in #CASE you missed it… People Glamming Up For Driver’s License Pics
More and more people are shelling out money to get their hair and makeup done before heading to the DMV
While DMVs are know for bad lighting, and capturing people at their worst possible angle, in today’s selfie-obsessed culture, a bad license photo just won’t do. That’s why lots of folks these days are paying big bucks to hairstylists and makeup artists to get themselves all glammed up before heading to DMV for their photo.
This is SO true as I can testify myself when I accompanied my wife on her most recent trip to the DMV. She wasn’t the only lady primping, crimping and fussing with her hair, lashes, and etc…
We’ve already seen celebs like Khloe Kardashian on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians," bring her makeup artist and hairstylist with her to the DMV, as well as Chrissy Teigen who snapchatted her trip to DMV with her hairstylist. But it seems heading to the salon before the DMV isn’t reserved for celebs.
Of course even all glammed up a picture can come out bad and in most cases you’ll be out of luck. In New York, asking to have a photo reshot isn’t prohibited, but it’s up to the employee and in most cases, especially if there’s a line, they likely won’t oblige. “I tell them, ‘This is not a photo shoot!’” says one rep, while another adds, “I don’t let them do more than five.”
And even if you get your reshoot, if you still don’t like your photo there’s always another, more costly option. Once the license arrives you can spend a $17.50 fee for a replacement license.
