What Does a Hairstylist Do?

Answer:
The primary job responsibilities of a hairstylist

is to cut and style hair. Hairstylists may also provide services such as perms, hair coloring, and hair weaves and extensions.

Hairstylists must have a knowledge of which styles and cuts will flatter particular clients. Clients often come in with pictures of a desired hairstyle, and a hairstylist must make the client happy with his or her style while also keeping in mind that the style may look very different on the client than it does in the magazine.

It is also common for hairstylists to style hair for special occasions, such as weddings and proms. In these cases, the hairstylist is not trying to style the hair in a way that can be recreated by the client at home, but in a more elaborate fashion for one day only.
