Hairstylist Job Description
The joy of hairstyling comes from helping clients achieve a new look that boosts their confidence. Your job will include suggesting flattering cuts, hair treatments and helpful products to achieve the desired hairstyle. Your busy days will be spent shampooing, conditioning, coloring, cutting, blow drying, braiding, curling and straightening hair.
Depending on your job description and the licenses you hold, you might also do eyelash extensions, eyebrow waxing, makeup application and facials. Some cosmetologists even have a nail technician certification and license.
Other tasks include maintaining a clean and sanitary workstation, keeping track of tips, doing inventory, restocking supplies, folding towels and selling products on commission.
Hairstylist Education Requirements
Your career will require completion of a state-approved cosmetology training program and obtaining a hairdresser license from your state’s Board of Cosmetology Examiners. Approved cosmetology programs are widely available at public and private vocational schools and can be found on your state Board of Cosmetology's license-lookup site. For example, the Minnesota Board of Cosmetology's website lists all state-licensed cosmetology schools in Minnesota and their approved courses of study.
Hairstyling licensing rules vary by state; research the licensing requirements of the state where you plan to work. Most states minimally require an applicant to be at least 16 years old, hold a high school diploma or GED, and fulfill a required number of skills training hours, such as 1,500 hours for a cosmetology license and 600 hours for an esthetician license.
Some stylists seek licenses in cosmetology and esthetics, allowing them to do hair, makeup and skincare. Graduating from an approved training program qualifies you to take a state licensing exam that includes a written exam and sometimes an oral interview or practical skills test.
