Every now and again we all need a helping hand. Especially in the beauty world where at times things can begin to get busy and your speed needs to be accelerated.

Working in a hair salon requires skill, knowledge and capability to move quickly, and multi task. This is one of the any reasons why majority of stylist have one or two assistants helping them at any given time.

Usually salons and stylist acquire a secreterial assistant and a prep assistant.

Overall their job also consist of keeping the client happy and to ensure their experience at the salon is a good one in hopes to leave a lasting impression for the client to continue to keep coming back.
