Hairdresser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hairdresser is someone whose occupation is to cut or style hair, in order to change or maintain a person's image as they desire. This is achieved using a combination of hair coloring, hair cut and hair texture techniques.

Hairdressers are often known as hairstylists, hair technicians, or beauticians. In various countries the synonyms change and the usage frequency depends on the normal colloquialisms of the area. In the US, technicians and stylists usually dominate while in some countries like the UK, Australia and New Zealand, hairdresser seems to be more commonly used.
Hairdressers are often distinguished from barbers, with whom they may have a professional rivalry.
The profession may have begun in the latter centuries of the English aristocracy as hair became a big part of their spirtural religion. Dressing the hair was a rich or noble part of one's birthright in the upper classes of England.[citation needed]
