Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify the requirements of the client;
2. Examine the hair and scalp condition; and
3. Advice the patron to remove hair accessories and jewelry prior to
hair services.
Introduction
The lesson deals with interpersonal and intrapersonal skills with the
patron; analysis of scalp and hair condition; and tools and equipment are
prepared in accordance with salon policies. This will also include measure
for the security and safety of client and operator before treatment.
PREPARING EQUIPMENT, TOOLS, SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS

Use only good quality tools to avoid damaging the hair and apply them
gently and correctly.
1. Patron’s care is essential to your success as a hairdresser.
2. Patron’s care is looking after his/her and making sure that she is
comfortable, satisfied with the service and safely attended.
3. An initial consultation is essential for an effective patron’s care.
4. Patrons expect that salon is hygienically maintained.
5. Hair and scalp must be analyzed before giving a treatment.
6. Equipment and tools should be selected and prepared accordingly.
A heat cap or steam cap - is a hooded cap that

allows the user to trap steam or heat into the hair
when it is wet. A heat cap is actually a device that
can be connected to a power outlet and gives out
heat to the hair. This works similar to the dome hair
dryers that are used at a salon. The device heats up
similar to a heating pad and provides heat directly to
the air. Though originally used to
Figure 1. Heat cap

Hairdressing NC II

condition hair, it is nowusedmore commonly for protein or other treatments.
If using the device to condition the hair, the user must have washed and
conditioned hair, after which dry conditioner is applied to the air. The heat
from the heat cap adds heat to the hair to open up pores and allow the
conditioner to condition the hair.The user must then rinse hair with cold
water to seal the pores again.
Towel - dried

one type of barrette, a clasp is used to secure the barrette in
place; the clasp opens when the two metal pieces at either side
are pressed together.
Figure 4. Hair clamps
Measuring Cup - is a tool used to assist you in ensuring

you have the right quantity of something.
Figure 5.
Measuring Cup
Spatula - an implement with a broad, flat, blunt

blade, used for mixing and spreading things.
Figure 6. Spatula
Headband - is a clothing accessory worn in the hair or around the
forehead, usually to hold hair away from the face or eyes. Headbands
generally consist of a loop of elastic material or a horseshoe-shaped piece of
flexible plastic or metal. They come in assorted shapes and sizes and are
used for both fashion and practical or utilitarian purposes.
Figure 7. Headband
Capes- are commonly used by hair and beauty salons for the purpose
of hair styling services, in which usage they protect clothing from loose
strands of hair being cut from the head and/or from the chemicals often
used in such styling.
Figure 8. Cape

Hairdressing NC II

Hair Dryer - is an electromechanical device
designed to blow normal or hot air over damp hair to
accelerate the evaporationof water particles and dry
the hair. Blow dryers allow better control over the
shape and style of hair, by accelerating and
controlling the formation of temporary hydrogen
bonds inside each strand. These hydrogen bonds are powerful (allowing for
stronger hair shaping than the sulfur bonds formed
by permanent waving products)but are temporary and
extremely vulnerable to humidity. They disappear with

PATRON’S CARE
Patron’s care is essential to your success as a hairdresser. It is an
important part of all that you do for the patron in the salon. It
involves concern for your patron, and genuinely wanting to
meet all his/her needs satisfactorily.
Patron’s care means looking after his/her safety and
making sure that he/she is comfortable, satisfied with the
service and safely attended. This begins when the
client/patron enters the salon and continues until he/she leaves.
For patron’s care to be fully attended to, an initial
consultation is essential. This applies to both new and regular
patrons.
Consultation

Hairdressing NC II

A consultation is a meeting at which advice is given and taken,
consists of talking to the patron, listening to her so that you can consider
her needs and jointly negotiating a suitable course of action. You will be
expected to exchange views with her, and to discuss with her just what is to
be done with her hair.
Patrons expect the salon to be clean. They expect that good hygiene is
maintained.
Figure 21. Client’s consultation

There are various kinds of hair and scalp treatment:
Hair Spa – a component of hair and scalp treatment that contains
curative mineral /spring water that relaxes hair, making it relieved from any
form of hair tension
Hair Reborn – a hair treatment given to maintain its healthy condition
that brings hair back to its normal desired condition
Hot Oil Treatment – a hair treatment is given to patron who suffers
dry and brittle hair to prevent the occurrence of split ends. Ask the patron
which hair and scalp treatment he/she prefers, as this may need different
kinds of materials and treatment products to be used.
Ways to keep the salon Hygienically Clean:
1. Use only clean towels and gowns for each patron.
2. Wash combs and brushes before
sterilizing or disinfecting them.
3. Use 70% alcohol for cleaning tools.
4. Keep floors and surfaces clear, tidy
and clean.
5. Maintain good personal and general
hygiene.
6. Wash your hands regularly.
TIPS:

