Senior Hairdresser

Visa sponsorship

Hair & Beauty · Melbourne, VIC, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored

Great hair is half technique and half listening. An established, growing salon in Melbourne wants a Senior Hairdresser who is equally strong at both, for full-time work cutting, colouring and styling alongside experienced colleagues.

Clients expect to be listened to, so you will spend time understanding each person before the scissors come out, and they should leave knowing how to look after their new style. Hair extension skills are a real plus, though strong senior-level hairdressing comes first. Sponsorship is available for a suitable and eligible candidate.

Salon owners want a feel for your chair, so describe your regulars, your speciality services and where you trained on your CV. Highlight your senior colour and extensions work in Build AI CV before you apply.
