Balayage, colour correction and a sharp bob all in one afternoon? A growing Auckland salon is looking for two Senior Hairdressers who enjoy that kind of variety and are at ease chatting with clients while they work.
You would cut, colour and style for women and children, run consultations, recommend treatments and products and help bring junior stylists along. The team is supportive and professional, and you would be trusted to work with little supervision. Sponsorship is available for eligible overseas candidates.
