Listening Skills:

It can be intimidating and scary changing your hair, so when guests feel valued and heard they will be much more comfortable and confident during their appointment. They may show pictures, videos or just explain what they want to be done, and it is your job to listen and be on the same page as them. Many clients also use their appointment as a time to talk about their problems so being understanding and a great listener is a must-have. 

Communication Skills:

Beyond listening to clients, hairdressers need to have excellent communication with the rest of the salon employees. Everyone needs to work together to answer phone calls, clean workstations, and greet incoming clients. Communicating effectively helps the entire salon run smoothly and is one of the most crucial hairstylist skills. Meanwhile, developing strong client relationships is a big part of achieving success as well. If you choose to be a stylist, much of your day will be talking with new people from behind the chair. Individuals that enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories can thrive in this industry!

Adaptability:

Another one of the most necessary hairstylist skills is adaptability. Hairdressers need to adapt their haircutting skills to match the fashion trends of the week, month and year. New trends in the industry can include new popular styles every year plus updates to the tools and techniques hairdressers need to comprehend.
