Barber & Hair Stylist – Career Activity Packet teaching resource preview
Job applications & workplace skillsWriting & reflection

Barber & Hair Stylist – Career Activity Packet

An informational page defines what a barber and hair stylist do — cutting, washing, and styling hair, plus trimming beards and mustaches — before a Reading Response page has students circle, box, and underline details from that same passage and answer two open questions about barbershop etiquette and the difference between the two jobs. A rhyming “Barbershop Rules” poem is followed by two personal-response worksheets, “Haircut Writing” and “Haircut Questions,” asking students to reflect on their own haircut habits and experiences. “Hair Stylist Words” fills ten blanks from a ten-word bank covering tools and terms, a “Hair Salon Senses” page prompts five-senses descriptive writing, and a six-line acrostic poem spells BARBER. A 14-word word search, a first-person narrative about getting a haircut, an odd-and-even-number elimination puzzle that reveals a hidden saying, a 16-term hairstyle list, a cut-and-paste pattern page, a coloring page, a maze, and a mock “Hair Stylist Application” round out the set.
