An African-Caribbean hairdresser provides a range of hair services, mainly to people of African-Caribbean descent whose hair requires different care and treatment from customers of other ethnicities. Some customers are not of African-Caribbean descent but also want African-Caribbean styles such as dreadlocks. Services include hair cutting and styling, colouring, perming and blow drying, as well as specialist treatments such as relaxing, braids and cornrows, dreadlocks, twists, plaits, weave extensions and lace wigs.
A hairdresser that specialises in African-Caribbean hair can set up their own salon or rent a chair in another salon. They can also operate on a freelance or mobile basis.
