Questions about free nails

Why would a salon do my hair for free?

+

Stylists in training need real people to practice on before they work with paying clients. Salons and beauty schools run model sessions so apprentices can build skills and portfolios — you get the service free or at a big discount.

How do I book a model session?

+

Open a session, tap Message, and introduce yourself with a recent photo of your hair. The stylist will confirm the time and any requirements.

Who does the work?

+

Apprentices, assistants, and beauty-school students — usually supervised by an educator or senior stylist who checks the result.
