September 13 — Hairdresser's Day: history, traditions, beautiful greetings
Every year on September 13, Russia celebrates Hairdresser's Day, a holiday for specialists who work with hair. In 2025, it falls on a Saturday. Izvestia tells about the history and traditions of the celebration, as well as shares greetings and postcards for hairdressers.
Hairdresser's Day on September 13 — the history of the holiday
Hairdresser's Day is an unofficial holiday. It is unknown exactly when it appeared in the Russian calendar. Nevertheless, most sources indicate that the celebration did not begin until the early 2000s. Before that, hairdressers celebrated International Beauty Day (September 9), dedicated to all employees of the beauty industry, and Trade Workers' Day.
With the development of hairdressing services, it became obvious that "scissor masters" need their own professional holiday. September 13 was chosen as the date for it. And although this day is not considered a weekend and is not celebrated at the state level, it has found recognition among hair experts.
The profession of a hairdresser has deep historical roots. Even in ancient Egypt, there were craftsmen who cared for hair, made wigs and dyed them using natural dyes such as henna and basma. In ancient Greece, the first analogues of modern beauty salons appeared, where noble ladies could afford hair styling services.
In the Middle Ages, barbers were not only hairdressers and barbers, they also performed simple surgical operations. And during the late Middle Ages, complex high hairstyles became fashionable, which made hair masters extremely popular among the nobility. It was believed that the more elegant and intricate the hairstyle, the higher the position of a lady in society.
The first professional hairdressing school was founded at the end of the 19th century in Chicago, USA. In Russia, professional training institutions for hairdressers began to appear in the 20th century, which contributed to the development and recognition of this profession.
Today, hairdressing is one of the most popular professions in the world. Specialists provide a wide range of services from simple haircuts to comprehensive hair care and the creation of complex hairstyles for events. They can also help with choosing products that will maintain healthy hair or preserve coloring at home.
Traditions of the Hairdresser's Day in Russia
In honor of Hairdresser's Day, various events are held for hair specialists, including workshops and seminars. They often take place in large cities, as well as on online platforms, and are an excellent opportunity for hairdressers to exchange experiences and establish useful contacts in the beauty industry.
One of the traditions of the holiday is the graduation ceremony at hairdressing schools. If Hairdresser's Day falls on a Friday, it is often on this day that graduation ceremonies are held for newly minted specialists.
Hairdresser's Day is also an important event for clients of beauty salons. In honor of the holiday, many hairdressers offer special discounts on services, which allows people to get high-quality hair care at more affordable prices.
