What are some common challenges hair stylist assistants face during their daily work, and how can they overcome them?
What is a hair stylist assistant?
What does a hair stylist assistant do?
A hair stylist assistant works under the main hair stylist and provides support services, such as washing the client’s hair, mixing hair colors, stocks hair products at the station, and ensures the blow dryer and other devices work properly. Most hairdressers start their career as hair stylist assistants to gain experience working with clients while they are attending cosmetology school.
What is the difference between Hair Stylist Assistant vs Hair Stylist?
| Aspect | Hair Stylist Assistant | Hair Stylist |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | High school diploma or equivalent; training or certification often preferred | Cosmetology license or certification required |
| Work Environment | Salons, spas, or barbershops assisting stylists | Salons, working directly with clients to cut, color, and style hair |
| Job Responsibilities | Preparing clients, shampooing, cleaning tools, assisting stylists | Performing haircuts, coloring, styling, consulting clients |
The main difference between a Hair Stylist Assistant and a Hair Stylist is that assistants support stylists with preparatory tasks and client management, while stylists perform the actual hair cutting, coloring, and styling services. Assistants typically require less experience and certification, working under supervision, whereas stylists are licensed professionals responsible for client services.

About Great Clips
Sourced by ZipRecruiter
Great Clips, Inc. was established in Minneapolis, Minnesota by founders David Rubenzer and Steve Lemmon in 1982, a time when most people received haircuts in one of three ways: in full-service hair salons, from barbershops or at home. As a stylist and businessman, David could see that the industry was changing. Customers were looking for a hair salon service that could fit their busy lifestyles and desire for value. To be part of that change – rather than find themselves competing with it – David and Steve developed the then-radical concept of a walk-in haircare salon with weekend and evening hours, offering customers a select list of services, and providing benefits for stylists. After the founders opened several successful hair salons, Ray Barton joined David and Steve as an owner in March 1983. With Ray's help and expertise in franchising, the trio set about growing the Great Clips hair salon brand. That success continues through today.
