2. Hairdressers study the new client's face, hair and scalp. They determine whether it is thick and heavy or whether it needs a perm for more body. When a change of color is desired, the hair is tinted or highlighted. The hair is cut to the agreed length and form, curled and died. The hair is then blow-dried and combed to create a specific style or look.

7. I’m interested in this career because it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m very into style, and hair and all of that stuff, and I love styling and cutting hair. I cut my sisters hair all the time, and I’m getting better at it! I have tons of fun doing it, and I enjoy it a lot.
