Other requirements

Hairdressing is a busy, practical and client-focused career. You’ll spend much of the day on your feet and will be expected to help with all aspects of salon life, including cleaning, tidying, shampooing, assisting stylists and looking after clients.

Our salon can be fast-paced, particularly during busy periods, so we’re looking for someone who is reliable, enthusiastic and happy to get involved.

Some evening and weekend working will be required as part of the role. In return, you’ll be joining a supportive team where the more enthusiasm and effort you put into your training, the more opportunities you’ll have to learn, practise and progress.
