What are the grooming standards for foot models?

soona foot models perform their own at-home self-care prior to the shoot. All are expected to arrive with well groomed, moisturized, and clean skin + nails.

For an extra polished look or to showcase your nail products, add the custom pedicure upgrade.

What about leg hair?

Generally, what you see is what you get! If the model has shaved legs in their modeling profile, they will arrive with shaved legs for the shoot. Alternatively, if they have leg hair, you can expect hair on the booking.

You may, however, indicate a shaved leg preference during model selection. Please note that a model could decide to not service bookings with shaved leg preferences different than what is shown in their profile.

What if I want the model to wear something other than the standard wardrobe?

Models will arrive with the standard wardrobe options. Any additional wardrobe options (bottoms, socks, shoes, sandals, jewelry, etc.) should be sent to the studio with your product.

How does model selection work?

Visit book.soona.co to sign in, browse models, and book directly - or complete model selection after your booking is made. Either way, you'll see active models available in your booking's city.

Use filters to narrow by shoe size, skin tone, gender, age, and more. From there, review portfolio photos and model details to choose your top 2-3 preferences. You can also note any extras like shaving, nail, or wardrobe needs - and if you're sending wardrobe, your model's sizes will be available to you.

Once your selection is made, soona handles the rest. We'll communicate and coordinate directly with the model so you can focus on shipping your product, building your shot list, and prepping for your shoot.

How can I get on the schedule sooner?

When we receive your product, we get you on the schedule for our earliest available date and time. If you would like to be scheduled sooner, you can join our waitlist. Sometimes we have last minute cancelations and can get you on sooner. You must have open availability to sign up for the waitlist.
