Thinking Of Becoming A Haidresser? Guide To Hairdressing

To begin with the first thing you need to have in order to become a hairdresser is definitely the passion for the job. You will get entangled over your head with no satisfaction whatsoever if you look at it as a plain, with no perspectives job; try to make out of it an act of creation that will hopefully lead to both your satisfaction and to the person?s sitting on your ?creation/transformation chair?.

So, if we decided that you have the creativity, the eagerness and rigurosity to put your patience and skills to the best of use now let us get to more down to earth and deal with the pragmatic side of matters:

After finishing a hairdressing school (presumably you had been part in a hairdressers? school where you got familiarized with all required techniques and got a license for immediate practice) you have to go in search of a professional salon.

There, try to get/steal as much information and practice as possible. In time from a junior hairdresser you will switch to a senior one working independently with real clients. The period of time needed for this phase is between 1-1/5 years (both the school and apprenticeship period of time)

It does very much depend on your abilities, capacities to grasp and process the new information coming from everywhere and also your communication skills. After all the work you put in and here comprising all the hours of apprenticeship in a salon you just have to go for the licensure exam that will ultimately acknowledge you as a fully entitled practitioner.

Now, even though you don?t need to have two MBAs and a doctor docensis diploma you do have to take both a written exam and a performance one so that everyone be reassured with you taking good care of their most precious jam, namely, their hair.

To conclude with an important advise for all future hairdressers: don?t waste your time in striving from the start to be ?the dream hairdresser ever?, take it with loads of patience and understanding, learn and steal from the best, keep yourself updated to all products and techniques that continuously emerge and get more and more spectacular in this branch.

Try and establish at all times an honest relationship with the person that comes in to the salon and asks for your help, whether they need a re-adjustment or re-looking or they want to have better, shinny hair?

To wrap up with this easy-to-follow and friendly approach on how to become a hairdresser I?d have to add just one more thing: let your magic hands do the hard work and always aim to improve in this business.
