Today, many are thinking about getting the profession of a hairdresser. After all, hair cutting, styling and dyeing masters are always in demand, and their work is well paid. However, this profession, like any other, has its own nuances. Before making his choice in favor of training in hairdressing, a person needs to become familiar with the features, advantages and disadvantages of this work.

The main directions of the specialty

What is the profession of "hairdresser"? Its description is quite extensive. A modern hairdresser is not just a person who knows how to cut and dye hair. He should be a magician who creates unique images for his clients. There are several main directions in hairdressing:

  • male master;
  • female master;
  • colorist;
  • braiding specialist;
  • station wagon;
  • hairdresser-stylist.

Characteristics of directions

What are the differences between the work of each of the mentioned masters, it is clear from the name.

  • The male master is engaged in the creation of hairstyles for the stronger sex, and the ladies' curls fall at the disposal of the female.
  • The profession of "hairdresser for children" means working with little clients, whose hair is sometimes very difficult to cut.
  • Colorists are taught the art of dyeing, highlighting and coloring hair.
  • A weaving specialist can easily create evening, youth and avant-garde hairstyles on the client's head using different kind braids.
  • But above all, the universal hairdresser is valued, because he alone can replace all the above specialists. Such a master knows the technology of haircuts for men, women and children, knows how to curl, style and dye, knows how to choose the right hair care products, understands the intricacies of the effects of various masks, shampoos and conditioners on the hair. It is these masters of a wide profile that are gladly hired to work in hairdressing and beauty salons.

What is a hairdresser stylist?

If a client needs an evening or model hairstyle, then he needs to keep his way not to a generalist, but to a hairdresser-stylist. A specialist of this level is considered the most competent, because he understands the latest fashion trends, creates haircuts and styling of any degree of complexity, knows how to work with hot scissors, knows different ways curling and dyeing hair, etc. The profession of "hairdresser-stylist" is in demand in expensive beauty salons, on television, in show business.

What else does a good hairdresser need?

Craftsmanship is not all that is required of a person who enjoys the profession of "hairdresser". The description of this activity also includes the need to have communication skills, for which you need to be a good psychologist and be able to maintain conversations on various topics. But you shouldn't stop here either. A hairdresser must never forget that his main duty is to make people beautiful. His work requires an individual approach to each client. In order to become a real professional, a hairdresser needs to love his work and treat it as a creative process.

Briefly about the history of hairdressing

Barbers were needed at all times, but before their work was not as high-paid as it is now, and such a job could not be called prestigious. The history of the "hairdresser" profession goes back several millennia. Fashion for hairstyles existed in ancient Egypt. The barbers' task was to create and care for the wigs of noble nobles. In the Middle Ages, a haircut "under a pot" was popular among the male population, and women hid their hair from prying eyes under cloth capes. The profession of a barber reached its greatest skill in the 17th century: at this time, huge wigs, reaching a height of up to 50 cm, came into fashion.In order to construct and maintain such structures from hair, the craftsmen needed to have special skills and talent. Anyone could not become a barber, because the secrets of working with scissors and combs were inherited from the older generation to the younger.

The merits of the profession

Before getting the profession of a hairdresser, a person needs to carefully read all its pros and cons.

The most important advantage of the specialty is the high demand in the labor market, since both women and men want to be beautiful. Even a master without experience can find a job today, because a large number of hairdressing and beauty salons are open in every locality.

If a specialist for some reason does not want to work in a salon, he can provide his services at home at home or with a client. There are not so few home-based hairdressers today. In order to receive a stable and decent income, working for himself, the master needs to have a large number of regular customers.

A good specialist will always be able to feed himself and his family, because hairdressing services are not cheap. Even if he is temporarily unemployed, he will be able to cut and paint his friends and neighbors, receiving a decent material reward for this.

Working as a hairdresser involves communicating with a large number of people, including influential people. Having worked for several years in the salon, the specialist will acquire a solid circle of useful acquaintances that will be useful to him in the future.

Cons of working as a hairdresser

Having familiarized yourself with the main advantages of the profession, it is necessary to move on to considering its shortcomings.

Hairdressers have their own occupational diseases. Due to the fact that the master spends long time on his legs, he develops diseases of the spine, varicose veins, arthrosis, arthritis. The use of aerosols, the inhalation of odors from nail polishes and hair dyes leads to the development of allergies and bronchial asthma in beauty salons.

The dream of becoming a hairdresser can turn into disappointment when a young specialist starts working with clients, because among them there are many conflicting and always dissatisfied persons. This craft requires tremendous endurance and resistance to stress, it will be psychologically difficult for an impressionable person to do it.

There is a lot of competition among hair cutting and styling specialists today. In order to find a job in a prestigious salon, a hairdresser needs to be a professional in his field, and for this he needs to constantly improve his skills.

Craftsmen have to buy all the professional tools for their work at their own expense, and they are not cheap. For example, only simple scissors will cost a hairdresser several thousand rubles, and besides them, he will also need a variety of combs, brushes, clamps, a hairdryer, curling irons, curlers, razors, sprayers, a hair clipper.

Specialty training

To become a hairdresser, you don't need to spend a lot of time and money on training. You can learn how to use scissors and a hairdryer in short courses lasting only a few months. The skills and abilities obtained there are quite enough to get a job in an ordinary hairdressing salon. If a person strives to become a real professional in his field, he will have to additionally attend advanced training courses, take part in various competitions, take mastery lessons from recognized geniuses of their craft. Also today, many universities offer those wishing to master all the nuances of working with hair, becoming a qualified specialist with a higher education.

Diligence, accuracy, creativity, endurance, sociability, tact, benevolence, the ability to find an individual approach to each client - these are not all personal qualities that the profession of a hairdresser requires. This specialty has its pros and cons, just like any other. Having familiarized yourself with them, you can decide for yourself whether it is worth choosing hairdressing as the work of your whole life, or it makes sense to look for your vocation in another occupation.
