Is Hairdressing an Art?

Hairdressers create. They create a look .  A look that’s been described to them by you. To be able to visualize something  and create it is art.

You’re putting trust in the ability of another to create something that you want. If this wasn’t important you would cut your own hair or get a friend to cut it for you and hope for the best!

Braids, French rolls, plaits, layers, perms, highlights, colours, blow waves, straightening,  bowl cuts and mullets! These are all creations, even the ones we'd rather forget.

Is it more than just a learned technique that’s required to be a hairdresser? I always thought it was.  It’s something that I’ve been wondering recently as it seems to be getting harder and harder to get the right style.

Who else but some creative soul could have produced this beautiful style?

Even this style required an artistic vision!
