According to a recent survey conducted by examiner City & Guilds, hairdressers are the happiest workers in the UK, with two out of five saying they are very content in their job. Michael Osbaldeston of City & Guilds said there were plenty of reasons why hairdressers should be happy. “It is the relationship they have with their client which makes the job what it is,” he said. “They are appreciated. They make people feel good and look good. Many of them have the opportunity to be their own bosses and that also seems to be something that is quite important in people’s happiness.” Commenting on the survey’s findings Steven Dunn, Salon Director at Dunn Hair, tells us “There are very few jobs that combine such high levels of creativity, one on one client interaction and that can ultimately impact peoples’ lives so positively. It’s all about mutual trust and respect between client and hairdresser. I don’t sell colour and cutting as simple commodities – I sell myself, my talent and my love of hair. It’s my name above the door and I never forget that. I make a real difference to people’s lives – all day and every day! Client happiness is what it’s all about. How many people can say they do all this for their day job? Not many judging by the outcome of this City & Guild survey and that is why hairdressing is such a special job.”
