Listening to clients speak about what they want &#8211; and actually\u00a0<em>hearing\u00a0<\/em>them &#8211; is a huge part of both jobs.\n\nFor example, a client&#8217;s lifestyle could determine how they would want their hair to look. Some prefer a no-fuss bob if they\u2019re working outside. You might even find yourself in the opposite situation, such as trying to dissuade a corporate lawyer from getting rainbow tresses!\n\nBut hair professionals also study up on facial features and hair type as well.

This is because, while both hair professionals possess some of the same skills and knowledge, they ultimately <em>don\u2019t<\/em> do the same job.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Duties<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>Hairdressers:<\/strong> You\u2019ll learn about cutting hair, chemical treatments, and most permanent hair extensions. After processing and cutting hair, you can then continue to style the hair. (Alternately, a hair stylist could work on the hair as well.)\n\n<strong>Hairstylists:<\/strong> You\u2019ll learn heat styling to create curls, volume, and waves. Furthermore, you\u2019ll also learn to <em>combine<\/em> techniques and create special-occasion up-dos, period looks, and styles for the red carpet.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Professional Training<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]When deciding the career that\u2019s right for you, you need to consider the training requirements for each. The type of qualifications required is another difference between hairdressing and hair styling.\n\nHairdressing may require a cosmetology license in your country or state. That\u2019s because you exact \u201cpermanent\u201d changes for a client\u2019s hair structure. Going beyond conditioning treatments, you\u2019ll also learn to cut, perm, and dye hair.\n\nThe last two procedures are chemical treatments. Hairdressers need to have specialized training and work with specialized equipment in order to perform these procedures. Importantly, this is something that hairstylists<em> aren\u2019t<\/em> licensed to do.\n\nIf cutting and coloring hair doesn\u2019t exactly interest you, hair styling is the better career path for your goals. Temporary hair styling for special events falls into this category.\n\nNow, it&#8217;s worth pointing out that hair styling is not actually regulated in many places, since harsh chemicals are not used in styling and the hair isn\u2019t cut. For example, if a client wants a bob, a hairdresser would cut a bob for them &#8211; whereas a hair stylist would create the <em>illusion<\/em> of a bob using styling techniques.\n\nAs such, many aspiring hair stylists inaccurately think that they don&#8217;t need any formal training to start working in this field. But they couldn&#8217;t be more wrong! Like with any beauty profession, if you truly want to be the best and gain the trust of your clients, you&#8217;re going to\u00a0<em>need\u00a0<\/em>to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allure.com\/story\/should-hairstylist-training-all-hair-textures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get professional hair styling training<\/a>.\n\nOtherwise, you&#8217;ll be setting yourself up at a major disadvantage and will find it difficult to land bookings.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;50181&#8243; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Where You Can Work<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Hairdressers mostly work in salons and spas. While many choose to do freelance on the side, they mostly focus on styling<em> outside<\/em> of the salon environment. This is because their equipment (such as scissors, dye, bleach, and other chemical products) are stocked by the salon itself. The breadth of their services can only be performed with a wide range of products as well\u2014and they\u2019re not often portable!\n\nOn the other hand, many hair stylists work mobile at events, for example. Their kit is much more on-the-go-ready. Additionally, hair styling <a href=\"\/2020\/01\/4-reasons-why-you-shouldnt-add-hair-styling-to-your-makeup-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">goes hand-in-hand with makeup artistry<\/a>!

Many differences exist between these careers, but they both require serious technical skill and creativity.\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to break into the industry ASAP, a career in hair styling might be your best bet. Hairdressing requires a cosmetology license. This often means you\u2019ll study for 1-2 years at a cosmetology school <em>before <\/em>getting to book your first client.\n\n(Not to mention, cosmetology schools goes deeper into other beauty practices you might not have any interest in &#8211; such as makeup, skincare, and nail care.)\n\nAs a hairdresser, you\u2019ll work with clients to find a balance of what they want and what may look best for them. It takes lots of hard work and study to complete all the different treatments for your clients. If you\u2019re detail-oriented and want to help clients look their best longer-term, becoming a hairdresser would be a great career choice for you!\n\nBut don&#8217;t get us wrong &#8211; hair styling has its challenges, too! You\u2019ll need plenty of creativity in order to style hair you won\u2019t be fundamentally altering. Therefore, you\u2019re not only working with what&#8217;ll look best on them; you also have to consider what will work with their current haircut!\n\nAs a hair stylist, you&#8217;ll be offered many <a href=\"\/2017\/07\/5-unique-careers-professional-hairstylists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unique career possibilities<\/a>.
