How to draw a hairdresser step by step
How to Draw a Hairdresser · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The round head
Draw a big circle that is a little wider than it is tall. Stop the line before it closes, so there is a small gap at the bottom where the neck will go.
Step 3: Hair and bangs
Start at the top of the head with a small point. Draw one curved line sweeping down to the left and another sweeping down to the right, like a gentle hill on each side.
Step 4: Small curved mark
To the right of the head, draw one short curved line, like a tiny comma lying on its side. It will be the shine on the mirror later.
Step 5: Collar and apron
Draw a short straight line across the gap under the head for the collar. Then draw the apron below it with slightly curved sides and a flat bottom.
Step 6: Bent arms
Draw a long bent arm on each side of the apron, starting at the collar and curving out and down, like a sausage. Leave the ends open.
Step 7: Legs and shoes
Draw two short straight lines below the apron for legs. At the bottom of each, draw a wide flat oval for a shoe.
Step 8: Bottle and hair dryer
At the hand on the left, draw a rounded rectangle for a spray bottle. At the hand on the right, draw a hair dryer with a rounded body and a short handle.
Step 9: Face, pocket and details
Add two little round dots for eyes and a small curved smile below them. Draw a V shape at the neck and a rounded rectangle pocket on the apron with tiny scissors and a comb poking out. Add small details to the bottle and the hair dryer.
Step 10: The mirror stand
Next to the hairdresser, draw a tall oval for the mirror. Draw a straight line down from its bottom for the stand, and finish with a short curved line at the bottom for the base.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a hairdresser
- Draw the apron with light guide lines first, so both sides come out about the same width.
- The scissors in the pocket are tiny. Draw two small circles first, then add thin lines going down from them.
- Draw the hair dryer as a rounded bean shape first, then add the handle below it, so it looks like it is being held.
