This is an ideal career for creative thinkers. Total image requires personal consultation and consideration of facial shapes and features. A good hairdresser will bit by bit, piece by piece achieve the building block to create the pattern of hair style artistry.

Environment and Culture of the workplace

Salons range from small owner operator, 2 to 3 Salon operators to large chain groups or Hairdressing and Day Spas.

Staff presentation should reflect the style of the salon. Salons that specialize in colour work, would expect their staff to lead by example. High fashion salons staff would wear the trends they were promoting both in hair and fashion.
