Completing straightforward hairdressing services, such as shampooing and conditioning, unsupervised.
Competently assisting the professional stylist with more complex services.

The elective unit standards provide for a wide range of possible areas of focus from providing an early opportunity to tackle units standards such as dreadlocks and braiding which are core unit standards at later levels, through some computer-oriented unit standards on email, the internet and word-processing, to more specialized salon areas such as advanced massage.
