How to Give an Older Woman a Haircut

Changes in older women, especially after 40, result in loss of hair density and change in texture, which requires a haircut to maintain healthy hair. The haircutting process requires you to come to an agreement with the client on the style of the cut and the length of hair you cut off. The haircut should accent her face and draw attention to the strong points on the woman's face.

      Sit the woman on a high comfortable chair in a room with easy-to-clean floor, such as a wooden floor, or outside, preferably in front of a mirror. Place a towel over her shoulders to keep hair off her clothes and neck.

      Offer the woman a head massage to relax her as you explain the haircut and the expected results. Present her with options and agree on the style of her haircut, which will highlight and accentuate her face.

      Comb through the hair to ensure there are no knots or tangled hair. Wet her hair slightly by spraying it with the water bottle or combing it with a wet comb.

      Hold about an inch wide of hair between two fingers from the middle point at the back of the head, comb the hair and hold it as you cut it. Repeat the procedure from the back of the head toward the front until you have cut through all hair. Comb through to confirm you leave no hair uncut and shape it at the front to compliment the woman's facial features.

      Allow her to brush her hair and style it then suggest more styles she can make with her new haircut. Take off the towel and dust off any hair on her clothes or neck and clean up after she leaves.
