This analysis is directed at the hairstyling occupation, which includes hairdressers, barbers (and in some jurisdictions, manicurists and pedicurists). The analysis identifies tasks and sub-tasks performed by a hairstylist, arranged in blocks of distinct operations relevant to that occupation. These blocks include workplace health and safety, sanitization, treating scalp and hair, cutting hair, styling hair, waving and straightening hair, colouring hair, applying wigs and hair extensions, performing facial treatment, manicuring and pedicuring, and performing retail and salon management functions. For each task, the document outlines the element of skill and knowledge needed to perform the task adequately, identifies any shifts or changes in technology that affect the task, lists tools and equipment required for the task, and provides an indication of whether the task has been validated by each province and territory. The appendix includes a list of tools and equipment used in the occupation, and a tabulation of the percentage of time a worker spends performing each block and task in a given year (by province/territory and for Canada as a whole).
