Q: Can I take the classes separately?
A: Yes, you can take the classes separately, although the individual classes are broken down mostly for our union students who are already working in the business, know how to apply and work with wigs and pieces, do some period styling as well as have production knowledge and just need some brush-up, whereas the master class is designed to guide you through from start to finish with hands-on training, theory and a realistic view of how it all works in an organized manner.

Q: What is the Master Class?
A: The master class
The master class is designed to guide you through from start to finish with hands-on training, theory and a realistic view of how it all works in an organized manner.

Production part of Class
In the production part of the class, you learn how to get started right away on your resume and portfolio, the different avenues of film, television, print and video. All about the union, how to keep track of what you are shooting and what the actors need to look like for each scene, how to break down a script and follow along during shooting. Who’s who. In total, it’s like learning a foreign language.

Lace Wig Part of Class
In the lace wig class, you will learn how to work with the most used type of wig in the industry. A lace wig is hair hand-tied to a lace base so that is looks like it is the actual hair of that person, and it is applied much differently than a hard front wig. Have you ever seen Rue Paul? That’s a lace wig.

Period Hairstyling Part of Class
In the period hairstyling class, you learn how to do research for a project and put together the information you will need to get the job done accurately. You will also learn how to break down a hairstyle with your eyes and put it together on the head, how to use the proper tools and what they are. This is one of the most fascinating experiences for even the most experience stylists.

Synthetic Wig Part of Class
In the Synthetic vs. Human Hair class you will learn all the different kinds of wraps for the different kinds of wigs and how to properly attach and style synthetic wigs and pieces. We start you at the basics and take you though to perfection.

Q: How do you get into the Union?
A: This is one of the questions we will answer in the production class, so it might be a good idea to start writing a list of questions for when you take the class.

Q: Does On Set get you a job?
A: On Set connects our students with other student film makers, photographers, producers and directors. This enables you and them to begin to build your resumes and portfolios and have on set experience.

Q: Can On Set get me into the Union?
A: We cannot get you into the Union, but we show you the foot work you need to do to be able to qualify for Union membership.

Q: How long will it take me to get started?
A: You get started in the class, you actually start building your resume and portfolio the first day of class, plus we give you foot work to get started on immediately, so by the time you finish the class you know where to go and what to do.

Q: How much money can you make working on film?
A: Well, we have based the price of this 40-hour workshop on the lowest week of a non-union production, which, after you have a couple of projects under your belt, you can start at $300 a day.

Q: Can I get my Cosmetology License though On Set?
A: No, On Set is advanced education, but for motion picture work you do not need your cosmetology license, so anyone can take the classes, although we do recommend having some experience with hair and/or make-up.

Q: What will I need for the class?
A: We have full kits for either rental or purchase once you register for a class. We can either fax you a materials list, or mail it to you if you would like to purchase these items yourself.

Q: What do I do to register for the class?
A: We need your name, address, and phone number. And we also require a $500 deposit to reserve your spot in the class.

PAYING BY CHECK: We must receive the check 2 weeks before the first day of class. If there’s not two weeks before the class date you are registering for, you need to send a money order or a cashier’s check. Same goes for the balance due.

PAYING BY CREDIT CARD: We accept Visa and Master Card only. You will need to bring this same credit card with you and the balance is due on the first day of class, so make sure you show up at least 15 minutes early to finish your registration.
