Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
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 the required appearance of wigs and hairpieces for performers. They are also responsible for the maintenance of wigs and hairpieces.
Good communication skills are essential, since hair stylists need to create a work environment where performers feel at ease when wigs and hairpieces are fitted.
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 style wigs and hairpieces for productions in the film, television and live entertainment industries.
The unit is broadly based on but not equivalent to WRH07A Apply and maintain wigs and hairpieces 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.
