Now hiring Salon Assistants/Apprentices & Senior Stylists

What you’ll get:

• Hands-on training with some of Perth’s most in-demand stylists.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Are ready to learn our systems and be part of a team that backs each other.

Role: Senior Colourist/Stylist (Cutters welcome too)

You are:

• Positive, professional, and build rapport easily with clients and teammates.

• A colour lover who can also cut foundational haircuts (or a strong Cutter/Stylist — we’re open to both).

• Confident consulting, recommending solutions, and finishing clients strong.

• Eager to learn our signature brand techniques so your results are consistent and on-brand. We love beautiful blondes, brunettes and lived in colours.

Requirements:

• Cert III in Hairdressing

• Strong self-presentation and communication.

• Reliability, initiative, and pride in your work.

Why Stylists love The Nest

• 4-day work week for real work/life balance (minimum 3 days).

• Rotational Saturdays off — and you can trade Saturdays with the team so you never miss the important stuff.

• Closed over Christmas.

• Free hair upkeep + cost-price products.

• Excellent hourly rate + simple profit share commissions that grow with you to create your dream payslips and know you are being paid well for your hard work.

• A large, loyal clientele ready to meet their new stylist.

• Photoshoot & education opportunities (including support if you want to teach).

• Our own haircare brand and extension range — always something new to be part of.

• Travel opportunities and event work.

• A genuinely supportive, no-ego team culture. The most common thing new hires and clients say: “I can’t believe how nice everyone is here.”

• And yes — the salon is stunning. We even have a Velvet Lounge/Bar for client and staff drinks.
