Guide to Compile a Awesome Hair Stylist Resume

If you are looking for a job as a hair stylist, the first and most important thing is to have a really convincing resume, with a lot of emphasis on your professional background and education. Below there are a few easy steps to write an excellent hair stylist resume. You should know from the beginning that it is not very hard to write a resume, but it surely takes time. If your resume is well-written, the time of finding a job can be greatly reduced.

The first step of writing a hair stylist resume is to choose the most suitable template. These can be found really easy if you search on the internet, or in resume writing books. Each template has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you should carefully consider which to use. Choose the one that highlights your strong points.

The next step is to include your contact information and name in the designated area at the top of the template. When you are done, you should check your phone number and e-mail address for errors. Then it is important to formulate an objective statement: this is a short, 2-3 proposition part that includes your professional goals, skills and highlights the ways your work can bring benefit the company. This might be a good objective statement: "To get a job as a hairstylist in a fashionable saloon where my reputation and education will help increase the number of regular clients."

A hair stylist resume should also include a section of your education history. Write down everything: cosmetology courses, workshops, seminars or refresher courses you attended. You should also write a list of your previous jobs in this trade. It may happen that you have little or no experience as a stylist: in this case you should include any previous work experience that can be a proof that you work well with people. It is also important to show that you know what responsibility means. It is also important to include a list of your certificates, along with the year you earned them.

A very important part of a hair stylist resume is the list of references. You should include the name and contact information of those who are willing to give positive feedback about your hair stylist skills and work ethics. You should have at least two, non-relative references. The best is to convince your cosmetology school instructor and a manager or a shop owner you have worked with to give you references.
