Salon stylists
primarily perform hair cutting and styling.
All states require licensure for stylists,
and most require graduation from a formal
training program. Certificate and associate
degree programs are standard options for
most salon stylists.
Salon
stylists perform a broad range of beauty
services, from cutting hair to
performing scalp treatments. Typical
duties include shampooing, cutting and
styling hair, though they may also
provide hair treatments, including deep
conditioning, permanents, hair coloring
and weaving. Due to the number of
services offered at most salons,
stylists must be skilled at using a wide
range of beauty products and tools.
Salon stylists must be able to work with
a variety of hair lengths, types and
textures.
