The Internet is the latest and fastest method of doing business in the world today. However, despite its popularity, little is known about its strategy and marketing. Join us at this most informative club and we will provide information on Internet hairdressing, both as hair salon business and hairdressing as a career. The Internet era is changing the way hairdressing is carried out as a business and introducing a new breed of hairdressers who operate differently from the way it used to be done. Some of the changes in the role of this new breed of hairdressers are:

1. Hairdressers will have to upgrade their skills constantly to provide the latest in hair design and information.

2. They will have to learn new skills and knowledge to survive in an information technology based economy.

3. Hairdressers will have more career opportunities. If they stay with the same salon, they will be able to do better work at better pay.

4. Appointments can be booked anywhere, anytime instead of at the salon and even without informing the hairdressers themselves.

5. Professional consultation will be more technical and efficient.

6. Hairdressers need not be paid fixed wages based on hours or months worked but instead according to output and their entrepreneuring skills as contractors and freelancers.

7. Hairdressing work becomes less interchangeable. It becomes more diversified and specialized with greater division of labor and teamwork.

8. Hair salons are expected to revamp their organizations more often, changing in shape, size and people to deal with the changing dynamics of the business.

9. What hairdressers learned in hairdressing schools will not equip them for life. Learning is a life-long process, they have to learn, relearn and be prepared to forget outmoded practices.

10. Salons will be under pressure to innovate constantly, not only in improving their services and staff skills but also in the way they use the latest in technology including the Internet.
