A hair professional can follow two pathways: hairdressing or barbering. They work within a customer-facing environment, so excellent customer service skills and safe working practices are essential. In their daily work interacting with a diverse range of clients with variable hair types and characteristics, they conduct consultations to help determine services in cutting, styling and colouring. Meanwhile, barber hair professionals create cuts, cut facial hair into shape, provide shaving services and style hair.
