澳大利亚美发行业面临严重的培训缺陷，许多美发师缺乏为卷发和纹理发质客户提供专业服务的能力1。目前美发教育中关于卷发和非洲式发质的培训为可选课程，导致许多学徒完成学业时几乎没有实践经验1。
为改善这一状况，澳大利亚创意技能委员会（SaCSA）于2025年3月启动了对美发和理发资格标准的审查与更新1。该审查提议增加三个新单元，专门针对卷发和紧密卷发的切割与染色技能1。这一举措源于行业长期存在的问题——2022至2023年期间，仅45%的美发职位空缺被填补，其中85%的申请者被认为不适合该岗位1。
这项改革的呼声由来已久。2020年，美发师Chrissy Zemura发起在线请愿，要求强制实施卷发和非洲式发质培训模块，获得超过42,000个签名支持1。不过，SaCSA首席执行官Natalie Turmine表示，目前行业需求不足以使这些单元成为课程的强制部分1。澳大利亚美发委员会首席执行官Fiona Beamish则表示希望这些单元最终能成为强制性培训1。
Australia's hairdressing industry is grappling with significant training deficiencies that leave many stylists unprepared to work with curly and textured hair.1 Currently, training in curly hair and Afro-textured hair care is optional rather than mandatory in hairdressing education, with many apprentices completing their qualifications with minimal hands-on experience in these areas.1
Recognizing this gap, Australia's Creative Skills Council (SaCSA) initiated a review of hairdressing and barbering qualification standards in March 2025, proposing three new specialized units focused on cutting and coloring curly and tightly coiled hair.1 The proposed changes come at a time when the industry faces persistent recruitment challenges—in 2022-23, only 45 percent of hairdressing vacancies were filled, with 85 percent of applicants deemed unsuitable for available positions.1 This push for reform has gained momentum from grassroots advocacy; in 2020, hairdresser Chrissy Zemura launched an online petition demanding mandatory training modules for curly and Afro-textured hair, which accumulated over 42,000 signatures.1
However, the path to mandatory training remains uncertain. SaCSA Chief Executive Natalie Turmine stated that current industry demand is insufficient to make these units compulsory components of the curriculum.1 In contrast, Fiona Beamish, Chief Executive of the Australian Hairdressing Council, expressed hope that these units will eventually become required training.1
