Luxury hair brand MOOD is actively seeking fresh creative talent to join its 'MOOD Lifestyle' Art Team. The recruitment drive aims to embody the brand's philosophy: "Creating a community, be part of a lifestyle." Industry icon and MOOD Creative Director Tracey Ann Smith will lead the selection process.
This initiative offers aspiring stylists the chance to learn from established professionals, including mentorship from Smith and MOOD Ambassador Marlene Lamont. Applications require a 1-minute video and two work images, with a deadline of 5pm on February 9th, 2026. Shortlisted candidates face 'blind auditions' involving on-the-day cut, colour, and styling challenges judged by industry experts.
Selected Art Team members will receive regular education, attend major events like Salon International and HairCon, and participate in the MOOD 2026 photographic shoot. Substantial product packages are also included. The brand's commitment to its team culminates in an end-of-year awards night.
While the recruitment offers significant exposure and development opportunities, the emphasis appears heavily placed on the MOOD brand's ecosystem. The structure suggests a focus on artists who can embody and promote the brand's image and products. It will be interesting to see how this translates into creative freedom for the new recruits.
