (yes, next week so you better move fast)!

If we find the right look, the right personality and the right attitude then we'll take two of you to London on either February 6th or 7th to take part in our John Rawson photoshoot. 

Your shots could adorn any number of hair and style magazines, and could form the centre piece of our entries into competitions like The British Hairdresser's Award.

Just to give you a feel for how big this could be, we've had similar shots covered in magazines right throughout the UK and Europe in the past and we're aiming for more of the same this year so get your shots posted to our Facebook pages asap!

How'd you fancy being the face of Burlesque?? Because we're looking for male and female models between ages 17-25 who live within a 20 mile radius of Newport, Caerleon or Usk.

You'll need to be photogenic, commercially fashionable (trendy)! and willing to get invoved and building your portfolio.

On our part, we'll offer... 

• Copies of all your shots for your portfolio, (including shots by John Rawson, the world renowned hair/fashion photographer, The British Hairdressing Awards and other national prestigious competitions)
• Free hairdressing for the duration of your involvement with us
• Extensive travel as a competition model (in the past we have been to London, Las Vegas and Paris as awards finalists)
• Possible appearances in live hair demo's (optional)

Does this sound like something you could do? Great, just join us on facebook for more details and we'll let you know when we're starting our castings.
