When you work in a small town, it's easy to feel like you're capped. There are only so many clients, only so many services, and the salon you're at might not have the resources to help you grow. That's the reality for a lot of stylists in the Boonton area.
The Warehouse Salon is different. We've been at this for 20+ years, and our 1,372+ five-star reviews prove that clients in this part of New Jersey trust us. That means full books, consistent income, and the freedom to focus on your craft instead of worrying about where your next client is coming from. Nick Mirabella, our owner, has 27+ years of experience and still works the floor. This is a real salon, run by a real stylist.
What the job includes:
- Supportive team culture, not competitive drama
- Continuing education and advanced training built into the schedule
- Full booking support so you're not scrambling for clients
- Top-tier professional products (Moroccanoil, Olaplex, K18, Keune, and more)
- 1,372+ five-star reviews means clients trust us and keep coming back
- Flexible scheduling that works with your life
- A real career path, not just a chair rental

Who We're Looking For
We need stylists, barbers, colorists, and assistants. Your experience level matters way less than your attitude. If you're hungry, teachable, and you genuinely care about doing good work, you're our kind of person. New grads welcome. Veterans of the industry welcome. Everyone in between, also welcome.
Boonton stylists who are used to a tight-knit environment will appreciate the vibe here. We're a big team, but it doesn't feel corporate. It feels like a family that actually gets along.
Open Positions
Hairstylist / Colorist
Full-time or part-time. Work with clients who actually value what you do. Color, cuts, styling, extensions, smoothing treatments. You bring the talent, we bring the clients and the tools.
Barber
Fades, tapers, beard work, the whole lineup. Our barbering section is growing and we need good hands. Men's grooming is a big part of what we do here.
Salon Assistant / Apprentice
Just starting out or still in school? We train from the ground up. Real mentorship from stylists who've been doing this for decades, not just a YouTube education.
Lash & Brow Specialist
Lash lifts, brow lamination, tinting, lip blushing. If beauty services are your thing, we have the space and the clients for you.
Easy Commute from Boonton
Boonton to Fairfield is a quick 15-minute drive. Take Route 287 South to Route 46 East, or just take the back roads through Montville. Either way, it's a smooth, no-stress commute. Free parking right outside the salon. No tolls, no highway madness.
How the Interview Process Actually Works
No ghosting. No trick questions. Here's exactly what happens:

- We reach out within 48 hours. If you're a fit, Nick or a senior team member sets up a time to meet.
- Come in for a real conversation. Tour the salon, meet the team, talk about your goals. No pop quiz.
- Technical walkthrough if it makes sense. For stylists, we may ask you to show us a cut or color technique. No pressure, no gotcha.
- Offer or honest feedback either way. If it's not a fit, we tell you why. If it is, you'll have a clear picture of pay, hours, and growth path before you say yes.
