(latest NCVER data)SHBHCUT008 Design and perform creative haircuts prepares senior hairdressers and barbers to research local and international trends, build a portfolio of creative designs and cut hair into combined structures that enhance or accentuate client features. It is a sensible scope choice for RTOs whose learners are moving into session styling, technical advisory or salon leadership roles, with SHBHCUT008 training materials supporting the research and portfolio tasks.
Learners develop skills in researching current and emerging trends, writing trend reports, compiling creative design portfolios, developing 2-D haircut plans, consulting with clients, combining structures and textures for creative effect and finishing designs to shape.
