Hair stylists and/or make-up artists apply the skills and knowledge described in this unit. They use a range of cutting, temporary colouring, setting and dressing methods to produce current and period hairstyles for performers.
Good communication skills are essential, since hair stylists need to create a work environment where performers feel at ease.
Depending on the nature of the job, a hair stylist can work alone, as an assistant to a more senior colleague or as part of a make-up/hair design team. Employment is usually on a contract basis and make-up skills are often required.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to provide a range of current and period hair styles for productions in the film, television and live entertainment industries.
The unit is broadly based on but not equivalent to WRH12A Dress (style) hair from the Hairdressing Training Package and reflects a level of skills appropriate to entertainment and media contexts.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
