The aim of the dissertation presentation here is to contribute knowledge on how adolescent girls in VET for hairdressers negotiate and perform (vocational) identities from aclass- and gender perspective with special focus on femininity. This is done through ethnographical fieldwork. Theoretically the study is inspired by feminist poststructuralist theory together with theory of how working-class women act to become respectable.The main results show that the hairdresser student is positioned as a female entrepreneur, that is constructed through two different discourses. One depicts the vocation as a glamorous profession to love. The other as hard work, low wages, and a craft that requires many hours of education. One conclusion of the thesis is that traditionally feminine coded performances, such as caring,being nice, and doing good is reshaped in a neoliberal time where notions of a competitive, strong, and self-governing girl is the one that has become the ideal hairdresser. The position of a self-governing girl neglects issues of class and gender, since discourses of Girl Power position girls in a way that the individual subject owns their success, and that we are living in an equal society.
