Unit of competency
Modification History
Not applicable.
Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop 2-D visual representations and plans for solid form, graduated and increased and uniform layered haircut structures. This enables hairdressers to visualise the components of finished haircut structures as aids to planning and completing haircuts.
This unit applies to hairdressers and barbers with well-developed skills who work in hairdressing salons or barber shops. They use discretion and judgement to manage the client service and take responsibility for the outcomes of their own work.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
|
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes.
|
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
|
|
1. Draw outline shapes.
|
1.1.Analyse the structural components of the desired haircut.
1.2.Produce a simple line drawing showing straight and curved design lines and direction of lines for the finished haircut.
|
|
2. Create haircut plans.
|
2.1.Identify and illustrate starting point, sectioning and parting pattern for each component of the haircut structure.
2.2.Record degree of angle of lift and distribution of hair for the haircut structure.
2.3.Illustrate a structural graphic for the planned haircut by drawing lines at 90 degrees to the curve of the head.
2.4.Develop a finished haircut plan in structural graphic form that shows soft and hard interior and exterior lines, starting point of haircut, sectioning and parting patterns, angles of lift, distribution of hair.

- template 2-D structural graphic haircut plans.
Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisation’s requirements for assessors; and:
- hold a Certificate III in Hairdressing, or a Certificate III in Barbering, or a Certificate IV in Hairdressing, or be able to demonstrate equivalence of competencies; and
- have at least three years full time employment experience as a hairdresser in a salon environment where they have applied the skills and knowledge covered in this unit of competency to assess this unit as part of a hairdressing qualification; this cannot include any indentured traineeship or apprenticeship period; or
- have at least three years full time employment experience as a barber in a shop or salon environment where they have applied the skills and knowledge covered in this unit of competency to assess this unit as part of a barbering qualification ; this cannot include any indentured traineeship or apprenticeship period.
