Hairdresser vs. Hair Stylist

Hairdresser and hair stylist can both be used for a lot of the same people, but there are some slight differences. While "hairdresser" traditionally refers to a professional who cuts hair, "hair stylist" carries a more artistic and creative tone.

Hairdresser

The term "hairdresser" primarily suggests skills in cutting and possibly coloring. It can, for example, be a men's hairdresser who typically only cuts the customer's hair.

Hair Stylist

"Hair stylist" embraces a more creative approach to hair. This expression brings to mind an artist who not only cuts hair but also creates unique and stylish expressions. It can, for example, be a stylist who makes models ready for fashion shows. Some stylists don't cut hair at all.
