I think I wanna become a hairdresser...?

What are some of the qualities you should have, or talents you should have?


I cut my own hair, and I really like doing my hair, I do it even when its like 12 at night.


What else do you have to do other than cut and style hair, wash and dry hair and sweep up hair?I think I wanna become a hairdresser...?
Hey Baby, So you want to become a hairdresser? That's great!! Well first of all you have to be a people person... you have to be willing to talk and engage the client, if your shy this might not be a field for you. Being creative is also a plus... a lot of clients will tell you to do what you think its best so if you have a little creativity in you it will take you a long way. There is a lot more to hair then just cutting it and styling it... there's of course COLOR!! Which is my favorite thing to do. Foil highlights are very popular right now and that's where the money is in this business. If you can get color down and are great at making formulations you will go far. You can also learn how to do hair extensions which are gaining popularity as well. There is also relaxers, perms and waxing... you can do so much with a cosmetology license. The possibilities are endless.... I hope some of this information helps you in making a decision about entering the beauty industry... take care!!!I think I wanna become a hairdresser...?
your very welcome.. and know that this is a great field to be into.. there is nothing like making america beautiful one person at a time!!!

Be prepared to make little money at first. If you live in a small town you will probably have to commute to work. Doing hair has alot of advantages but it isn't as glamorous as you think. You can always get your hair done fro free by your friends who do hair. You also have to put up with people who think you are a magician and can make them look like Angelina Jolie. Develop a thick skin and try to watch more experienced hairstylists. Everyone has their own style of doing hair and you will find your own.
Well, whether you work under someone or start your own business, working at a salon, I would think...would require creativity, and a sense of fashion and...most importantly communication so you can get a feel of what your clients want. I would also learn how to do makeup and/or nails, like spa-ish things...definetly something you might run into at a salon!
You also have to have a creative personality that isnt like something just anyone can think about. You have to know to express yourself through the hair you cut but still give what the customer wants. All and all its all about creativity and neatness. Speed is also important but you get that from experience. I think considering what you like doing your well on ur way to becomming a hairstylist :)
well, i know that you have to be in school for a year or 2.


when your in 12 grade, you can go into the salon, and shadow..


or they might let you be a shampoo person, and help with the iron's and sweep the floor.
Well, you'd probably need creativity, an eye for detail, and flexibility. Also, know different styles people would want. (:
