Best Salon to Work For in Pompton Lakes NJ | The Warehouse Salon Careers
Pompton Lakes has that small-town downtown feel with a loyal local crowd, but the salon career opportunities there can be pretty limited. If you're a stylist or barber who wants more out of your work life, The Warehouse Salon in Fairfield is about 9 miles south on Route 23. More clients, more growth, more money, and a team that actually wants to see you succeed.

Here's the deal. There are a lot of decent salons scattered around Passaic County. But "decent" doesn't build a career. You need a salon with volume, with systems, with a team that helps you grow and a reputation that keeps clients walking through the door. That's what 20+ years in business gives us.
The Warehouse Salon has 1,372+ five-star reviews. Think about what that means for your book. Clients already trust us. They rebook. They refer their friends. You're not starting from zero. Our owner, Nick Mirabella, has 27+ years of experience and he still takes clients. He's not above any of it. He leads by doing, and the whole team benefits from that energy.
Here's the full picture:
- 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
Stylists and barbers at every level. If you've been working in Pompton Lakes or anywhere in northern Passaic County and you're ready for something bigger, let's talk. We also bring on assistants and apprentices who are just getting started. You'll learn hands-on from people who've been doing this for decades.
We're not interested in egos or attitudes. We want people who respect the craft, treat clients well, and want to be part of a team that has each other's backs. If that's you, you'll love it here.
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 Pompton Lakes
Pompton Lakes to Fairfield takes about 12-15 minutes. Take Route 23 South straight into Fairfield and turn onto Bloomfield Ave. That's it. One road, basically. Free parking at the salon, and the drive is easy morning and evening because you're going opposite to most commuter traffic heading toward the city.
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.
