Abstract

The article is devoted to the theoretical and methodological structure of basic professional hairstyle training for stylists. The relevance of the topic is related to the restructuring of hairdressing education under the influence of increasing complexity of client requests, digital training tools, expanding communicative requirements and increasing dependence of training on the cultural environment. The novelty of the work is to explain the internal connection between the craft, cognitive, emotional-communicative, digital and culturally adaptive levels of learning, which are often considered separately. The text describes how the learning action moves from reproducing an operation to recognizing a professional situation and designing a solution. Special attention is paid to the correlation of demonstration training, algorithmized training materials, virtual training, emotional regulation and gender-labeled norms of professional behavior. The purpose of the work is to explain the structure of stylists’ training as an interconnected system of professional development and to clarify the mechanisms of its pedagogical restructuring. To solve this problem, an analytical review, a comparison of studies, a conceptual interpretation of the identified relationships, and a structural synthesis were applied. The final part describes the stable mechanisms that define the modern training model. The material will be useful for professional education researchers, beauty industry teachers, and practitioners involved in training aspiring professionals.
