COLOUR COSMETICA | HAIRDRESSING SALON & BEAUTY CLINIC | ADELAIDE EAST END

Hairdressing experience preferred

Shortcuts experience highly desirable

More than a position. Help shape our culture.

We are not looking for someone who simply fills a roster or runs an appointment book. We are looking for a natural leader who takes pride in what they do, sees opportunities, follows through and genuinely wants to help build a thriving business and an exceptional team.

At Colour Cosmetica, we value initiative, creativity, high standards, professionalism and people who care about the details. We want someone who leads by example, brings positive energy to the salon and inspires others to deliver their best—without needing to be constantly directed.

If you take ownership, love creating outstanding client experiences and get satisfaction from seeing your team and business grow, we would love to meet you.

About Colour Cosmetica

Colour Cosmetica is a fashion-forward hairdressing salon and advanced beauty clinic in Adelaide’s vibrant East End. We combine beautiful hair, healthy skin, technical expertise and personalised service in a contemporary, creative environment. Our salon and clinic are part of a broader culture of artistry, education and professional growth.

- Build client relationships, support consultations, encourage rebooking and strengthen client retention.

- Monitor service, retail, rebooking and other agreed KPIs; report results and identify opportunities for improvement.

- Oversee front desk, telephone and digital enquiries, payments, daily reconciliation, inventory and stock presentation.

- Maintain outstanding salon presentation, hygiene,



professionalism and operational standards.

- Work closely with the Directors, communicate proactively and put agreed priorities into action.

Who will thrive here

- An experienced salon manager, senior salon coordinator or qualified hairdresser ready to lead.

- A self-starter who takes responsibility and brings ideas—not just problems.

- A confident but approachable leader who builds trust, gives feedback and follows through.
