Description
The cosmetology industry employs over a million people.
Hairdressing is one of the fastest-growing and fiercely-competitive industries in the world; one need only walk into the nearest mall to realize how much this business is booming! Although this may make it easier to find a job, being able to make a name for yourself among the competition will take more than a handiness with scissors. More often than not, the best paying jobs go to those who possess excellent customer service and business savvy, who are constantly learning and improving their skills, and who can deal with stress well. The traits and skills assessed on this test are what differentiate “good” hairdressers” from “great” hairdressers. Remember, although a person may have mastered every possible technique in the book, such expertise won’t be worth much if he or she doesn’t know or have what it takes to obtain and keep clients.
The task of identifying who is or would be a good hairdresser is admittedly complex. It is essential for any salon owner to have employees who are well-matched to their job descriptions. Armed with the information from this test, you can become familiar with the areas that would require attention and careful consideration so your employees can reach their full potential in this career.
Purpose: The condensed HAPAP – Ab will evaluate whether a person has the skills and traits to be successful in the hairdressing field.
