What Does a Hairstylist Do?

When people think of hairstylists, they may only think of a hairdresser trimming hair at a salon. However, the profession involves much more than just cutting hair. Some of the duties you may take on each day are:

  • Cutting, trimming, and styling hair
  • Coloring hair
  • Shampooing hair
  • Removing unwanted hair
  • Massaging and treating the scalp
  • Dressing wigs
  • Answering questions about products
  • Engaging with customers
  • Selling products
  • Sanitizing your station and tools

Where You’ll Work

Graduating from hairstyling school allows you to pursue different career paths. Many hairstylists take on positions in salons or spas, allowing them to see the same clients frequently and build relationships. You can also find work at hotels and resorts, providing services for travelers and vacation-goers.

Some careers you can consider are:

  • Salon stylist
  • Salon owner or manager
  • Fashion show stylist
  • Color specialist
  • Hair designer
  • Beauty influencer or writer
  • Film or TV set stylist
  • Beauty school instructor

After you’ve built up a list of clients, you can rent a chair in a salon or even start your own shop. Many hairstylists offer mobile services, meeting clients at their homes or chosen venues.

Even more enticing than the profession’s versatility is its projected growth. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of hairstylists and other cosmetology positions is expected to grow 8% through 2032. This is a massive increase, meaning graduates can expect many job openings when they’re ready to enter the field.

At Inspire Greatness Aveda Institutes, our programs offer practical lessons with a mix of hands-on training and textbook learning. You’ll learn the theory and techniques you need to excel in the industry. Our experienced instructors can help you in the classroom and our student salon, so you’ll get the best of both worlds. You’ll get to use up-to-date tools and technology and gain experience with Aveda’s high-end vegan products. We even provide virtual courses to provide the flexibility today’s busy students require.

Our hairstyling curriculum includes plenty of important materials and instructions to help you learn what matters most. You’ll learn the following:

  • Natural hair styling and setting techniques
  • Haircutting and barbering techniques
  • Hair coloring applications
  • Hair extension techniques
  • Permanent wave applications
  • Effectively working on all hair textures from 2A to 4C
  • Thermal styling and event styling techniques
  • Well-being and self-care

Our hairstyling program also prepares you for the business side of your career, with courses covering social media and marketing, business building, and career and financial planning.

You’ll learn how to provide services for women and men, which is important as the men’s grooming industry continues to rise in popularity. Our Denver and Provo programs include 1,200 hours of instruction, while our Arizona-based programs include 1,000 hours. Most students can complete the entire program in less than a year.

Aside from our skilled and knowledgeable instructors and our thoroughly developed curriculum, the hairstyling schools at Inspire Greatness Aveda Institutes provide one-of-a-kind opportunities to help students get the most out of their education. We allow students the option to study abroad, letting them hone their skills in places like Japan, Germany, and Spain. We also give students the chance to partake in Fashion Week events in New York and London, creating an unforgettable experience. You can even work with a photographer through our North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) experience.
