Commission is something that hairdressers may earn on top of their wages. It is usually performance-related and is individual to each salon. You may earn commission on the amount of products you sell each week, and a proportion of the income from the number of clients you have.

Looking after yourself

As a hairdresser or barber your hands are essential tools for the job. Hairdressers are at risk of contracting dermatitis. Remember, always wear gloves when applying or removing chemicals.

Further guidance can be found on skin care and glove use at: http://hse.gov.uk/skin/information.htm
Page 16

Why is it important to look after your hands?

Your hands are an essential tool and can become dry, sore, and inflamed because they are frequently in contact with water, shampoo and chemicals.

How can I avoid getting sore hands?

Ensure that you rinse and dry your hands properly after each shampoo. Use barrier cream and moisturise them regularly.

My feet are killing me

Hairdressing involves a lot of time standing. It is important to wear a comfortable, full shoe to help prevent aching legs, sore feet and avoid any risk of injury from sharp tools such as se shoes a T he re scissors. Open-toed shoes are not recommended; hair clippings can get under the skin and cause irritation or infection.

My back is aching
rect postu Hairdressers have to be on their feet a great C or re deal. Always try to adopt a good posture. Poor posture can lead to muscle fatigue. Through bad posture, there is also a risk of long-term problems to the neck, shoulders and back. To help avoid this happening, stand with your legs straight and feet slightly apart to maintain even balance of your weight.

How can I keep up to date with new trends and techniques in hairdressing?
Exhibitions are an invaluable source of inspiration, information and education. The industries best products and equipment are displayed, often alongside creative and educational demonstrations.

Trevor Sorbie The Bridal Hair Book

The book contains 15 bridal looks and illustrates them in six stepby step photographic sequences. The key theme of the book is modern weddings: not all girls get married in white or have long hair or are European - yet almost all bridal features in magazines and existing books (including ours) feature white girls in traditional white. This book will feature short hair as well as long, black, white and Asian women and a range of styles from a new version of a traditional long hair up, through to short hair, hair extensions, dreadlocks/twiglets, and wefts. It will look edgy and modern, but will be about commercial hair, looks you can sell in salon. All the looks are cross-referenced to a glossary of accessory items.
