How to Make a Hairdresser Costume
Many hairdressers dress in a way that is stylish and practical at the same time. Many salons have a uniform requirement of monochromatic black outfits. However, the hairdressers are able to transform the simple outfits into a bold fashion and personality statement. You can copy this bold style for an unusual Halloween costume that is simple, easy to identify and inexpensive. This costume works equally well for men, women, girls or boys.

Hair and Makeup

Dye your hair a bold color or add temporary highlights or lowlights. If you do not want to permanently dye your hair, you can use temporary hair spray color to change the color of your hair.

Fix your hair into a trendy or wild style. Hairdressers typically have bold hairstyles because their hair is one of their main advertisements for their profession. Many hairdressers use their hair as a showcase of their styling abilities.

Add bold makeup to your look as well. Some hairdressers wear unusual makeup colors and wear their makeup differently than many other people. Add vivid eye shadow or lipstick.

Tips & Warnings
If you are unsure that other party-goers will be able to identify your costume, slip on an artist's smock. Fill the smock with hair-dressing materials, such as scissors, combs and brushes, a water spray bottle, a curling iron or hairspray.
