We currently have a position available for a apprentice hairdresser to join our incredible team

Are you an apprentice hairdresser or interested in becoming one?

Maybe now is your time to shine as an apprentice hairdresser and join our skilled and vibrant team in Hobart at Eye Am Hair.

  • Great location [filled with endorphin-releasing natural light and a lush array of indoor plants] at Red Square, Macquarie point.

  • Great work/life balance within a supportive + friendly work environment. Flexible work arrangements.

  • You'll be working alongside a team of hairdressers who are masters of their game and highly trained curl specialists.

  • Extensive and comprehensive training and possibilities.

  • Become a curly hair specialist (already one? that's an added bonus).

  • Above award wages and commissions.

  • Continuous training and mentoring (because life-long learning is key).

About us:

We're a boutique salon team of 12 who are a little eccentric, up-to-date with the latest trends and open to alternative concepts of what hairdressing can be. Part of supporting our clients includes making them feel welcomed and providing them with an exceptional experience, and so this will be your point-of-difference, i.e. can you help people feel at ease, pick-up on client cues and thrive in an environment that is busy, yet calm?

We are in the midst of a rapid growth period, and are subsequently looking to onboard our next appentice hairdresser. Our salon is a toxic free, inclusive, vegan and environmentally sustainable business.

More about you:

You love hair! You love people! You love getting dressed up and being part of a dynamic, fun and diverse team. You are ready to kick-start your career in hairdressing and embark on an exciting journey of learning and growth… all while embracing doing things a little bit differently.

A few words you would describe yourself could be: confident, creative, personable, individual, weird, wonderful… you don’t really fit in the norm!

You are a great listener, you are caring, you want to do more than just cut hair! You want to innovate change in the hair and beauty industry.

More about the role:

In the role of Apprentice Hairdresser, you'll be trained in the salon in all things Eye Am Hair, from cutting curly and straight hair, to styling, to weddings, to colour and highlights. Over the years with us, you will start your training through assisting our expert hairdressers, and eventually having your own clients to work your magic on.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Assist senior stylists with various tasks, including washing hair, blow-drying, applying colour and foils.

  • Basic administration tasks such as answering the phone, emailing, checking our salon software and booking new clients in.

  • Greeting each client and making tea, coffee or a welcome drink.

  • Provide excellent customer service by attending to clients' needs and ensuring their comfort throughout their salon experience.

  • Maintain cleanliness and organisation within the salon, including sweeping hair, wiping down benches, general cleaning and organisation of equipment and workstations.

  • Continuously develop skills and knowledge through on-the-job training and educational courses.

  • Strong attention to detail and creativity

  • Love and passion for natural hair and/or embracing change.

We're ready for you to start immediately. Hours are negotiable for the successful candidate, because work-life balance is incredibly important to us!

More about Eye Am Hair:

Eye Am Hair was born as a result of founder and director Chelsea De Main’s love of hairdressing, distaste for conforming to the norm, and a desire to change how we can experience hairdressing and self-care. Eye Am Hair challenges the typical mainstream salon environments by rejecting non-essential standards for operation. A caravan salon is the perfect place to decentralise hairdressing culture and appeal to people who like to do things a little differently.
