In order to attend a party in an elite nightclub, you need to pass by a security officer who stands at the entrance. It depends on his decision whether the visitor gets inside or not. The article will discuss what face control is, how to pass it, what rules should be followed, how not to respond to guards' provocations, how to look, and much more.
Definition
The term “face control” itself is of English origin and is formed from two words: face, which in Russian is defined as “face”, and control, which means “check” in translation. The task of such control is to not let people inside the premises who do not correspond to the format of the institution. As a rule, prestigious entertainment venues such as bars, casinos, and nightclubs arrange such checks in order to restrict access to drunk and young visitors.
The person who performs such checks at the entrance is called a face.
What is face control? This is a kind of screening of visitors, which is done according to some rules. For example, people in a state of intoxication or drug intoxication, who are not suitable for the events held, do not have enough finances, in appearance show poor financial situation, have a disgusting appearance (dirt on clothes or on the face), are in a condition after a fight , with mental disabilities and so on.
History of the concept
What is face control? How did this form of verification come about? The original form of face control was the price of the ticket. As a rule, it was installed at a high level, so only those people who had enough money to pay for entry could become a visitor to a certain elite nightclub. However, it soon became clear that this criterion was not enough, since wealthy visitors in a state of severe alcohol or drug intoxication could just as much rowdy as poor students.
The very concept of face control appeared in the 70s of the last century in the United States. Five thousand people were invited to the opening of a nightclub in New York, the main condition was the presence of a bright and memorable outfit. The main task that the owners of this nightclub set for themselves was to introduce ordinary Americans to the spoiled elite public who can also dress beautifully and look good. Well-trained security guards were put in at the entrance, and they drove out, relying, of course, on their own impressions.
At present, the profession of a face (security guard) obliges one to have a phenomenal memory for people, the ability to get out of conflict situations, and be able to recognize people who are prone to aggression.
What is face control for?
Nowadays, elite nightclubs do not set a fee for visiting, you can get inside for free, but for this you need to pass a check at the entrance. Faiser can refuse absolutely any guest without explaining the reasons. This face control rule only adds to the popularity of institutions and makes them even more desirable to visit.
Checking at the entrance is not only a way to combat alcohol and drugs, but also a struggle for the club’s image, since it is the visitors and their status that influence the popularity of the entertainment establishment.
Facers often provoke potential visitors at the entrance to figure out those who are clearly out of their minds.
What is face control in modern times? The main task of such a check these days is to fight for customers and increase revenue, so men who want to spend time in the club must be solvent, and women are cheerful and beautiful.
Who are hired by the face controller
Face control in translation literally means “face check”, but officially there is no vacancy for a face control employee. There is no profession, but there is such a job. In order to get it, you should have a number of certain professional qualities: a good appearance, a good memory for faces, the ability to quickly respond in stressful situations, the ability to control yourself, and so on.
Provocation of aggression at the entrance to the club
Facer, as a rule, provokes some people in order to determine whether they are adequate or not. If a person shows aggression, he remains at the entrance, and they will not let him into the club. But even if the visitor got into the institution, there are also guards inside who monitor the guests. Persons who seem suspicious, aggressive, can be removed from the institution without explanation.
Who will not pass the control?
Face control in the club is the concept of the institution, which is set in advance by its owner. For example, lists of regular guests and visitors are approved by managers and co-founders. As a rule, they include bankers, businessmen, businessmen, representatives of show business, media and network people. But most of the visitors are ordinary ordinary citizens who came to have fun and relax. Security pays attention to appearance, clothes and behavior.
Clothing style and blacklists
Some nightclubs require visitors to adhere to a particular style or dress code. What is it and what is it for? To image and maintain a certain status of the institution. The guard does not consider which clothing brands are on the visitor, it draws attention to the style and format of the clothes.
In addition, it should be noted that almost all clubs and elite institutions have black lists of visitors. They include brawlers, previously guilty clients, and inadequately reacting guests to situations. He fought, broke something, stole, got drunk - got into the black list of the institution.
How to pass face control?
We will figure out how to behave to a person in order to pass control. First of all, you should initially understand that not all establishments can be reached, even if you are well dressed and prepared. For example, private private parties can be visited strictly by invitation. In addition, you should not try to get to restaurants and clubs for very rich people, if you are not. Firstly, everyone there knows each other. This is a kind of closed party where strangers do not like very much. Secondly, attending such events requires clothes of this class, which not always and not everyone can afford financially.
So, if you want to go to a nightclub in the evening, what is necessary to pass face control? First of all, you should behave calmly and know who it is being screened out. For example, people with heavy alcohol intoxication, aggressive, dressed inappropriately.
Often features of appearance and behavior can alert guards at the entrance. Waving, vigorous gestures, loud phrases, obscene speech, angry facial expressions can be the reasons why the face user will not let a person inside the club.
Bruises on the face, a broken nose, a bandaged hand, and so on, may become a cause for suspicion, even if these are consequences of an accident. As a rule, the guards do not explain the reason for the refusal, they only state the fact.
The second main reason for refusal is alcohol or drug intoxication, the degree of which is determined by the faceur visually by behavior. Therefore, if there is any disease, the symptoms of which are similar to the effects of alcohol, then entry problems may also occur. For example, security guards often suspect a variety of forms of nervous tic - they are very similar to the behavior of drug addicts who are brittle.
The most offensive reason for failure in face control is physical data and appearance features. For example, a huge mole or birthmark on the face, burn, cleft lip, disability, and so on. The guards are interested in the solvency of visitors, so they try to protect others from unpleasant emotions. Of course, everything is individual and depends on the policy of the club and its owner.
So, to pass face control you need:
- Dress nicely and neatly.
- Be sober.
- Do not show aggression.
- Do not flirt with the guard.
- Smile politely.
- Do not make an angry face.
- Be calm and confident.
In addition, it is better to bring a small neat handbag to the club, large trunks and backpacks, as a rule, cause suspicion.
And finally, good advice regarding money and credit cards. It’s best not to keep them in your wallet or bag, but to put them in a secret pocket, as pickpockets very often operate in such establishments.
Instead of a conclusion
It is worth remembering that if the nightly entertainment is aimed at a respectable audience, all visitors are welcome there. Those who can spoil the mood and the evening to other guests are cut off at the entrance thanks to face control.
