still have questions? here are the ones we answer all the time.
how will I know what models I can book with?
all soona models are everyday people local to our studios. we have a wide variety of ages. skin tones. and genders. Log into your soona account to preview our model directory at book.soona.co/directory.
you’ll select your top choice models for your shoot after you complete your booking.
specific details (such as measurements) can be accessed during or after your selection process.
what if I need shots above the elbow? or want to feature other body parts?
for content that features anything more than hands (such as face, upper arms, torso, legs and feet): book a full body model!
hand model shots can also be achieved with a full body model.
do hand models arrive with manicures?
the hand model service includes clean and unpolished nails that are cared for by the model themselves at home.
your model's hands will be moisturized and cuticles trimmed. nails will be free of dirt and no longer than 1 cm in length above the fingertip.
- if a color or a standard nail look + length is desired - use our press on manicure service for $39 per model.
- if you need your products applied to a model’s nails - use our custom manicure service for $109 per model.
do I need to join my virtual shoot with a hand model?
yes! virtual shoot attendance via chat is required so you can give live feedback and we can capture your content just the way you need it.
if you do not attend we do our best to capture your goals. after we wrap, if you'd like more content with the hand model: you must create another booking and pay for the hand model service.
