The role

As a hairdresser, you wash, cut, colour and style hair, and you know how to work with natural, relaxed and textured hair. You install braids, weaves and wigs, advise clients on care and products, and keep your tools and station spotless. Regular clients come back for you.

Skills employers ask for

  • Braiding and twists
  • Weaves and wig installation
  • Cutting and colouring
  • Natural hair care
  • Hygiene and tool sterilisation
  • Client advice

Who is hiring

Hair salons, beauty institutes, hotel spas and barbershops hire hairdressers, as do salons in the diaspora that specialise in African hair. The work is on-site in the salon, sometimes with home visits or bridal and event bookings.

Background and career path

Most hairdressers learn through an apprenticeship or a vocational hairdressing certificate. With a loyal client base you can become salon manager, educator for a hair care brand or open your own salon.
