Unit of Competency SIHHHCS301A - Design haircut structures
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop 2-D visual representations and plans for haircut structures.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to hairdressers who visualise the components of finished haircut structures and use 2-D representations of interior and exterior lines and angles, and the direction of design lines and angles, as aids to planning haircuts.A person undertaking this role applies discretion and judgement and accepts responsibility for outcomes of own work.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Draw outline shapes.
  • Analyse the structural components of the desired haircut design.
  • Produce a simple line drawing showing straight and curved design lines and direction of lines represented in the finished haircut design.
       
Element: Create haircut plans.
  • Identify and illustrate starting point, sectioning and parting pattern for each component of the haircut structure.
  • Illustrate degree of lift and distribution of hair, according to the haircut structure.
  • Illustrate the structural graphic for the haircut plan by drawing lines at 90 degrees to the curve of the head.
  • Develop a finished haircut plan that shows soft and hard interior and exterior lines, starting point of haircut, sectioning and parting patterns, degree of lift, distribution of hair and structural graphic.
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

analysing and interpreting finished looks and the components of haircut structures

developing simple line drawings representing finished haircut designs

producing 2-D representations showing interior and exterior design lines, indicating soft or hard lines, starting point of haircut, sectioning and parting patterns, degree of lift, distribution of hair and structural graphic.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

analysis sheets

a variety of hair design illustrations and examples with different haircut requirements.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct observation of the learner:

interpreting illustrations to show haircut technique requirements

producing simple line drawings that accurately show:

the structural graphic

interior and exterior, straight and curved design lines and directions of design lines that are relevant to the desired finished haircut

starting points, sectioning and parting patterns

degree of lift angles

distribution of hair

written or verbal questions appropriate to the language and literacy level of the learner to test knowledge which include:

elements and principles of design

geometric principles related to angles and shapes

salon procedures

review of portfolios of evidence and third-party reports of on-the-job performance.

Guidance information for assessment

A unit of competency describes an individual skill but people rarely perform one skill at a time. Many skills are combined on a day-to-day basis in the workplace as part of work processes. This does not mean that each skill described by a unit of competency is pre-requisite to another— they are related skills.

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, salon and job role is recommended, for example:

SIHHHCS302A Apply one length or solid haircut structures

SIHHHCS303A Apply graduated haircut structures

SIHHHCS304A Apply layered haircut structures

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

interpersonal skills to discuss the finished haircut

design skills to interpret and plan the components of the haircut design

technical skills to:

produce simple line drawings

transfer design ideas to paper

numeracy skills to:

calculate exterior and interior lengths in the haircut structure

interpret angles and lines in the haircut structure

Required knowledge

elements and principles of design

physical appearance of different haircut structures

physical appearance of finished designs

geometric principles related to angles and shapes

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Structural components may include:

solid form

graduated form

layered form.

Straight and curved design lines and direction of lines may include:

horizontal

vertical

various angles of diagonal lines

interior and exterior lines in the haircut structure.

Degree of lift may include:

natural fall

various lifting angles.

Distribution of hair may include:

natural fall

hair combed at a 90 degree angle to the base parting

shifted distribution.

Structural graphic may include graphics for:

solid form

graduation or taper

increased layering

uniform layering

structural combinations.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
