Stylist

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in hair styling and a commitment to providing exceptional customer service. As a Stylist, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality hair services while creating a welcoming and positive environment for clients. Your expertise in various techniques, including hair extensions (bonus but not required), color theory, and barbering, will help enhance our clients' beauty and confidence.

(Reach out even if lacking these skills as I am also looking to train a newer stylist.)

I am looking to hire a few main stylists for my beautiful new high-end salon opening here in East Hampton. Must work well with others, maintain professionalism — no gossiping or cattiness — and want your coworkers to succeed just as much as you. This location has very high foot traffic and this job is commission-based, not hourly, with the option to rent a chair if you'd prefer over commission.
