In the hairdressing trade, salon managers care most about your practical skills, your consultation ability and your experience with different techniques. Highlight the services you confidently master – such as cutting, colouring, highlights, updos or men's cuts – and whether you are also strong in client advice and the sale of care products.

Personality and reliability are particularly important in this profession. Show that you build a loyal client base, present yourself in a friendly and stylish way and keep up with current trends. Further training, competitions or a specialism (e.g. colouring) add extra value to your CV.

Frequently asked questions

What belongs in a hairdresser's CV?

Your training, the salons and areas you have worked in, the techniques you have mastered and your experience in advice and sales. Further training and a loyal client base are a plus.

Should I state a specialism?

Yes. If you specialise in colouring, updos or barbering, you should state it clearly – it sets you apart from other applicants.

Is a CV photo a good idea?

In the hairdressing trade, a well-groomed, friendly photo is quite common and underlines your sense of style and presentation. It is not, however, a requirement.
