They may also do scalp treatment, bleaching, tinting, and massaging for their clients. Hairdresser assistants use specialized lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and other hair care equipment, according to their client's needs and preferences.

Zone 2: Some Preparation Needed
Some preparation. Usually a high school diploma, some previous work-related skill or experience, and a few months to a year of training with experienced workers.
Job Zone is O*NET's rating of how much education, experience and training an occupation typically needs — a property of the work, not of anyone doing it.
