About the role
This interview assesses practical natural hair skill, safe product choices and the quality of your consultation. The panel will expect you to protect the hair and scalp, adapt techniques to texture and density, and explain home care without making unsupported claims. They will also look for reliable appointment management and a respectful client experience.
How to prepare
- Review examples that show your work across different curl patterns, densities, lengths and protective styles.
- Revise how you assess breakage, shedding, scalp irritation, product build-up and tension risk.
- Prepare to explain why you choose particular cleansing, conditioning, detangling and styling methods.
- Think through how you estimate service time and respond when an appointment takes longer than planned.
- Practise giving simple maintenance advice for a protective style without promising a medical outcome.
Common mistakes
- Treating all natural hair as if it has the same needs.
- Prioritising a tight, neat finish over scalp comfort and hairline protection.
- Making medical claims about scalp conditions instead of recognising when to refer the client.
