1. THE NEEDS OF A HAIRDRESSER

Hairdressing is a complex job. Like any other job to do with fashion, it needs to be constantly rethought for a successful salon. It is also vital to know about the history of hairdressing, quite simply because fashions always come back. Knowing when the great periods are is essential and will stand you in good stead throughout your career. The finger wave style, very popular in the 1920’s, is a perfect example. It went out but still comes back from time to time. Knowing the tools, equipment and products to use is fundamental for mastering a technique and working quickly and faultlessly.

A hairstylist must also perfectly master his subject: the hair, its constitution, its anatomy and the different techniques to be able to modify it.
