What a hairdresser assistant does

Hairdresser assistants clean the hair of clients, apply hair conditioner and dying treatment in a beauty salon. They apply shampoo, rub scalp and rinse the hair. They may also do scalp treatment, bleaching, tinting, and massaging for their clients. Hairdresser assistants use specialized lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and other hair care equipment, according to their client's needs and preferences.
