Senior Stylist

Here is what this Hamilton salon is really hiring for. On paper it is a full-time Senior Stylist role in New Zealand; in practice the employer wants a stylist who can deliver cutting and colour transformations for a varied clientele and turn those clients into regulars. Worth noting for overseas candidates: the business holds Immigration New Zealand accreditation to hire on the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV), the employer sponsorship route there.

From a recruiter's point of view, a few things will make your application stand out. Show the range of your cutting and colouring rather than just naming services. Explain how you have run and kept your own column. And give a sense of how you contribute to a team, because this full-service salon talks about an uplifting, positive culture and wants a senior who adds to it.
