Are you a Gold Medal Hairdresser
Hairdressers don’t often dream of Gold Medals like some kind of athlete, however, with studies showing that average hairdressing salaries are less than $40k per year – maybe they should. According to the Australian Department of Employment September 2015 “most employers recruiting hairdressers sought candidates with skills in all aspects of hairdressing including styling, colouring and cutting”, yet employers claimed that finding good employees remains difficult. So Hairdressing stays on the skills shortage list.
