Tips and advice
19. January 2024
Attending hands-on courses and workshops is a fantastic way to dive into new techniques and trends. Many suppliers and shampoo brands offer courses ranging from basic, effective cutting techniques to more advanced coloring techniques.
Evening shows with models are an exciting way to experience the latest trends and techniques without getting your hands dirty. These events, often organized by leading shampoo brands, provide an opportunity to see professional hairdressers, including well-known names, in action and gain insight into their personal, creative processes and techniques.
Social media is an endless source of inspiration. Hairdressers can follow industry leaders, join online communities, and explore hashtags to discover new styles, color combinations, and cutting techniques. My personal favorite source of inspiration is Pinterest.
Reading blog posts helps you stay updated on the latest trends, products, and techniques. You’re reading this post, for example, because you want to keep your skills sharp – way to go! You’re awesome!
Experimenting with new techniques on bold clients or practice heads is a great hands-on approach to learning. This not only builds experience but also allows you to develop your own unique style.
Attending professional trade shows in the hairdressing industry provides a unique opportunity to see and try new products, learn from experts, and network with like-minded professionals. They’re just a Google search away.
Online courses, webinars, and video tutorials are ideal for hairdressers with busy schedules. These digital learning options cover everything from technical skills to business strategies.
Keep your mind youthful and sharp. You’re already well on your way – you’re reading this, after all, to stay on top of your game. Remember: age is a mindset, not a number. Have you grown old?
