Design and apply creative long hair designs
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to senior hairdressers in salon and session styling environments, who research current directions in long hair design and combine design elements, principles and technical skills to achieve creative, experimental or innovative (avant garde) long hair images on female clients. Such images are based on local, international, current and emerging hair and fashion trends.
The hair design may primarily establish the basis of the look. Alternatively, the hair design concept is developed around particular clothes or an event theme. This may involve the addition of hair pieces, other fibres, materials and ornaments to achieve the design.
A person undertaking this role applies discretion and judgement accepts responsibility for outcomes of own work and provides technical leadership in the salon team.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to combine design elements and techniques to produce creative up, down and combination finished designs.
