Background Checks
The
Disneyland® Resort performs background checks for all jobs.
Appearance *
The Disney Look is a
classic look that is clean, natural, polished
and professional and avoids "cutting edge"
trends or extreme styles. It is designed with
both our costumed and non-costumed Cast Members
in mind. Just as an actor or actress would wear
a costume themed to the character they are
portraying, Cast Members wear a costume that
supports the role as well. Choices in appearance that do not support that role
are unacceptable.
The Disney Look – Includes but is not limited to
the following requirements:
Male and Female
Intentional body alteration or modification for the
purpose of achieving a visible, physical effect that disfigures, deforms or
similarly detracts from a professional image is prohibited. Examples: visible
tattoos, brands, body piercing (other than traditional ear piercing for women),
earlobe expansion, tongue piercing or splitting, tooth filing and visible, disfiguring skin implants.
Male:
- Jewelry - Only one ring on each hand and a watch
are permitted.
- Hair - Cut above the ears and not touching the
collar in the back. Must be one natural color. The style must be blocked and
tapered. No bi-level cuts.
- Face - Beards are not acceptable and sideburns
cannot extend below the ear lobes. Mustaches must be neatly trimmed and cannot
extend below the corners of the mouth
Female:
- Jewelry - Only one ring on each hand is
permitted, with the exception being a wedding set, and a watch. One earring in
each ear is permitted. Earrings may be clip-on or pierced and must be worn on
the bottom of the earlobe. Post earrings may not exceed the size of a quarter.
Hoop earrings no larger than a dime are also permitted.
- Hair - Hair should be neatly combed and arranged
in a classic, easy-to-maintain, proportionally balanced style. Extreme styles
are not permitted. If the hair color is changed, it must be natural looking,
well maintained and appropriate to your skin tone. Subtle highlighting is
permitted as long as it creates a uniform look over the whole head. Shaving of
the head or any portion of the head or eyebrows is not permitted.
- Make-up - Foundation, blush, lipstick, and
mascara in natural tones may be worn. Eyeliner and eye shadow are acceptable in
neutral colors that are close to your skin tone. Fingernails polish, if worn,
should be clear or flesh tone cream enamel. Nail length may not exceed
1/4” from the fingertip.
