A selection of the most frequently asked questions
1
Q. Do you sell video's, DVD's , ponytails, other items ?
A. No, we don't sell videos nor do we sell anything else.
2
Q. Why don't you sell videos or anything else ?
A. When we started this site we intended to stay non-commercial,and we have various
reasons not to change our policy.
3
Q. Do you think you will ever sell something, like videos, CD's, photos.
A. No, we never will
4
Q. I would like to see more flattops
A. Oh yes, there is so much we would like too...but the hairstyles we show always are
at the model's discression and free choice.
5
Q. Why are you so tough on copyrights when you freely publish your work on the net ?
A. Photographic work is protected by International copyright laws - on the Internet and any
other form of media.
The process of finding willing models, arranging and discussing the makeovers, paying stylists,
expensive professional hardware, cameras, tape and film, publishing a website
like ours, is both costly in time and terms of money. That is the "hardware" part. The "software"
part is the "intellectual" property of images we create, the subject matter,
the composition, the lighting, the mood. Those who have gone through lengths as we do in producing
similar material know all to well how frustrating it is to find their work the next day
on another site.
Besides all this, we have certain arrangements and agreements with models we
want to honnour. These may include agreements to publish their makeover for a certain length
of time : say 1 month, or 2 months depending on the arrangement. How can we keep control
over these agreements if our images appear elsewhere ?
These are some of the reasons why we are tough when it comes to copyright breaches, and we
do not hesitate to have the offender's site deleted and/or him/her prosecuted.
6
Q. Can you send me pictures of makeover # XX or pictures of this particular hairstyle
A. We publish new material every day, remaining on the site under legal copyright for at least one month so we regret we cannnot send any other material on request.
7
Q. Why don't you show more shaved heads ?
A. The Catwalk Hair Salon is basically not about shaved heads. Although we may have such a drastic
makeover once in a while , our main focus remains on female short and extreme short cuts.
We feature technical perfect and precision cuts demonstrating the various techniques involved
The styles and cuts are creatively adapted to the model's features when required.
8
Q. Where exactly is your salon located ? My wife wants to have her hair cut in your salon
A. The Catwalk Hair Salon is the name of our site. The makeovers are performed in a salon.
For obvious privacy reasons we don't disclose the location nor discuss about it.
9
Q. Are there any models who have regretted a Catwalk shortcut ?
A. It is our main concern to make 100 percent sure this never happens.
We are very happy we have not yet had a dissapointed model and want to keep it that way.
Hair cut off in just seconds takes sometimes years to grow.
Each style is discussed well in advance and the stylist's
professional and artistic approach guides the models through a somertimes difficult
decision. Unless a model insists , the stylist will always work in stages. The model always can
change her mind and back off during the cut when she feels unconfortable.
10
Q. Do you stay in contact with the models ?
A. We always do and follow up the outcome of their dramatic makeover.
11
Q. Why don't you show less pictures in a shorter period of time ?
A. We try to give the best of both worlds. At the same time we receive many request why
we don't show more pictures of a particular makeover. Each makeover is published in a preview
form, a more detailed version of highlights taken with digital camera's.
12
Q. I want to see more pictures of makeover # ...
A. You certainly will in time unless the makeover has already been featured in all it's forms - pre-preview, preview,
full digital version.
13
Q. May I download any of your pictures on my hard drive, or any other storage medium
for my personal use only ?
A. In the strict sence of copyright this is not allowed but we have no objection if you
do keeping in mind our pictures may not be distributed to other persons, used on the net
or anywhere else. In case of doubt you may always contact us. The only exception are the pages and pictures
we protect with right click code, pictures from our previews and new page. All those pictures will become available
at some point in time
14
Q. where can I find makeover # ..., why don't you feature makeover ... once more ? Why don't you leave available the entire version of each makeover,
A. Serverspace and bandwith are restricted and gets increasingly more expensive.
Rather than archiving shown material the Catwalk prefers featuring new material every day
Despite our high costs - stylists, photography - this site is free of charge and does not sell anything.
Remember, commercial orientated sites show much less in the interest of their sales.
Those who visit us regularly and download what they like - see above Q &A 13 -
are able to view the complete makeover off line as long and as much as they like.
As a rule of thumb each part remains at least 3 to 4 weeks available for download
15
Q. I want to see your stylist getting a buzz cut, why don't you do a feature about your stylist
A. Regret, no chance of seeing the stylist featured as a model and we
respect their wishes not to be featured separately
16
Q. What is the stylist's name , I want to know more about her , how can I contact her ?
A. Sorry, we don't disclose private details
17
Q. When do you plan to feature makeover # ... in full detail?
A. To be honest with you, we just don't know. We never plan our updates beyond one week.
18
Q. Why don't you reply to my email ?
A. Sorry, we do not reply personally by email. The vast majority of questions we are asked - unless they are of the nature ... i want to see more of model # .. - are published together with our reply on the site.
19
Q. Can you give me the email address and name of model # ...
A. Sorry, we don't disclose private details of our models.
20
Q. I cannot find makeover # ... , where can I find your archives ?
A. We offer no archives All are makeovers are shown in a preview mode, later in full detail available for many weeks to view The status of each makeover can be seen at all times from the 'view of the back' page
21
Q. I can't access some of your pages . Error codes: IE cannot open the site or operation aborted
A. There are dozens of reasons why some people cannot view some particular site(s).
Try a simple google search and you will see the problem described so many times for a variety of reasons, spyware, addware, bugs, corrupted files, corrupted cache, cookies,
damaged or corrupt IE "plug in" on your computer etc etc.
One thing is common: these kind of problems only occur with MS Internet Explorer, mostly with MSIE 6 .
See some links below on this subject.
If the Catwalk is important to you and you cannot fix the problem , there is only one advice we can give : download an alternative free of charge browser like Opera, Netscape 8 or the magnificent Firefox 1.04. The odds are you will appreciate the alternative so much you will stop using IE 6 just as we did a long time ago
