Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to research emerging hair design trends and technologies and to experiment with a chosen range. It also requires the ability to evaluate the introduction of commercially viable new services to meet ever-changing consumer demands.
This unit applies to senior hairdressers and barbers who work in salons, or as session stylists, or technical advisors to product companies. They work independently, have considerable specialist skills and knowledge and provide technical leadership, training and support to team members.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
