5. Ways of addressing the patron  Greet the patron politely, pleasantly and courteously.  Attend to him/her promptly and helpfully.  Find time to acknowledge the arrival of another client and assure him/her that he/she will soon be attended to. Every hairdressing business has to have patrons. The patron’s satisfaction is the salon’s main business. Realizing this is the key to your success.

6. How to assess the patron’s hair cutting needs?  Discuss with the patron what she wants and expects.  Communicate with the patron by listening to what she tells you and understanding what she requires you to do.  Examine your patron’s hair to determine its type, texture, color, length, condition and any other important factors that may affect the services requested.  Tell your patron the limitations. Persuade her to cut the hair to a style you are sure would suit her.  Show hair catalogues or magazines to help and guide the patron in deciding on the style she would choose.

7. Reminder:  Never attempt to carry out any haircutting service without the patron’s consent  All information regarding patrons should be handled in strict confidence.  Make sure all the patron’s clothes are covered and all materials are secured.

8. The quality and quantity of hair:  Shiny, healthy hair is essential for good styling. Hair that is in poor condition and poorly textured never looks good and will not style well.  Thin hair is difficult to manage and requires attention. Hair styles which make it appear thicker and fuller are usually best.  Very curly hair requires frequent combing. As it is combed the true length becomes apparent.  Straight hair, particularly if it is fine textured can be difficult to cut.  Very fine, thin hair when wet loses its shape. Use setting aids, so hair thicken and practice styles.

9. Hair position, proportion and form  The outline formed by hair in relation to facial shape contributes to the overall effect.  Consider the direction and distributions of the hair – its cowlicks, widow’s peaks, hair streams, hair whorls and double crowns. Make allowances for these when cutting particularly when designing the style.  It is important that you maintain balance between hair and face to achieve a suitable distribution and shape.  The way the hair falls or moves is best seen when the hair is wet. Styling can disguise the form of the hair and its natural position.  A hairstyle that follows the natural fall and growth retain its shape longer.  Cutting nape whorl too short produces difficulties; the hair may stick out in all directions.

10. Fine Hair Fine hair like silk is delicate and responds to products more quickly than other textures. It hangs flat and lies close to the head, looking thin despite the thickness. Try shorter and blunt cuts to add fullness. Layers can make thin hair look thinner; you may use gel to add volume at the roots. *   If you can't feel the strand, you may have fine hair .
