Could one of these salons offer the next step in your career?
T
aking the next step in your exciting career may well involve working for a salon. There are thousands of fantastic salons across the UK, but what do they offer their teams and how will they help you become the best hairdresser you can be? We asked a selection of top salons and salon groups what makes them great places to work.

e pride ourselves on offering a unique working environment. The salon is incredibly relaxed and team members are treated with respect and highly appreciated.
ON-GOING EDUCATION We hold weekly meetings and training sessions as a team where I take staff through different techniques and ideas that they can translate into their work. Apprentices get one-on-one training throughout the week. We are constantly taking advantage of the online training
seminars that our professional product brands offer.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES It’s so important for us to always provide support to the team and a clear path where they can progress up the career ladder and become better stylists. Appropriate support and guidance are given and meetings are put in place to chat to the stylists about their goals and where they want to go. If they need to work on a certain skill, appropriate learning and training is discussed and provided.
MOTIVATION Employees are left to do their job with freedom and trust, but with myself always there should they need any help or advice. When a team member has done something fantastic, bonuses and credit are always given.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR Individuals who are flexible, extremely passionate and have a love for their craft and for people.
