How To Get From a Junior Hairstylist To A Top Hair Stylist
One of the area's that evade some hairstylist, is the part where they stretch themselves to become something out of the ordinary, and move on to become a Top Hair Stylist.
This is a grey area of learning, once you have learned all the cutting skills and techniques, and this is important, you do need to be comfortable with all these techniques, you will not progress if you have gaps or omissions in your learning or understanding of all the haircuts.
You now need to work from within and stretch your self as a Top Hair Stylist.
Understand what looks good and what looks exceptional, work that comes from your day to day clientele can look good, but if you look to what the top stylist are creating, the sharpness of the hair cut or the finish they have achieved, and look at the hair colour they have chosen to enhance the haircut, these are all indicators of how to achieve exceptional work.
If you are freelance, or working in a small salon you may not get the chance to work with other high fashion hair stylist and see how they work, or learn what their approach is or see there tricks and tips.
I have tried to help you become all you could and should be as a Top Hair Stylist, but this is about you.
Get a strategy that will bring the best out of your hairdressing, book some time out for your self to go on a day course or go to a hairdressing event, get in touch with the major hairdressing companies and ask their advice.
Hairdressing is not a stand alone profession, there are people who can help you progress, sometimes you have to shake off the working norm's and invest some time in your self, sometimes and evening event can be just the tonic to get your imagination flowing again, summer is coming, are we going to have a Sixty's twist to it or will it be an Eighty's feel? That fact is I don't know yet, but where ever the feel takes you go with the flow.
I hope you find the summer invigorating and begin to knock out some fantastic haircuts and hairstyles.
Look at the finish of your haircuts and take that Big Salon, Big City approach to your work and try to create those great celebrity looks.
Have fun with your hairdressing.