CONDITIONING PROCEDURE
1. Identify the proper use of materials, tools and equipment.
2. Maintain effective and safe methods of working when treating the
hair and scalp.
3. Treat the hair and scalp.
Introduction
Having the hair shampooed and conditioned is often the client’s
first impression of the professionalism of the salon, therefore, the
process needs to be both relaxing and therapeutic. It is important
to choose the correct shampoo and conditioner which are suitable
for the hair and scalp type that you have identified during the
consultation. The incorrect choice may negatively affect subsequent
services.
The action of shampooing cleanses the hair by removing dirt, grease,

skin scale, sweat and product build-up, leaving the hair ready for blow-
drying, setting or chemical services. Conditioning treatments are
applied to smooth the cuticle layer, provide protection for the hair,
improve handling and combing, make the hair look healthier and help
the hair to resist external elements
Penetrating Conditioner
STEP 1
Thoroughly shampoo and detangle your

client’s hair prior to conditioning. Remove any
excess water to assist the conditioning process.
Before carrying out the conditioning

treatment, ensure that you are wearing the
correct protective clothing.

Hairdressing NC II

Step 1. Shampoo and detangle hair
Hair can get dried out and damaged from the use of heat styling
tools, dyes, chemical straighteners and exposure to the sun. Hair’s
moisture and body can be restored with a high quality deep
conditioning treatment. A deep conditioning treatment can leave the
hair moist and shiny.
STEP 2
To ease the application of the

conditioning treatment, separate the hair
into four sections.
Apply the conditioning treatment

with a brush to each section. Mesh within
each section, ensuring that you look out
for any piercings that could get caught.
Continue to apply the conditioning
treatment until the client’s hair has full
coverage, massage using petrissage.
Step 2. Apply treatment product
STEP 3
You can put the hair under a CLIMAZONE

or hooded dryer to heat for ten minutes (follow
manufacturer’s instructions) or cover with a
plastic cap for processing.
Let the hair cool and take the client back to

the basin.
Step 3. Cover with plastic cap

Hairdressing NC II

STEP 4
When the hair is ready for rinsing,

turn the water back on, check
temperature on your wrist – then rinse the
hair starting at the front hairline, cupping
the hand to direct the water towards the
wash basin as you wet the hair, so that you don’t wet the client’s
face. Remember to check the temperature
with client.
Step 4. Rinse
Massage using petrissage techniques. Next,

use the Effleurage technique. ‘Effleurage’
movements are slow, smoothing, stroking massage
movements done with the palms of the hands to detangle the hair when
rinsing is complete.
Step 4.1. Massage
STEP 5
Turn off the water and gently squeeze hair to

remove excess water.
Wrap a towel around the hair to stop any drips from

the hair entering the eyes or face.

Hairdressing NC II

Step 5. Wrap a towel
TYPES OF CONDITIONER AVAILABLE
Surface conditioners– these conditioners do not enter the hair but

remain on the cuticle surface. Their main purpose is to coat and protect
the hair and improve the look and feel by adding shine and moisture.
Penetrating conditioners – these have deeper-acting benefits.

They enter the hair shaft through the cuticle layer and are deposited into
the cortex by capillary action. They are designed to temporarily repair the
physical structure of the fibres within the cortex and damaged areas
within the cuticle layers.
Scalp treatments – these conditioners are designed to remedy a

variety of skin problems. These scalp-active treatments are chemical
preparations that are developed to target specific disorders.
Leave-in conditioners – these do not need to be rinsed out of the

hair. These contain moisturizers that help lock in and attract moisture to
the hair. Once the hair is dry, these will cause the style to collapse.

ERGONOMICS ON HAIRDRESSING
1. identify the ergonomics on hairdressing;
2. observe correct posture on working; and
3. apply the proper position of the body and equipment used.
Introduction
Hairdressers suffer a huge amount of work related injuries.
Nearly every part of the body is put at risk of injury from this job.
Ergonomics on Hairdressing
Standing on a hard concrete floor for long periods puts undue
stress through your feet, knees, and back. Lower body problems run
from achy joints to varicose veins. To counteract this use a rubber anti-
fatigue mat to add some needed cushion and when able sit for breaks.
Saddle chair stools are a good way to do this as well. These chairs will
decrease stress to your legs and back while still allowing you to move
nimbly. You are more balanced and it is easier to stand frequently from
a saddle seat compared to a standard stool. While standing vary your
position. Most of us favor one leg and bear the majority of the weight
through one side. This is risky for your body. Using supportive shoes
also helps. These should lace up, have non-slip soles, and provide some
cushion. If you are having feet problems talk to your health care
provider about whether custom orthotics or off the shelf insoles would
help.

