Best Salon to Work For in Totowa NJ | The Warehouse Salon Careers
Totowa stylists, listen up. You're 3 miles from a salon that actually treats its team like professionals, not replaceable parts. The Warehouse Salon in Fairfield is the kind of place where people build real careers, not just fill a chair until something better comes along. And the drive? Shorter than your lunch break.
Apply NowWhy Stylists Choose The Warehouse Salon
Here's the thing about working at a salon with 1,372+ five-star reviews: you never have to worry about empty slots in your schedule. Our clients are loyal. They book ahead. They refer their friends. That's the difference between working at a place with a reputation and working at a place that's still trying to build one.
Nick Mirabella started this salon over 20 years ago and he's still cutting hair every week. That tells you everything you need to know about the culture. Nobody here thinks they're too good to sweep up hair or help a teammate during a rush. We've got 20+ stylists on the team and every single one of them would tell you the same thing: this place is different.
Training isn't something we do once a year at some hotel conference room. It's built into how we operate. Moroccanoil, Olaplex, K18, Keune. We bring in educators, we practice new techniques, and we keep getting better. If you've been feeling stagnant in Totowa, this is your way out of that rut.

Who We're Looking For
Whether you've been doing hair for 15 years or you just got your license, we want to hear from you. We're hiring licensed cosmetologists, barbers, salon assistants, and lash/brow specialists. The only things we really require are a good attitude and the desire to keep improving. Everything else, we can teach.
If you've been at a salon where the energy is off, where people gossip more than they work, you know how draining that gets. We built something different here and we protect that energy. You'll feel it the first time you walk in.
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 Totowa
Totowa to The Warehouse Salon is roughly 3 miles and about 7 minutes in the car. Take Riverview Drive to Route 46 West, or cut through on Union Blvd to Bloomfield Ave. Either way it's quick and painless. Free parking right at our door, no meters, no garage fees. If you've ever commuted into Paterson or Newark for work, you'll wonder why you didn't make this switch sooner.
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.
