A creative career where you make your own hours and earn as much as you want.

Are you looking for a career that lets you be creative, have job security, and make a difference in people’s lives?

Look no further than the salon industry.

Not only will you get to try out all sorts of fun styles and techniques, but you’ll never run out of clients because haircuts are always in demand. And the best part? You can have a great work-life balance – many hairdressers and barbers work independently or have flexible schedules. 

The sky’s the limit when it comes to career growth with all the education and training available. Every day, you’ll get to make people look and feel amazing. If you love to work hard, there’s nothing stopping you from earning a six-figure income. Plus, you can move into the corporate side and manage a beauty brand. What’s not to love?

So, you want to be a hairdresser? Here’s what you need to know to get started:

  1. Cutting skills: You’ll learn how to cut and shape hair with scissors, clippers, and razors.
  2. Styling 101: You’ll become a pro at styling hair with blow-drying, curling, and flat ironing.
  3. Color game: You’ll learn about color theory and how to mix and apply hair color.
  4. Safety first: You’ll learn all about keeping the salon clean and safe, including using chemicals and protective gear.
  5. People skills: You’ll need to be able to talk to and understand your clients to make sure they’re happy with their hair.
  6. Biz basics: You’ll learn how to schedule appointments, keep track of your supplies, and manage money.

Plus, opening your own salon is in your reach – be your own boss and hire a team to help you make your career dreams come true.

These are the basics, but the hair world is always changing, so you’ll need to stay up-to-date and keep learning new things.
