The ideal candidate is comfortable handling appointments independently, from consultation and haircutting to styling and finishing.

We especially value stylists who enjoy working with different hair types, textures, and styles and who prioritize quality, consistency, and client satisfaction.

Experience with professional hair coloring is highly valued. Familiarity with Asian hair or Japanese-inspired haircutting techniques is a plus, but not required.

Candidates with fewer than five years of experience may also be considered if they demonstrate strong technical skills and the ability to work independently.

• Reliable, punctual, and professional.
• Ability to create a positive experience for every client.

Schedule & Work Environment

We offer flexible scheduling, allowing stylists to choose their working days and hours. Full-time and part-time availability are both welcome. Availability on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays is especially appreciated, but not required.

We are a small, supportive team that values professionalism, attention to detail, and a calm, comfortable atmosphere for both clients and stylists.

Compensation

This is a 100% commission-based position.

• Commission: 40–50% of service sales, depending on experience and qualifications.
• No guaranteed hourly rate.
• Earnings vary based on client bookings, services performed, and sales.
• Tips are separate from commission.
• Compensation details will be discussed during the interview.
