Singing along with famous musicians and head banging to guitar solos are part of what makes being in the crowd of a music festival so exhilarating. Now, imagine being backstage, not as a fan, but as a beauty professional responsible for those artist’s head turning hairstyles on stage. You can win chance to style some of the country’s most popular musicians through Booksy’s Get Discovered Backstagecontest and make this dream a reality.
Booking and business technology provider Booksy has partnered with Idle Hand Collective (@idlehandcollective), a group of traveling barbers and hairstylists who provide complimentary haircuts to top performers and artists at music festivals around the world. Idle Hand Collective has spent a combined 30+ years on the road helping performers and other professionals look and feel their best before their gigs.
Booksy and Idle Hand Collective have joined forces to create this once in a lifetime contest for beauty professionals to cut and style hair for some of the country’s top music artists and have the chance to Get Discovered Backstage. Barbers, stylists, braiders, and nail artists have a chance to win an opportunity to showcase their talents backstage at major music festivals across the country like Riot Fest, Furnace Fest, and EDC Orlando from September to December 2022.
Booksy providers from across the country can enter to win the opportunity to join Idle Hands Collective and a current Booksy Ambassador this summer at one of many well-known music festivals all around the U.S., and provide service to artists preforming at the event.
This talent-based contest officially kicks off on July 11th, 2022 and will run through November 2022. Many beauty pros will win the opportunity of a lifetime — the chance to work on nationally acclaimed artists at one of about 20 multiple-day music festivals.
