Earn great tips cutting hair, not spending your day trying to fill your book. The clientele is already here and the weekends are already busy, so you spend your shift in the chair instead of chasing bookings.

What You Will Do

• Cut children's hair on a full, pre-booked schedule: clipper cuts, fades, long haircuts and shaping, plus braids, temporary color and the sparkle add-ons kids ask for by name.
  
• Work confidently inside structured appointment times, keeping the book on pace.
  
• Keep kids and their families comfortable and looked after from the chair to the checkout.
  
• Recommend the retail products you actually believe in, and earn commission on what sells.
  

Requirements

What We Need

• An active New York State cosmetology license.
  
• Two or more years of professional haircutting experience.
  
• Confident with clipper cuts and fades.
  
• Availability on Saturdays, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Saturday is our busiest day and this is the priority for this role.
  

A strong advantage: Sunday and weekday-afternoon availability, experience with children's hair, and a high-volume cutting background where you built real speed.

Benefits

Schedule and Compensation

You are paid $20 to $23 per hour depending on experience. On top of that you keep all of your tips, which run around $10 a service, and you earn 10 percent commission on product you sell. At the top of that range, our busiest stylists often clear $40 or more an hour including tips on a full weekend book.

Saturday and Sunday run 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Every Saturday is ideal and most Saturdays works, so tell us what you can commit to. Friday runs 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons run 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, so there is room to build a fuller week if you want one. No late nights, ever.

Also included: specialized training for working with kids, paid sick time, an employee store discount, a flexible schedule, and real room to grow into senior and lead roles.
