7HuesHair Submissions

7Hues acknowledges that hair can be manipulated, cut, colored, and formed into a piece of art. Imagination takes on another level of creativity when you’re talking about cosmetology. The ability to tell a story using hair is beyond amazing. The hair industry generated over $56.2 billion in the United States in 2016. Though consumers tend to be more price conscious during hard times, they do not stop spending when it comes to hair needs.  So in today’s environment of rising per capita incomes, the beauty business is booming.

What makes a stellar editorial pop right off the page is the full look from top to bottom. Cosmetologist play a major role in the advertising business, ensuring that each project and campaign, shot, and published inside of 7Hues magazine, will display only the best high end imagery and visuals that can match this day’s level of marketing. The cream of the top refers to the finished hair style. A polished look using hair to attract more attention to your model, who will be marketing your product and bringing you more business.

Submission Guidelines

ALL WORK MUST BE EXCLUSIVE AND UNPUBLISHED.

7Hues Magazine only considers reviewing exclusive fashion/hair editorial pieces, beauty stories, how-to’s, articles, and fashion/hair films. A release is required to be signed by the photographer once the editorial/fashion video is approved. If your editorial or fashion video has been published in another publication it will not be accepted.

IMPORTANT

Images that have been posted on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc.) will not be published. We like to keep images exclusive to the magazine. Once published if accepted, you can post your work online.

We accept multiple categories  in the field of Beauty, Hair & Conceptual Art. Take a look at the mood boards provided below to get a sense of what we have a taste for here at 7Hues.
