Pleasant Solutions Careers

Position Available:

• Part-time hair and makeup stylist for video production, with optional wardrobe styling duties.
• We are also hiring for other positions (videographer / shoot producer, graphic designer, etc.). If you know someone in any of these areas, please do them a quick and friendly favour by letting them know about this posting.

Position Overview:

• Permanent and steady position.
• Dates can be scheduled well in advance if you need them to be.
• Hours are generally during traditional office hours, as opposed to evenings.
• Days are typically between 5 to 8 hours long when video production is scheduled.
• Duties will include styling hair, applying video-shoot makeup, and optionally assisting with wardrobe selection.
• Stylist should be an expert in using hot tools, styling products, brushes, and makeup (particularly photo-ready or on-camera specific products). You do not need to own all of this equipment already.
• Stylist will not be required to bring wardrobe, only to provide styling tips and assistance when requested.
• Stylist will not be required to provide haircuts, but we are open to that if your skills allow for it.
• Work in a respectful and safe environment with great people. You will naturally be expected to promote that environment by sanitizing tools and applicators between actors.
• Clients will consist mainly of our employees and executives, company clients, and professional actors.
• Focus on achieving noticeably remarkable, Hollywood-level, portfolio-worthy results.
• Opportunity to collaborate on projects for exciting, award-winning products and services, with world-class video editors, videographers, script writers, and motion graphics designers.
• Occasional opportunities to work with famous actors for videos and other advertisements.
• Occasional opportunities to optionally assist with movie costume designing and even special FX makeup and hair.
• Employee will be on company payroll. No issues receiving prompt payment as agreed upon, unlike the common problems found in moonlighting short-term jobs.
• Travel is rare but may be occasionally required.
• Stylist position is not in a rushed salon setting where you only perform one type of styling or where quality results aren't appreciated or aren't captured on video for the long term.

Requirements:

• Very skilled with both female and male hair styles.
• Very skilled with both female and male video make-up.
• Able to work in a standing position for long periods of time.
• Takes pride in work.
• No specific requirements for education or industry experience. We evaluate each applicant based on merit rather than formalities.

About The Work Environment:

• Friendly, non-threatening, and non-political environment.
• We are a great environment for both outgoing people and those who are very shy and introverted (so long as it fits the part).
• Auditions are done efficiently, performers can expect very short wait times at auditions, aiming for less than 15 minutes.
• Seating available before audition, no standing line-ups.
• Typically auditions will be done in front of a green-screen with cameras running.
• Our productions are typically scripted by our own full-time professional writers and video edited by our own full-time, professional editors.
• Many productions are in the studio and green-screen, but some shoots will be on-location.
