Senior Hairdresser and 1st Year Apprentice
WE'RE HIRING: Senior Hairdresser with 5+ Years' Experience, and 1st Year Apprentice.
Immediate start
Ready to work somewhere that respects your skill, honors your time, and keeps your creativity alive?
Real Sonder is seeking an exceptional Senior Stylist and 1st Year apprentice to join our team.
As Senior, you're someone who's been on the floor for years, knows your way around advanced colour techniques, and still finds joy in the craft.
If you're ready to be part of a salon that values mastery, individuality, and work-life balance — we'd love to meet you.
What's in it for you:
A respectful, experienced team that collaborates and supports each other
Actual WEEKENDS OFF!!! — yes, your Saturdays and Sundays are yours
A loyal clientele and an inspiring, boutique salon environment
The freedom to explore editorial, education, or leadership pathways
Ongoing education that's tailored to you — not just a box to tick
The chance to work behind the scenes at Fashion Weeks and creative shoots
Space to share your expertise and mentor junior staff if you wish
We're looking for someone who:




Has at least 5 years' experience as a qualified stylist
Must hold a Certificate III in Hairdressing or equivalent recognized qualification
Is highly confident in all current colour techniques — blonding, balayage, creative colour, corrections, and more
Is familiar with L'Oréal Professional colour and retail (a bonus, not a deal breaker)
Takes pride in accurate cutting and delivering consistently excellent results
Communicates clearly, connects with clients, and enjoys building long-term relationships
Is looking for a salon that prioritizes quality over quantity and creativity over ego
Must have Australian work rights to be eligible for this position
At Real Sonder, we blend skill and soul.
We're not a high-churn salon.
We create lasting impact through artistry, care, and connection.
Let's create work you're proud of — in a space where you're seen, supported, and never just a number.
No ego, no chaos, just great hair, good people, and a space you'll enjoy being part of.
