Fox News is laying off staff, with big cuts to hair and makeup

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Fox News has made a round of layoffs, affecting less than 3% of staff, as part of restructuring efforts to streamline the business.

The outlet's on-air talent are spared, but every other part of the company is affected — especially the hair and makeup teams.

The cuts mean hair and makeup will no longer be provided to Fox News guests, a source familiar with the restructuring told Business Insider.

This means that that anchors, which includes like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, will continue to receive those services.

The cuts are said to particularly affect its hair and makeup teams, meaning only regular on-air personalities will receive styling, as opposed to external guests, a source familiar with the restructuring told Business Insider

2. LOL, "I only signed up to be a guest because they'd do my hair and make-up"

said nobody ever, but maybe will if I get to keep the stuff they used to stage my home office with all the trimmings too - LOL!

You know what they say: After 3 interviews, house guests are expensive and start to stink.

3. Got to shave costs somehow, or we'll take a financial haircut.

No need to get all lathered about this. These changes will probably not be permanent.

6. Actually, I can see the reasoning behind not styling the guests.

If their hair/makeup staff only works on their on-air hosts, they decrease the chances of spreading infection from random people. It's the same as the social distancing theory of limiting your in-person contacts to a known few.

Plus, aren't most guests now appearing by video? They shouldn't need to do hair and makeup for everyone.
