SCENE DESCRIPTIONS

  • Yacht Club Scene:
    • Think upscale and polished. This is the city’s elite, dressed for a stylish daytime outing at a high-end country club. We’re looking for people who can bring that elevated, fashionable energy. Crisp, classic looks with a bit of flair are perfect.
  • Conference Room Scene:
    • This room is filled with the city’s top hair stylists who are bold, glamorous, and unapologetically stylish. We’re talking standout nails, statement jewelry, trendy hair, and confident fashion choices. The women seated around the table should feel like they could be peers of our lead character, Aja – bold, put-together, and always on trend.
