A Hairdressing Assistant supports professional hairdressers by preparing workstations, cleaning tools and equipment, and ensuring a hygienic salon environment. They help manage client appointments, greet customers, and sometimes assist with shampooing, rinsing, or basic hair treatments under supervision.
The role often involves restocking supplies, maintaining inventory, and supporting the overall smooth operation of the salon. Strong communication skills and a friendly demeanor are important, as is the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, customer-focused setting. Many Hairdressing Assistants use this position as a stepping stone to pursue further training and become qualified hairdressers.
