 The hairdressing industry is well suited to creative individuals who
have a keen sense of style, are interested in fashion and have the
enviable talent of being able to visualise what the end result of their
creative work is likely to be. In many ways hairdressers are like
artists only our hair is their preferred canvas.
In recent years dramas like cutting it and reality documentaries
like The Salon have glamorised the industry even more so and add to this
the infectious talent and magnetic personalities of celebrity stylists
and it’s no wonder hairdressing is a popular industry to enter.
Job Opportunities are plentiful and potential earnings very good indeed for
those that have the drive and ability. But all future budding celebrity
stylists have to start off somewhere and particularly within the hair
industry this is as a hair salon apprentice or by attending a hair course offered by a college.
In between doing shampoos, making coffees and sweeping hair off the
salon floor the hair apprentice will learn the basics of the craft and
qualify as a stylist. If you're interested in becoming a stylist then make sure you read some of our articles written by experienced stylists who share their experiences of working on the salon floor and also give advice on how to get started in the industry.

Once they have gained their NVQ level 2 in hairdressing the newly qualified hair stylist will probably look for their first job placement as a junior hair stylist and then work their way up through the hairdressing hierarchy. Some qualified hairdressers will be all rounders both cutting, styling and colouring their client's hair whilst others will operate as specialists gaining employment as either colour technicians or perhaps as hair extensionists.
And for those stylists who find their customers aren’t prepared to undergo the full extent of their creative prowess there are numerous opportunities to work on the creative teams responsible for styling the hair of models on fashion shoots, shows and glossy magazines. Not to mention the opportunity of participating in fiercely competitive inter salon competitions to determine who the creme de la creme of the industry are.
