What do hairdressers near me do?

Hiring hairstylists is the best way to give yourself a fresh, new look. Hairdressing services include cutting, trimming, styling, colouring, conditioning, and a host of other hair fashion treatments. 

Whether you have an upcoming event or occasion or simply want to spice up your charm, Airtasker has plenty of local hairdressers who can help you look and feel your best. For a better idea on what our hairdressers can do for you, here are more details:

Hairdresser service - haircuts and hair trimming

Having great hair begins with getting a great cut. Whether you need a low-maintenance trim or want to get an on-trend style that fits you, Airtasker can help you find a cheap hairdresser near me who can help you achieve the feature you want. Starting with an in-depth consultation to know your needs and expectations, your hairdresser then proceeds to cut or trim your hair using the most up-to-date tools, equipment, and products.

At your request, they can also provide additional services such as shampooing and conditioning and facial hair removal for total hair care. From soft angled bangs and sleek bobs to trendy buzz cuts, you can rely on talented hairdressers for a high-quality haircut and trimming service.

Hairdresser service - hair styling

Are you getting married or attending a wedding? Got a special event or celebration coming up? Through Airtasker, you can easily get in touch with all kinds of hairdressers near you (like a hairdresser specialising in curly hair near me) who can take the stress out of prepping for the occasion. You can freely let your hairdresser know the style you have in mind–whether it's an elegant chignon bun or cascading waves–and they can readily recreate the hairstyle for you.

You can also ask your hairdresser for a professional blow-dry service for special occasions. From natural-looking locks to volumised tresses, hairstyling experts can inject shine and bounce to your hair so you can celebrate in style.

Hairdresser service - hair colour services

Have you noticed your hair starting to turn grey? Or maybe you're looking for a change and want to transform your appearance.  Hair colouring experts can help you confidently rock the hair colour of your dreams. By first sitting down with you and discussing your style preferences, they can recommend ideal hair colour options and application techniques. You can have your hair professionally coloured to a lighter or darker hue or opt for speciality colouring treatments such as ombre, balayage, blondes, highlights, or lowlights.

Hairdresser service - hair extensions 

When you're looking to add volume, length, or texture to your hair, we can connect you with nearby hairdressers that do safe and quality extensions. You can choose to have tape-in extensions, also known as hotheads, which are weft extensions that you can attach without any heat or specialised tools and last for a month or two. Clip-in hair extensions are best for quick makeovers or a simple style change for an event since they can be attached and removed without much effort.

My hair has grown slowly for ages... health issues, stress, hard water (abroad) .. It's finally grown back a wee bit... and want the ends trimmed.. but not sliced... it's not possible to just trim them and style the hair in the traditional sense... i want to find somehow who is somehow happy to do a tiny trim... without a style per se.... i don't trust anyone in shops... they have a need to 'style'... and just take more off regardless... so i'm trying here... for someone willing to do a tiny trim.. even if it's against the usual style principles.. thank you! I am happy to travel to you if it helps, btw.

I had hair traumas for all sorts of reasons. Avoided the hairdresser for ages, or at least when it went it was terrible. Bryan has brought me back to trusting hairdressers and toward liking my hair! Thank you Bryan!

Additionally, I have further damaged my hair from home colouring, I attempted to correct the uneven breakage myself and unfortunately cut my hair extremely short and uneven (now approximately pixie length, which I regret). My natural regrowth is brown. My usual look is ash-blonde foils followed by ash/white toning and a few inches past shoulder length, with soft longer layers through the back, blended into face-framing pieces and long bangs that flow into the front. Can you help me? I'm so stressed, especially as I have my daughter’s engagement on Saturday
