Hairdresser's Day in Russia

September 13 · Level 4 · #1514 of 2238

Hairdresser's Day in Russia is an informal celebration of the people behind haircuts, colouring and styling. It recognises the skill and precision that can make a carefully planned hairstyle look completely effortless.

How it is celebrated: clients thank their favourite stylists, while salon teams congratulate colleagues. Workshops, professional gatherings and hairstyle competitions provide opportunities to exchange techniques and experiment with new looks.

The Russian word for hairdresser, parikmakher, comes from German and literally means a maker of wigs. The job has changed considerably, but the old name has stayed.
