Cut Hair! Gorgeous Female Model Turned To Handsome Male Model

A woman who is now working as a male model has released a video of the life-changing moment when she had her hair cut off.

Elliott Sailors came forward last week talking about her decision to use her androgynous looks in a different way by seeking work as a male model instead of female model.

Now she and her husband have released the video of the emotional moments where she took her place in the barber shop chair and watched as the electric clippers.

She wrote about the experience in The New York Post,'They said, "We don't actually do women's short-style haircuts.” I laughed and said, "I understand. I want to look like a boy,'' she wrote.'When I sat down in the chair, I told him, "I'm going to cry, but don't worry about it. I REALLY want to do this.”'

Sailors, 31, has explained that the decision to drastically change her look is a pragmatic one, as she feels that she will be able to stay in the industry longer as her career was headed down a catalogue-focused path as opposed to high fashion.

She and her husband Adam Santos-Coy married in 2011 and over the course of their first year as a married couple they had multiple conversations about the prospect of changing her look to work in the male modeling world.

Her husband Adam Santos-Coy has been a constant source of support, and he was the one holding the video camera during the landmark haircut and he suggested they go to his barber for the big step.

'Tears welled in my eyes again at the first buzz. But I was determined not to have a tear fall,' she wrote in The Post.

'It wasn't so much about my hair — it's just hair. It was really that I had been a model for so long. It's what I do. It was saying goodbye to what I had been and knowing that I was starting something brand new, and I had no idea how it would go.'

She appeared on The Today Show this morning, and though she has not revealed how many bookings she has confirmed in light of her 2012 haircut, she said that the exposure is a good thing in itself.

'I've never regretted it. I'm standing for something different to be possible in the world — and not just for me. It's a stand for self-expression, transformation and freedom,' she wrote.
