I am about to graduate cosmetology school and am trying to figure out if I would make more money and be more successful with a company like Knockouts Salon for Men or as a makeup artist for the adult film industry?? I find doing makeup and hair for old ladies as kinda boring and am just curious about what's out there.

Welcome to ADT. Someone asked a couple of years ago and the replies ranged from $75 on up.

I'll keep this topic open too, since it's about you getting work.

I thought a lot of the BTS people in porn (lighting, sound, editing, make-up, etc) were film industry people working on porn productions in between being employed on film productions.

Those look like awesome rates! I would dive in. There would never be a dull moment that's for sure! : ) However, there are only a few makeup artists listed there and one of them has her own cosmetic line (meaning she is WELL established), don't know. As much as I want it, the opportunity may just not be there? Are there any agents that handle only makeup artists/ hair dressers or production staff? Maybe I should try back when I am 80 (more established) and do a granny bangers film along with it, LOL.

I used to be in the industry, but I was ticked off back then about losing my jet-setter lifestyle and wasn't used to being treated differently (AKA Meathholes), so things didn't work out and I left. I might be willing to do some decent quality films, but I'm more interested in hair and makeup.

Yeah, I have given it some thought and Knockouts Men's Salon or Sports Clips would be the best choice for me. The industry looks shakey for most people seeking full time employment in it. It seems like an easy choice for a second job though.
