Senior Hairdresser / Stylist & Apprentice (2nd–3rd Year) — Braddon, Canberra

✨ Love What You Do. Do What You Love.

Join Hair Avenue, where you "Come for the services & Stay for the Experience". ✨

Location: The heart of Braddon — surrounded by the best coffee and food in Canberra.

Hair Avenue is one of Canberra's top-rated salons (4.9 stars on Google from 180+ reviews and counting) and a proud Wella Professional partner salon. We're known for premium colour work, beautifully tailored cuts, a relaxing, luxurious fitout, and a loyal, growing clientele that appreciates quality — see for yourself at hairavenue.com.au. Due to our growth, we're looking for two people to grow with us:

1. Senior Stylist (Full Time / Part Time — casual considered)

2. Apprentice Hairdresser — 2nd year onwards

We aren't just looking for staff; we're looking for partners in our success.

💚 WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE

• Busy books, lovely clients — We're growing fast, so you'll walk into real demand and a loyal, easy-going clientele that trusts their stylist — not an empty column you have to build from scratch. And with card-on-file bookings and enforced no-show fees, your time actually gets respected.

• Real education — In-salon training plus access to Wella Professional education. We work with Koleston Perfect ME+, Blondor, SmoothFiller and Nanoplasty, so you're learning on — and working with — premium product every day.

• A space you'll be proud of — One of the most beautiful fitouts in Canberra and the best-equipped salon in Braddon: state-of-the-art tools, massage chairs at every basin, and the best coffee and lunch spots at your door.

• Independent & owner-led — No franchise rules, no corporate KPIs. Hair Avenue is proudly women-owned, and you'll work directly with Kelly, our owner and creative director. Quick decisions, real input, ideas that actually get heard.

• Zero drama, high support — A fun, proudly inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly team culture where we genuinely look after each other.

• The perks — Free hair services (you're our best advertisement!), a roster that respects your life, and a proper two-day break every single week — we're closed Sundays and Mondays.

✨ ROLE 1: SENIOR STYLIST (FT / PT / Casual)

• You: a fully qualified hairdresser with 3+ years on the floor, confident across cutting and colour — balayage, foils, all-over colour, the lot

• The role: a stable column in a beautiful salon, with your creativity backed by premium products and a steady flow of clients

• The pay: bring the skills and the pay packet will match

What you'll be doing:

• Running your column end to end — consultations that make clients feel heard, colour formulation, cutting, styling and finishing

• Delivering the full colour menu — balayage, foils, all-over colour and corrections, plus smoothing services (SmoothFiller and Nanoplasty — we'll train you up on anything new to you)

• Building and rebooking your own clientele — lovely regulars who'll become yours

Perfect for: the career stylist ready for a raise, a better environment, and a busier column.

✨ ROLE 2: APPRENTICE HAIRDRESSER (2ND YEAR ONWARDS)

Already partway through your Cert III in Hairdressing but not getting the training, floor time, or support you deserve? Come finish your apprenticeship somewhere that actually invests in you.

• Real training: work directly under Master Stylists in a small senior team — no queueing for practice time

• Real skills: hands-on colour and cutting, not just basins and sweeping, plus access to Wella Professional education

• Real future: your work featured on our socials to build your portfolio, a simple apprenticeship transfer, and a stylist chair waiting for you when you qualify

• The pay: above award — we don't do bare minimums

What you'll be doing:

• Supporting the team on the floor — basins, blow-dries, and colour application under guidance

• Looking after clients like guests — greetings, drinks, the little touches that make us us

• Keeping up your Cert III coursework — we'll work around your TAFE/RTO days

• Helping keep the salon looking as good as the hair leaving it

Perfect for: a 2nd or 3rd year apprentice who's serious about becoming a great stylist, faster.
