Who We're Looking For
We're hiring licensed cosmetologists, barbers, assistants, and lash/brow techs. You don't need to be a senior stylist with 10 years on the books. Some of our best team members came in as assistants and worked their way up through our mentorship program. What we need is someone who cares about the craft and wants to keep getting better at it.
If you're in Caldwell and you've been thinking about making a change, this is your sign. The commute is short, the team is solid, and the opportunity is real.
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 Caldwell
Caldwell to Fairfield is 5 miles, about 12 minutes. Take Bloomfield Ave north straight to us, or hop on Passaic Ave to Route 46 if you prefer. Simple drive with no tolls and free parking at the salon. Most of our Caldwell team members say the commute barely registers. You're going north while everyone else is heading south toward the Parkway, so traffic is usually light.
How the Interview Process Actually Works
No ghosting. No trick questions. Here's exactly what happens:
- Fill out the application. Takes about 2 minutes on Typeform. We read every single one.
- 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.
We pay on commission structure, not chair rental. You focus on great work. We handle marketing, booking, product, and the overhead.

We've made it easy. Click the button, fill out a short application (2 minutes, seriously), and we'll call you within 48 hours. No games, no ghosting. Just a real conversation about whether this is the right fit for both of us.
