1. Do Americans call hairdressers 'hairdressers' or something else?
2. How do Americans say 'I'm going to empty the rubbish bin.'?
3. Do Americans say that they do the housework, as in 'I hate doing housework' or do you say something different?
4. Do you guys do the washing up or is there some other more American way of saying it?

1.) "Hairdressers". Yes. Sometimes you will see them called "hair stylists" or "stylists" in print, but it's not common to hear people say that (perhaps some women might.. going to "my stylist" probably implies a greater cash outlay).
2.) "I'm going to take out the trash," or "I'm going to empty the garbage."
3.) "housework" is "housework"!
4.) "the washing up" = "the dishes".. "My husband never does the dishes." Or you could just say "wash.." the dishes instead of "do.."
