The profession of hairdresser requires at least the CAP hairdressing, which is prepared in two years after the third year of secondary school in a vocational school or in an apprentice training centre (CFA) - apprenticeship or professionalization contract. This basic diploma can be completed by a complementary mention (MC) colourist-permanentist or stylist-visagist in order to have the status of qualified worker. At BAC level, there is the BP hairdressing, which can be prepared in one year after the CAP, and the bac pro wigmaker-posticheur, which allows you to work in the film and theatre industry. If you want to open a hairdressing salon, the minimum requirement is a BM hairdresser (Brevet de Maîtrise) which also allows you to teach apprentices. The diploma is prepared in 2 years for those who have a BP in hairdressing or who have 5 years of experience as a hairdresser. There is also the CQP hairdressing salon manager which is accessible after 3 years of experience as a hairdresser.

The hairdresser's job can be carried out in a hairdressing salon, at home or in a beauty salon. The activity usually involves travelling and can vary greatly depending on the location of the service. In a salon, the hairdresser welcomes and installs his or her clients and then discusses with them what they are looking for: haircuts, treatments, colouring, etc. He or she also advises them on hair morphology and implantation, among other things. A hairdressing service generally includes a hair diagnosis, preparations for washing and shampooing. Only then will he proceed with the cut (staking, layering, tapering, etc.), the shaping (curling, rolling, blow-drying, etc.), the styling, the fixing or shining (gel, lacquer, etc.), the colouring/decolouring, etc.

A hairdresser can be used to maintain the hair in the first instance, but usually it is to have beautiful, silky hair that enhances the face. While it is possible to do your own hair at home, nothing beats the touch of a professional who will know which cut is best, but will always take into consideration the wishes of his clients.

To find a hairdresser, word-of-mouth allows you to have opinions from friends and family, but to be sure to have the best craftsman, turning to a directory such as StarOfService remains the best solution. You can easily find a competent one in your region or city; just follow the steps.

In France, the average price for a hairdresser is between €32 and €135. Why such a wide price range? Simply because the professional offers a wide range of services that may involve travel.

Before choosing a hairdresser, the first thing to do is to determine what you want to do: cut, blow-dry, change of colour, treatment... It is according to this that you will choose either a hairdressing salon, an independent or a renowned beauty salon. Alternatively, you can trust your friends and family to find a good hairdresser - most hairdressers rely on word-of-mouth to expand their address book. Online reviews on social networks can also be relevant, as can reviews on hairdresser websites.
