Hello! We are a busy Brooklyn salon in need of a Salon assistant/ client coordinator.
Salon Assistant Job:
We are looking to hire two assistants total, with the goal of scheduling one person per day. Shifts are from 1:00–7:30 (or 8:30) on weekdays and 12:00–6:30 on Saturdays and Sundays. Pay is $20/hour. You must be licensed in cosmetology.
As an assistant we will train you to do root touchups and shampoo and blowdries, so your work will be very hands on with the clients. Your role will include answering the occasional phone call or text clients back on our booking system. You will help book appointments, sweep, do general salon cleaning, clean color bowls, laundry, fold salon towels, and greet and help clients buy product and pay for their services.
We are a laid-back, talented team of ladies and non-binary folks with lovely clients and a Brooklyn-sized, beautiful space. Our salon is one floor up, off the street level so it is safe at night. We are a very fast paced salon, so there will be little down time during your 6-7 hour shift, though you will get a 30 min break within that time.
