Building upon the foundational knowledge introduced in HAIR 1010, students delve into advanced hairstylist techniques and master specific tools and techniques for texturizing methods. Topics include scalp and hair health, in-depth client consultations, and specialized services such as chemical application and colour formulation. Students also explore the benefits of aromatherapy and massage techniques for scalp health, learning how essential oils and scalp massage can promote relaxation, stimulate blood circulation, and support hair growth. Emphasis is placed on incorporating these holistic practices within the scope of a professional hairstylist. Additionally, business concepts covering branding, marketing, business plans, financial requirements, rental agreements, insurance, and human resources. A unique aspect of the course is the opportunity for students to observe, learn, and assist in a professional environment of their choice. This work experience provides valuable insights into the general functions, duties, roles, and responsibilities in a real-world setting.
