ASSESS PATRON’S NEEDS

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

This lesson deals with the assessment of the patron’s hair cutting needs,
the appropriate reception to be extended, the analysis of the hair condition,
texture, density and length, and the proper protective clothing materials to be
used.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

2. Extend courtesy to the patron.
3. Analyze the condition of the hair.
4. Know basic styles of hair cut for women; and

LET US STUDY

Definition of terms:

hair stream – the natural direction in which the hair grows after leaving the follicle

hair catalogue – a special type of magazine, photo collection of various haircuts and hair styles.

Whorl– a spiral turn of hair which goes contrary to the usual growth of the hair

Consultation – a meeting between the client and the hairdresser at which advice is given
and taken.
 Before you touch your client’s hair, she has to be received into the salon.
Reception is the point at which she begins her business relationship with you.

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.

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.

After assessing your patron’s hair cutting needs, you may take the
initiative in guiding the client to a decision. Make sure that the patron
understands, accepts and agrees with you on the decided haircut style.

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.

In selecting the proper hairstyle, the hairdressers should take into

consideration the condition of the patron’s hair
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.

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.

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.

Coarse hair

Coarse hair is like linen, each strand is strong and thick. It appears wiry
in humid conditions and looks dull even after washing.
BASIC STYLES OF HAIRCUT FOR WOMEN
Health and Safety Precautions

 Analyze the hair scalp thoroughly; signs of disease indicates that you
should not proceed with cutting of the hair.
 Make sure that all sharp tools are covered when they are not in use.
 Allowing loose cut hair gathered is unsanitary.
 Use only tools that are sharp, to prevent hair breakage.
  Clean tools after use and store them in a dry safe place.
 Do not place sharp tools in your pockets for this is dangerous, You might
cut your hands.

Let us Remember

 Examine your patron’s hair to determine its type, texture and condition
and other factors that may affect the services requested.
 Thin hair is difficult to manage and it requires careful attention.
 Clean tools after use and store them in a safe place.

 When using a hair dryer, keep it on a medium or low setting. Hold it 6-8
inches away from the scalp
 As you dry the hair with a blow dryer, use a round brush to guide the
hair in the way you want it to go.
 For a really full effect, tip the head forward and dry the underneath hair
first, then straight up and dry the outer part.
 When using curling iron or hot rollers, make sure they’re heated before
use. The hair will curl faster.
  For blunt styles, roll the brush under as you dry the hair for a smooth
look.
 If you want the hair to flip up at the ends, use the brush to roll the hair
with an upward and outward motion

Tip the head forward and blow dry the underneath layers of hair to add
fullness to the hair.

The round brush and the blow dryer are used to roll hair for a loose
feathery look.

LET US STUDY

Definition of Terms

Antiseptic a chemical agent that prevents the growth of bacteria

Disinfectant an agent used for destroying germs

Fumigate disinfect by the action of fumes

Autoclave an apparatus for sterilizing using super heated high pressur

steam

Sterilization the total destruction of all living microorganism.

Sanitation I the destruction of some, but not all microorganisms.

Sterilization and sanitation techniques practiced in beauty salon involve

the use of agents such as radiation and heat, and chemical agents, such as
antiseptics, disinfectants and vapor fumigants.

Dry and moist heat may both be used in sterilization.

 Glass – bead sterilizer is a small electrically-heated unit which contains
glass beads; these transfer heat to objects placed in contact with them. This
method is suitable for small tools such as tweezers and scissors.

Autoclaving is the most effective method for sterilizing objects in the

salon. Water is boiled in an auto clave (similar to a pressure cooker), the water
reaches a temperature of 121 – 134 ◦c.

If an object cannot be sterilized, it should be placed in a chemical

disinfectant solution such as quaternary ammonium compounds or
glutaraldehyde.

An antiseptic prevents the multiplication of microorganisms. It is milder

than a disinfectant and it does not kill all micro-organism.
Sterilization Techniques

 Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on the use of sterilizing unit.

 Select the appropriate method of sterilization for the object.
 Clean the object in clean water and detergent to remove dirt and grease.
Dirt left on the object may prevent effective sterilization.
 Dry it thoroughly with a clean, disposable paper towel.
 Place tools that have been sterilized in a clean covered container.

Disposal of waste

Waste should be disposed in an enclosed waste bin, durable enough to

resist tearing. The bin should be regularly sanitized with disinfectant in a well-
ventilated area.

Contaminated waste should be disposed of as recommended by local

authority.

Used razor blades and similar items should be placed into a safe
container. When the container is full, it can be discarded.

Washing surfaces

All surfaces within the salon should be washed at least once each day.
They can be cleansed with hot water and detergent. Don’t use abrasives as
these will scratch plastic surfaces.

Glass mirrors should be cleaned every morning before clients arrive.

Glass surfaces should be cleaned and polished using either hot water or
detergent or a spirit based lotion that evaporates quickly.
LET US REMEMBER

 Always follow the manufacturer’s guideline on the use of the sterilizing

unit.
 Place tools that have been sterilized in a clean covered container.
 Dispose waste in an enclosed waste bin.

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LEARNED?

Answer the following questions:

1. What would happen if you did not follow expected standards regarding
health and safety in the salon?

2. Why is it important to sterilize tools?

3. What are some ways of disposing waste?
