Design notes

A long chestnut plait falls from the top edge down the left side of the page, like a braid worn over the shoulder, and ends in a brass cuff and a soft, fading tail. To its right, one aligned column carries the title, the name in script, the program, a statement and the skills in two columns, then a grid with duration, assessment, level, issue date and credential ID, two signatures and a QR code. The upright format fits a tall frame and reads well on a phone.

About

Hair Stylist Certificate Template, Portrait Plait

Many stylists keep their course certificate at the station, where every client in the chair can read it. This portrait certificate records a completed hair styling course: precision cutting, blow-drying and finishing, colour application, styling and updos, client consultation and salon hygiene, with a practical assessment on live clients. Hairdressing schools, salon groups that train their own juniors and colour or extension educators can issue it at the end of the program.

Wording on the template“Has completed every module and practical assessment of this course, including cutting, coloring, styling and finishing hair on live clients to a salon-ready standard of craft, client care and hygiene, assessed by qualified educators.”

Post for the recipient to share

Twelve weeks of cutting, colouring, blow-drying and very early mornings, and today I finished my hairdressing course. Thank you to my educators for their patience and to every model who sat in my chair while I learned. My certificate is going up at my station, and I am ready for my first clients. #Hairdressing #HairStylist #SalonLife

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it upright, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
