2025: Your Year to Land the Perfect Hairdressing Job
As 2024 comes to a close, now is the time to think about your career and plan for a brighter future. Whether you’re an experienced stylist wanting more flexibility or a fresh talent looking to grow, 2025 could be the year you find the job that truly works for you.
What Hair Professionals Really Want
Hairdressers want more than just a job—they want careers that align with their values and lifestyles. Earlier in the year, our survey demonstrated this by finding that:
72.5% want flexible hours to balance work with their personal lives.
71.1% prioritize a positive salon atmosphere and supportive workplace culture.
60.8% are seeking opportunities to grow and learn, whether through training or mentorship.
This shows that stylists don’t just want a job—they want careers that fit their lives and help them grow.
Why Finding the Right Job Can Be Tough
Even though many stylists dream of better opportunities, some barriers can make job hunting hard:
34.8% worry about losing flexibility in a new role.
19.1% fear they won’t earn as much, holding them back from taking the leap.
Others hesitate because they’re worried about leaving loyal clients or disappointing their current employer.
These challenges often make job hunting feel overwhelming, leading talented stylists to stay in roles that don’t serve their potential or their needs.
