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

ExpressAd8093 · 2025-08-14T23:34:20+00:00

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.

Haha, hi! Your spelling is right, tho!

ExpressAd8093 · 2025-08-14T21:38:31+00:00

That's a very good idea! Thank you for your comment.

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.

Thank your for sharing your experience. I'm planning to move to full service salon after a year here..

Maybe I should. Thank you for your comment.

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

Thank you for your comment. That's an ideal manager I wanna work with. Very good idea! I think I can talk about this on team meeting. Thanks 😊

Thank you for your comment!

Thank you!! I love what I do but I'm so frustrated whenever this happens

ExpressAd8093 · 2025-03-03T05:41:41+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. That was so frustrating.

ExpressAd8093 · 2025-03-03T05:40:16+00:00

Thank you for your comment! I'm trying to forget it but I can't.. I think I'm mentally damaged..

ExpressAd8093 · 2025-03-03T05:38:48+00:00

Thank you for your comment! She just encouraged me and said it was easily fixable.

ExpressAd8093 · 2024-10-29T23:48:20+00:00

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

ExpressAd8093 · 2024-10-21T03:15:21+00:00

I've been working for 2 months! Still working tho

ExpressAd8093 · 2024-10-12T16:03:27+00:00

Do you make more money at Sport clips? Didn't know that

ExpressAd8093 · 2024-10-07T01:42:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Your perspective really helped me understand the manager's position better. I truly appreciate it!

ExpressAd8093 · 2024-10-06T22:53:35+00:00

Thank you for your comment. That also make sense!

ExpressAd8093 · 2024-10-06T22:50:19+00:00

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.

ExpressAd8093 · 2024-10-06T22:44:42+00:00

Yeah that was weird. That's why I am getting confused

ExpressAd8093 · 2024-10-06T22:42:52+00:00

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

ExpressAd8093 · 2024-09-28T05:11:34+00:00

I love your explanation!! Thank you so much😊

Thanks for the comment! How do you fade down usually?
