Course Description
A hairdressing salon is a business that focuses on cutting, coloring and styling customers’ hair. Many hairdressing salons are located in shopping areas in towns and cities. Smaller salons may have several hairdressers, while a large salon may employ dozens of hair stylists. The services offered at a hairdressing salon may include nails, makeup and skin care as well as hair cutting, coloring and styling.
All hair salons have hairdressing stations. Typically, they’re in a row along a countertop and mirror attached to a wall. Each station has a chair that is usually padded for comfort. The hairdresser adjusts the chair to each customer and spends time discussing the cut, color and/or style the person wants. Each hairdressing station in a salon typically has a wheeled cart that holds hair supplies.
Hair stylists use tools such as shears, or scissors, curling irons and hair straightening devices. A hairdressing salon usually offers hair washing services and in smaller shops, there may be only one sink area reserved for this. Many quick cut chain salons that don’t require appointments, don’t wash hair, but rather expect clients to have their hair recently washed to save time.
