What Makes a Role Your “Dream Role” in the Hair Industry?

Flexible hours that suit your lifestyle
A team culture where you feel supported
The chance to mentor others or keep learning
More creative freedom and long-term growth
This guide helps you get clear on what matters to you so you can recognise the right role when it appears. Or better yet, go after it with purpose.
How to Stand Out in a Competitive Market
Most hair stylists aren’t taught how to build a strong CV or showcase their portfolio in a way that truly reflects their talent. You’re creative, hands-on, and client-focused. But that doesn’t always come across on paper.
Inside the guide, you’ll learn how to:
Write clear, punchy CV bullet points
Highlight your strengths in a clean, simple layout
Build a portfolio that supports your application
Whether you’re applying for senior roles or exploring junior hairdresser jobs, your CV and portfolio should always show what makes you different. It’s too good an opportunity to miss!
Confident Interviews and Trial Days
Interviews and trial shifts don’t need to be intimidating. With the right prep, they’re a chance to show your personality and assess if the salon fits your goals too. treat them like an opportunity instead of a chore.
The guide includes:
Questions to ask during interviews
Trial day checklists
Advice on following up without the awkwardness
