______________
Today, we are providing you with a list of the essential equipment for every hairdressing student for a successful year!
Overview of the hairdressing diploma training program
It is divided into two main parts: one directly related to hairdressing and the other dealing with complementary disciplines. Of course, any good hairdresser must be familiar with both.
You will therefore find cutting courses using different techniques. You will be introduced to washing methods and learn various practices that a hairdresser faces daily. Perms, coloring, styling, blow-drying, as well as hygiene and safety will be basic concepts that will serve you throughout your career.
In addition to the field of hairdressing, you will also have to take courses in more general subjects. Mathematics, French, and history are among them. This will make your training as comprehensive as possible.
Essential CAP hairdressing equipment
- First, you will need brushes of different sizes and models (round, flat, boar bristles, pneumatic, varying diameters), as well as combs (detangling, pick, tail comb, etc.). This hairdressing equipment is fundamental for successful services.
- Essential tool for any good hairdresser? Scissors, of course! There are several types depending on the technique used: cutting, sculpting, thinning, or even specific ones for left-handers. To keep them safe and protect them from shocks, consider specially designed cases.
- Regarding consumable products (colorations, hairsprays, gels…), note that you will need them regularly throughout the year.
- To perform setting and perming techniques, you will need various diameters of rollers and curlers. These are generally represented by color codes indicating their size. Don't forget end papers and hairnets, important elements for this hairdressing service!
Various accessories
- Finally, various accessories will be required for practicing the hairdressing profession under the best conditions. These accessories include: a coloring bowl, neck duster, dispenser, shaker, brush, various textiles, hairdryer, curling iron, straightener, gloves, clips, or sectioning clips.
- And to transport all this great equipment during your training, consider cases, small cases, and trolleys, which are very practical! This will help you organize your hairdressing tools better.
This list of CAP hairdressing equipment may vary from one institution to another. Therefore, you should obtain the detailed equipment requested by your school. It is crucial not to arrive completely unprepared on the day of your first practical exercises! Also, remember to wear professional attire. Generally, it consists of black bottoms and a white or black top, as well as black shoes. But again, this depends on your training institution.
There you go, you are now an informed apprentice hairdresser, ready to become a hairdressing professional in the coming months!
