A hairdresser has to master professional skills for care of the hair, cutting, hairdressing, coloring, perming, shaving and doing make up. In a customer service profession such as this the emphasis is on interaction, co-operation and entrepreneurial readiness. Hairdressing professionals are expected to support their customer's individual style and beauty and to give him or her a sense of well-being. In this field, it is also important to have a good understanding of the aspects of environmental friendliness from the point of view of customer service. Guiding customers in hair care and the use of cosmetic products is part of the work. Hairdressers usually work either for someone else, as self-employed or as private entrepreneurs.
