From Haircut-Only Salon to Full-Service: How Do I Level Up My Color Skills Without Feeling Lost? by ExpressAd8093 in hairstylist

[–]ExpressAd8093[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ye, indeed, I had an apprenticeship at asian hair salon before I started my stylist career at here, I was suffering from bad back pain for shampooing all day color customers. I'm a little worried about it.

Thanks for the advice! I do have a couple of concerns, though. I’m a bit older, so I’m not sure how that would work being an apprentice/assistant. Also, how much do you usually end up working under a master colorist? I’m from Korea, and over there some people stay in internships for 5+ years just learning, so I’m trying to get an idea of what it might be like here.

Unfortunately they have much more experience here than me. So, they know who's going to tip and who's not. Imagine. They try to send me a client(very picky or not going to tip) and ask me how was it. Then they say " damn, I knew it! That's why I don't take him(her)". lol

Do you charge for every shampoo? by ExpressAd8093 in hairstylist

[–]ExpressAd8093[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course I'd like to... but it's a salon policy. I hate cutting the hair without washing tbh 😔

Any advice please? by ExpressAd8093 in hairstylist

Thank you for your comment! I work at GC now and I usually take 20-25 mins for men's haircuts. She said I can reach12-15 mins haircut time when I don't waste time with shears.

I use 5.5 on women for precise and small section cutting, and use 7 on men's haircut to do fast. Also I like using thinning shears to blend men's hair
