Hello to you and welcome to the world of hair dressers. My first thought for you is to get yourself into an assistant or apprentice position, as you can then get some training as you go along. That is really where you learn how to get your timing up and really get your skills up to par. Aside from that, try going online as there are a lot of websites that offer how-to cuts and colors.
Try some of the manufacturers. I think Matrix has a lot of education and I would just click on the different manufacturers sites and see what they have to offer, particularly in cuts and color applications.
Next, start practicing on your friends. There are books you can get on the basic info for toners too.
Good luck. It takes time and really, the way you learn how to do these things is by actually doing them. As far as timing, you just have focus and push yourself. I can get really slow if I talk too much. I think it takes me about 12-15 minutes to apply tint. Just try moving faster. Notice any unnecessary movements that you make, and try to just focus and concentrate. Practice makes perfect.

Hi there
fank u very much 4 taking the time out to write back, its very much appreciated. Some good ideas i will put them into practice. Ecspecially the job idea, i did think that my self but i wouldnt really no what to say to the salon if i applied for a apprenticship role as im already qulified they might be a bit like : S why do u want an apprentiship if ur already quilified? I dunno lol i suppose ive got more chance of an apprentiship than a juniour stylist role as no wear seems to want juniour stylist. I thought about maby bargaining with a salon and sort of saying im happy to have a apprentict wage until there happy with my timing and they can re-train me up wear they feel i need it. Anyway thanks again

I would think that salons would prefer hiring someone who they can train to work the way they want you to... I am in the U.S. and either a salon expects you to have a clientele and you can rent a chair from them, or they will train you and then put you on the floor after they know that you can make money for them.
I got my license and didn't work in a salon for 20 years. AFter all that time passed, I wanted an apprentice program so I could get back to learning new things and getting the feel of work in a salon. It was great training and then I was busy on the floor working as a stylist, it was perfect. There are always things to learn. I taught myself color and the way you learn to do color is by doing color. I know you asked about toners and there are many reasons to use toners. Sometimes you use them to tone a highlight that isn't the right color. Maybe the highlights are too gold so you tone them with a violet toner. I think toners are for a subtle alteration to a color. And of course they are famous for double process blondes where toning is really an art.

Good luck and just keep talking to people. You will find the right place and you will be welcomed and then hopefully the salon will get you to be ready for the floor and you will get busy, sooner the better for everyone. As business is slow right now, it is not a bad time to in a training program anyway, because there are a lot of stylists who are not busy.
You don't want to rush out there and starve... use this time to better your skills and pay your dues. I just recently moved to a new town and had to start all over again building my business. I made myself go into every salon and talk to people, and most people were really nice and gave me good advice. I could tell sometimes walking into the salon that it didn't feel good to me, and so you should trust your instincts and find a place that fits you and that you feel welcome.
Good luck. It is a really fun and challenging career with a lot to learn. Especially about yourself...

It's always hard when you are looking for a job, because it feels like being judged, but you will be an asset to the right place and you will make money for them. Just stay positive and friendly and open-minded and the right thing will come. Just keep going into every salon and seeing if you can get some guidance from people. I think most people really do want to help... good luck. And keep posted to we can hear your progress.

hair cuts depends on the face shape or hair texture...generally longer hair is better for taller people..Try getting a mushroom cut for thin and short height person .. It may make u look way smaller than ur original age......
