History
Ancient hairdressing
Hair dressing for work has been around for thousands of years. Ancient art paintings and paintings have been found that depict people who work on someone else's hair. The Greek writers Aristophanes and Homer both mention hairstyles in their writings. In Africa, it is believed in some cultures that a person's spirit occupies his hair, giving the hair stylist a high status in this community. Hairstyle status encourages many people to develop their skills, and close relationships are built between hairdressers and their clients. Hours will be spent on washing, combing, oiling, organizing, and decorating their hair. Men will work specifically on men, and women in other women. Before a major hairdresser dies, they will give their comb and equipment to a chosen substitute during a special ceremony.
In ancient Egypt, hairdressers had special boxes for storing their tools, including lotions, scissors, and materials. Barbers also work as hairdressers, and rich men often have personal barbers in their homes. With standards wearing wigs in culture, wig makers are also trained as hairdressers. In ancient Rome Greece and Greek household slaves and auxiliaries took the role of hairdressers, including immersion and shaving. Men who do not have personal hair or shaving services will visit the local salon. Women have their hair nurtured and cared for in their homes. Less historical documentation about hair stylist from the 5th century until the 14th century. Hair care services grew in demand after the papal ruling in 1092 demanded that all Roman Catholic priests remove their facial hair.
Europe
The first appearance of the word "hairdresser" was in seventeenth-century Europe, and hairstyles were regarded as professions. The hair mode of the period showed that rich women wore big, complex, and very adorable hairstyles, which would be nurtured by personal servants and others, who would spend hours to dress her hair. The hair of a rich man is often kept by a valet. It was in France where men began to dress women's hair for the first time, and many of the leading hairdressers of the time were men, a trend that would continue into contemporary times. The first famous male hairdresser is Champagne, who was born in Southern France. After moving to Paris, he opened his own hair salon and dressed up a rich Parisian hair until his death in 1658.
Female hair grew taller in style during the 17th century, popularized by hairdresser Madame Martin. Hairstyles, "towers," are a trend with rich British and American women, who rely on hairdressers to style their hair as high as possible. A pile of high curly hair is toughened, flavored and decorated with ribbons, flowers, lace, feathers and jewelry. The hairdressing profession was launched as a true profession when Legros de Rumigny was declared the first official hairdresser in a French court. In 1765 de Rumigny published his book Art de la Style Hair Pieces des Dames , which discusses hairstyle and includes a hairstyle image designed by him. It was a bestseller among French women, and four years later de Rumigny opened a school for hairdressers: Academie de Coiffure. At school he taught men and women to cut hair and make special hair designs.
In 1777, about 1,200 hairdressers worked in Paris. During this time, barbers form unions, and demand that hairdressers do the same. Wig makers also demand that hairdressers stop picking up from their trade, and hairdressers reply that their roles are not the same, hairdressing is a service, and wig makers make and sell products. de Rumigny died in 1770 and other hairdressers grew in popularity, especially three Frenchmen: Frederic, Larseueur, and LÃÆ' à © onard. Leonard and Larseueur are stylist for Marie Antoinette. Leonard was his favorite, and developed many fashionable hairstyles in the rich Paris circle, including the loge d'opera , which towered as high as five feet above the wearer's head. During the French Revolution, he escaped from the country hours before he was arrested, along with the king, queen, and other clients. He emigrated to Russia, where he worked as a major hairdresser for Russian nobility.
19th century
Paris hairdressers continued to develop influential styles during the early 19th century. Rich French women will have their favorite hairstyle hairstyle from within their own home, a trend seen in the rich international community. Hairdressers are primarily a service that is only affordable for those who are wealthy enough to hire professionals or pay servants to take care of their hair. In the United States, Marie Laveau was one of the most famous hairdressers of the time. Laveau, located in New Orleans, began working as a hairdresser in the early 1820s, nourishing the hairs of wealthy women in the city. She is a voodoo practitioner, called "Voodoo Queen of New Orleans," and she uses her relationship with rich women to support her religious practice. She provides "help" to women who need it for money, gifts and other help.
French hairbers Marcel Grateau developed the "Marcel wave" at the end of this century. The waves require the use of a special hot hair iron and need to be done by an experienced hairdresser. The fashionable women ask their hair to be "glued". During this period, hairdressers began to open salons in cities and towns, led by Martha Matilda Harper, who developed one of the first retail hair salon networks, Harper Method.
20th century
The beauty salon was popularized during the 20th century, in addition to the male barber. These spaces serve as a social space, allowing women to socialize while their hair is finished and other services such as facials. Rich women still have hairdressers visiting their homes, but, the majority of women visit salons for service, including high-end salons like Elizabeth Arden's Red Door Salon.
Major advances in hairdressing took place during this period. Electricity led to the development of permanent wave machines and hair dryers. These tools allow hairdressers to promote visits to their salon, through limited home visits. New coloring processes were developed, including those by Eugene Schueller in Paris, which allowed hairdressers to perform complex styling techniques. After World War I, bob and shingle bob pieces became popular, alongside other short haircuts. In the 1930s the elaborate style returned to fashion, in addition to the return of Marcel's waves. Hairstyling is one of several acceptable professions during this time for women, in addition to teaching, breastfeeding and administrative work.

United States
At work, hairdressing is expected to grow faster than the average for all other jobs, by 20%. A state license is required for hairdressers to practice, with qualifications varying from state to state. Generally someone who is interested in hairdressing should have a high school diploma or GED, at least 16 years of age, and have graduated from a barbershop school or cosmetology department. Full-time programs often last 9 months or more, leading to an associate degree. After students graduate from the program, they take the state licensing exam, which often consists of a written test, and a practice test of styling or oral examination. Hairdressers must pay for licenses, and sometimes licenses must be updated. Some countries allow hairdressers to work without getting a new license, while others require new licenses. Approximately 44% of hairdressers are self-employed, often spending 40 hours a week, and even longer among entrepreneurs. In 2008, 29% of hair stylist worked part-time, and 14% had varying schedules. In 2008, people who worked as hairdressers totaled about 630,700, with an increase projected to 757,700 by 2018.
