Overview
Whether they’re forming beehives or braids, dreadlocks or ducktails,
ponytails or pompadours, hairdressers are maestros of styling.
Although
we usually associate them with the technical aspects of their job,
“there’s so much more to what we do than cutting hair,” says Scott J.
Buchanan, president of Scott J. Salons & Spas in New York City and
the 2013-2014 chairman of the Professional Beauty Association. “We also
get to change people’s lives and make them feel good about themselves.”
Hairdressers
are licensed cosmetologists who have been trained in a spectrum of
beauty styling techniques, such as giving manicures, pedicures and skin
treatments, but they concentrate on hair services specifically,
counseling clients on proper hair and skin care and learning to tiptoe
around the Achilles’ heel we all share – vanity. The best stylists
adeptly juggle these tasks, and in the process, earn both our tips and
our trust. And just like many of the professions on this year’s list of
Best Jobs, hairdressing is more than a career. It’s a calling.
Although growth rates vary by specialty, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
projects that employment in this “calling” will grow by 10 percent.
Demand to receive extensions, hair color, straightening and more could
translate to 58,400 new cosmetologist positions by 2024.

Salary
Hairdressers aren’t typically salaried employees. The majority are
self-employed and many work part-time. The BLS reports the median hourly
wage for hairdressers in 2014 was $11.12, which translates to $23,120 a

Training
Most states require hairdressers to have at least a high school diploma
or GED to obtain a cosmetology license. For the license, a hairdresser
has to complete courses with a state-approved barber or cosmetology
school – where programs usually last a minimum of nine months – before
taking a licensing examination. Some states have reciprocity agreements
where licensed stylists who move will not have to complete additional
training to practice in new states. Many cosmetologists take advanced
courses to stay up to date on the latest trends.
