Creativity. Barbers, hairdressers, and
cosmetologists must keep up with the latest trends and be able to try new
hairstyles for their clients.
Customer-service skills. To help retain clients,
barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists must be pleasant, friendly, and able
to interact with customers.
Listening skills. Barbers, hairdressers, and
cosmetologists should be good listeners. They must listen carefully to what the
client wants to make sure the client is happy with the result.
Stamina. Barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists
must be able to stand on their feet for long periods of time.
Time-management skills. Time management skills are
important when scheduling appointments and providing services. For example,
routine haircuts and trims do not require the precise timing of some other
services, such as applying neutralizer after a permanent wave. Clients who
receive timely hair care service are more likely to return.
In addition, barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists must keep a neat
personal appearance and must keep their work area clean and sanitary. This is
necessary for the health and safety of their clients, as well as to make clients
comfortable enough to want to return.
