Help with finding websites about hair stylist and such?

For this project, we have to identify a career and list things about it like this.



EX.鈥?The kind of work or tasks people in the career perform

Hairstylists shampoo, cut, shave, perm, straighten, and style hair or hair pieces. They also colour, streak, and bleach hair, add highlights and extensions, and perform various scalp treatments. In addition, they may trim, shave, and style moustaches and beards. Hairstylists who cater mostly to male clients are usually referred to as barbers.

鈥?The tools, instruments, or equipment they use

These items include brushes, combs, curlers, scissors, clippers, razors, hair and scalp treatment products, and hair dryers. Hairstylists must make sure that their tools of the trade are kept clean and sharp.

鈥?Where they work

Salon, self owned place, mall, etc ..

鈥?How much income they earn and factors that affect their income

Hairstylists usually earn between $10,000 and $45,000 a year, depending on whether they work part-time or full-time. The average salary for a full-time hairstylist is about $25,000 a year. As you become more skilled in hairstyling, your salary may rise.

鈥?The education and/or training needed to get into the career

Some High schools offer courses in hairstyling, which are a good idea to take. Certification usually requires a combination of courses at a community college or private institution, plus on-the-job-training. Education varies from province to province, country to country. In some provinces the minimum requirement is grade 10, while others require a high school diploma. Many people complete their on-the-job training as part of a provincial apprenticeship program. These programs vary in length from 2 to 3 years.

鈥?Where to get more information on the career (e.g. helpful websites)



鈥?What real people in the career have to say about it (what they like or dislike about the career, what advice they have for people who want to get into the career, etc.)

Dislike: ';I don鈥檛 like standing all day long. Being on my feet can be really tiring and even painful, sometimes. The hours can be very long and clients can be very demanding. My income is unpredictable. I can have slow weeks and because I work on commission, sometimes I don鈥檛 make .....

Evaluating a career can be a veritable trial, and you desire to be sure that you make the true choice because your career can influence so many areas of your life. A friend of mine during the last couple of weeks had a change of career and he stumbled upon loads of instruction from the website in the box below before making his choice.
