Analysis of work environment and job characteristics by hairdresser job level

Based on previous research and in-depth interviews with hairdressers, this study attempted to analyze recent changes in the direct paid work system and the characteristics of domestic hairdressers. Interns (assistant hairdressers) assist their seniors and work as paid employees. After completing their internship, hairdressers are promoted to hair designers, and their employment status changes from wage labor to a special form of wage labor, a contract for work. The accountant who enters into a contract with the employer is an individual business owner who runs a beauty saloon and takes on the role of the employer. This study can be used as basic information to improve direct-paid work systems for hairdressers.