Hairdressing NC II

Image 1. Varying position while standing.
The Adjust-a-Sink allows you to bring the sink higher eliminating
strain on shoulders, neck, and back.
Bending over to shampoo is a typical cause of low back pain.
Spread your feet apart and bend at the knees while keeping your back
straight. Another option is to put one foot forward of the other shoulder
width apart and bend at the hips and knees, again keeping the back
straight. The closer you stand to the client the less you have to bend
over. The best solution is to eliminate the bending over altogether.
The Adjust-a-Sinkallows you to adjust the sink to a better height for
you and your client. If there is a shampoo person in the salon utilize
them to help as well.
Image 2.The hairdresser uses an adjust-a-sink.
When cutting hair be sure to adjust the chair height so you are
not bending over. Keeping your arms elevated in front of you for long
periods creates problems in the neck, arms, and back. Your body is not
designed to maintain these static postures for long periods. The
resulting muscle strain, knots in the muscles, and pinched nerves
cause pain, numbness, tingling, and heaviness in the arms. Keep your
elbows close to your sides as much as possible. Stretch your neck,
arms, and back between clients. Keeping yourself limber and strong is a
necessity. Establish and maintain a regular stretching and
strengthening program. Print out our stretching sheet to learn some
basic stretches.

Hairdressing NC II

Image 3. Adjusting the chair’s height so you’re not bending over.
Be more aware of your body positions. Use the mirror to watch

yourself and see unnecessary neck bending forward or to the sides.
Keep your ears over your shoulders. Look with your eyes not your neck.
Tendonitis of the thumb or forearm muscles is common. One way
to deal with this is to use proper scissors. Keep the blades sharp to
minimize the force needed, while this may seem a small detail consider
the millions of cuts you make! Trying to keep the wrists relatively
straight and avoid awkward positions that bend your wrists up or down
excessively is the most important consideration. Swivel-thumb scissors
allow you to minimize awkward strenuous positioning of the wrist and
thumb. Also, become aware of the tension in your forearms. Work with
the arms as relaxed as possible.
Image 4. Proper gripping on dryer to keep wrists straight.
Work related stress and working over 15 years have been shown
to be related to increased injuries. So the longer you work the more

Hairdressing NC II

important proper ergonomics becomes. If you are new to the field it is
important to address these risk factors preventatively before you get
injured!

FIRST AID ON HAIR SALON
1. identify the top hazards in the salon;
2. discuss each hazards in the salon; and
3. apply the proper use of first aid.
Introduction
Cuts, burns, falls, and chemical spills can wreak havoc on you
your staff and clients. Protect yourself as best as possible. So what are
the main types of emergencies that can occur at hair salons?
HERE ARE THE TOP 5 HAZARDS AT THE SALON:

1.) CUTS
2.) THERMAL BURNS
3.) ELECTRICAL BURNS
4.) FALLS
5.) CHEMICAL SPILLS / INHALATION
Cuts – Stylists use razor sharp scissors and

cuts are a possibility. Did the stylist take a little
too much off around the ear and make you look
like Van Gogh? Better pack some gauze in that
first aid kit.
F
Figure 1. Cut

Hairdressing NC II

Thermal burns –
With
straightening irons,
curling irons, and ovens at
cosmetology schools,
thermal burns are very
likely. Cool water works
best on burns – stay away
from ointments, butter, etc.
Figure 2. Thermal Burns
Electrical burns –Too many appliances plugged into power strips

can cause fires. Curling iron, straightening iron, and a hair dryer? All
of these draw serious amperage and can overload electrical
cords. Remember to keep them away from the water as well to prevent
electrocution. Make sure your staff knows how to shut of the power at
your circuit panel as well. Figure 3.
Electrical burns

Hairdressing NC II

Falls – The broom is your friend! Keeping hair swept up will
prevent falls, ankle sprains, and broken wrists. The last thing you need
is a little old lady
taking a header
in the salon
and having
the fire
department show up.
Figure 4. Falls
Chemical Spills and Inhalation – 99% of all salons are well

ventilated and it is important to keep chemicals separate. Bleach and
ammonia are poisonous when mixed
together. Each salon should have an MSDS
(Material Safety and Data Sheets) that lists
all of the chemicals used in the salon and
their chemical properties to be OSHA
compliant.
