What they do:
Hairdressers cut, colour, style, and care for hair, using a range of techniques to meet individual needs. Their work includes providing personalised consultations and recommending suitable styles and treatments.

The profession also includes customer service, product sales, and the organisation of salon activities. A clean, hygienic, and welcoming working environment is maintained at all times.
