A hairdresser, sometimes known as a hairstylist or salon professional, is a trained person who specialises in hair cutting, style, and grooming. Hairdressers work in salons, barbershops, or as freelancers. A hairdresser’s job description often includes the following responsibilities:

Consultation: Hairdressers meet with clients to learn about their desired hairstyles, preferences, and any special hair-related issues. They evaluate the client’s hair type, texture, and facial shape before recommending appropriate hairstyles and treatments.

Hair Cutting and Styling: Hairdressers cut, shape, and style hair based on the client’s preferences and current trends. To obtain the appropriate haircuts, layers, or trims, they employ professional tools such as scissors, clippers, and razors.

Hair Colouring & Highlights: Hairdressers provide services such as full-colour application, highlights, lowlights, and ombre or balayage procedures. They carefully pick and apply hair colours or bleaching products, taking into account the client’s hair condition and desired outcomes. They also offer colour maintenance and aftercare assistance.

Hair treatments are offered by hairdressers to improve the quality and look of the hair. Deep conditioning masks, hair masks, or treatments may be used to address specific issues such as dryness, damage, or frizz. They may also provide scalp treatments or specialised treatments for conditions such as dandruff or an oily scalp.
