A hairdresser is a specialist in creating hairstyles. This is a rather demanded profession, which is popular not only among women, but also among men. You can master it by enrolling in special courses.
Instructions
Step 1
Sign up for special hairdressing courses for men's hairdressers. You can find them using Internet search engines or find them in professional hairdressing salons in your city. Courses last from a few months to a year and are usually taught in all major localities. In order to choose the right course and institution, it is important to determine for what purpose you want to be trained as a male hairdresser, for example, to simply cut your friends and family or work in a serious salon. Some would like to open their own salon in the future. Remember that the pricing policy and directions of hairdressing courses are different. Determine for yourself what skills you want to acquire before applying to this or that institution.
Step 2
Training can also be completed by experienced craftsmen at the salon. It lasts about 3-5 months. Find out if there are beauty salons in your city that recruit trainees for further work in them. The cost of training depends on the prestige and level of professionalism of the institution's masters. Getting to study with real professionals is not easy, and the cost of courses here is much higher than in other places. The diploma of conferring a master's degree is usually obtained only by those who have managed to pass the exams well, the rest are issued only a simple document on the completion of training.
Step 3
To choose a school in which you will truly be taught the basics of skills and will lay a solid foundation for further development, use the recommendations of people who have already been trained, or chat with the masters who teach at a particular school. Find out how much the masters for working with men's haircuts are valued in hairdressing establishments in your city, whether there is a demand for them, and how their clients perceive them.
Step 4
The location of the courses plays an important role. Find an institution closer to home so you don't waste time on the road, especially if you will be studying in the evening. Note that many of the training providers are also training centers. In addition to hairdressing courses, they also teach other specialties.
Step 5
After you have chosen a school of hairdressing, you can start training. However, keep in mind that professional cutting and coloring tools are not cheap at all, and you will have to purchase them yourself. Before starting the training, your teacher will tell you what and where to buy.
