Hairdresser

Hairdresser is a professional who specializes in the cutting, styling, and general care of hair. Hairdressers are also commonly referred to as hairstylists and are often housed in a salon where they offer their services to clients.

Duties and Responsibilities[edit | edit source]

A hairdresser's primary duties include cutting and styling hair according to a client's preference. This often involves the use of tools such as scissors, razors, and blow dryers. Hairdressers also offer services such as hair coloring, perms, and hair extensions.

In addition to these technical skills, hairdressers must also have good customer service skills as they often build long-term relationships with their clients. They must also have a good understanding of hygiene and sanitation practices to ensure the health and safety of their clients.

Training and Qualifications[edit | edit source]

Becoming a hairdresser typically requires a high school diploma or equivalent. After this, aspiring hairdressers must complete a state-approved cosmetology program where they learn the technical skills needed for the job. After completing this program, they must then pass a state licensing exam to legally work as a hairdresser.

Related Occupations[edit | edit source]

Hairdressers often work alongside other beauty professionals such as makeup artists, nail technicians, and beauty therapists. These professionals often work in the same salons and offer complementary services to clients.
