Hairdressing | My work

I am indeed a hairdresser, i have been hairdressing for almost 4 and 1/2 years. I started when i was 16 soon to be 17 after realising six form wasnt for me. My mums a hairdresser and my nan once did for a while, so when i was young i was surrounded by it as my mum worked at home.

I think hairdressing is very 'down graded' as i would say. People look at it as a job for ' thick people' or people who ' didnt get gcse's '. I think their wrong, us hairdressers dont just sweep hair, drink tea and chat all day!

We go to work and change peoples appearence (  which is a big deal ), whether its a restyle, a colour change or even just a maintanace cut, we are there to help and advice clients on what suits them and how to look after their hair. Some clients just love coming to the salon to talk about personal problems which then can feel like a counseling session as well, we are there to listen and make the clients feel 100 times better then when they walked in. Its rewarding, loads of fun ( especially when the client is up for anything ) and challenging ( which is great because it pushes you out of comfort zones ).

We arent just thick people who do nothing with our day, our job requires skill, creativity and loads of knowledge.

I thought i would show you some of my recent work, just so you have a little insite into what i do everyday :)

I have recently started my level 3 nvq ( more experienced course in hairdressing ) which involves a lot of up do's. I dont specialise in hair up, these are just a few that i have done for assessments and generally just practacing and experimenting.
