About this template
The Trade — Hairdresser template is a soft salon CV pairing Playfair Display titles with DM Sans body on powder-pink paper. Sections give space to specialties (cut, colour, balayage, extensions), product lines mastered and client profile — useful for high-end salons as much as for freelance editorial and shoot work.
Who is it for?
It suits hairdressers, colourists and salon managers applying to premium salons (Frédéric Fekkai, Sally Hershberger, Bumble and bumble, John Frieda, Vidal Sassoon, Toni & Guy, Christophe Robin), luxury hotel beauty spaces, Fashion Week shows and editorial shoots. Equally fit for freelance hairdressers circulating between studios and private clients on the editorial-celebrity circuit.
How to use it
Cite certifications (state board licence, Vidal Sassoon Academy, L'Oréal Professionnel certification, MOF Coiffure, CAP/BP/BM Coiffure in France) and techniques mastered (razor cutting, dimensional colour, California balayage, ombré, gloss, Japanese straightening, keratin). List professional ranges (Wella Professionals, L'Oréal Professionnel, Kérastase, Davines, Olaplex, Aveda). For runway profiles, list Fashion Weeks covered (Paris, Milan, London, NYFW) and the lead hair artist credited.
Frequently asked questions
Should I attach a photo portfolio?
Essential for runway, editorial and premium salon profiles. The portfolio URL (personal site, professional Instagram, Behance) must appear in the header. Curate 12-15 visuals showing technical range (cut, colour, styling, event work) and a coherent point of view — creative directors read the portfolio before the CV in this trade.
How do I describe multi-client freelance work?
List magazines (Vogue, V, W, Harper's Bazaar, Numéro), agencies (Streeters, The Wall Group, Art Partner, Bryant Artists) and brands (Chanel Beauty, Dior Beauty, Estée Lauder) you have freelanced for. State the role (key hair, first assistant) and the lead hair artist when applicable — the credit chain is what the industry reads.
Does it suit barber applications?
Yes. The template suits high-end barbers (Blind Barber, Fellow Barber, Murdock London, Truefitt & Hill) and mixed hairdresser-barber profiles. Cite specific certifications (state barber licence, Master Barber, CAP Barbier in France) and techniques (traditional straight-razor work, sculpted beard, hot-towel grooming, facial work).
