Apply NowWhy Stylists Choose The Warehouse Salon
There's a reason stylists from across North Jersey end up at The Warehouse, and it's not because we ran a flashy ad. People hear about us from other stylists. Word gets around when a salon actually treats its team well, pays fairly, and keeps the chairs full.
Nick Mirabella started this salon with a simple idea: build the kind of place he'd want to work at. Over 20 years and 27+ years behind the chair later, that's exactly what it is. A team of 20+ stylists, 1,372+ five-star reviews, and a culture that makes people want to stay. Not many salons near Verona can say that.
What you're walking into:
- 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
Real Training, Real Certifications, Real Growth
Our team doesn't learn from YouTube. We invest in the kind of education that actually moves your career forward. Built-in to your schedule, not something you pay for on your day off.
Brand-Certified Training
Olaplex Certified. K18 Expert trained. Keune advanced color. Brazilian Blowout certified smoothing. Moroccanoil Ambassador program. We bring the educators in.
Advanced Techniques
Lived-in balayage, seamless hand-tied extensions, color correction, precision razor cuts, men's fade theory. The skills that actually separate a stylist from a technician.
Mentorship From Working Pros
Nicholas Mirabella still works behind the chair 5 days a week. So does every senior stylist. You learn from people who are doing the work, not managing from a desk.
A Career Path That Moves
Assistant, junior stylist, senior stylist, master stylist, educator. Every level has clear standards, pay increases, and support to move up. You aren't stuck at entry-level forever.
The People You'd Be Working With
This team is the reason clients drive from all over North Jersey. You'd be joining real pros who've built their craft over decades. A few of them:
- Nicholas Mirabella — Owner and Creative Director. 27 years behind the chair. Educator, mentor, and the reason this team culture exists.
- Ann Alfano — Senior Stylist, 9+ years. Fantasy color, updos, event styling.
- Jessica LaFerrara — Color Specialist, 5+ years. Color correction, creative technique, ongoing brand education.

- Dan Madonna — Master Barber. Fades, beard work, hot towel shaves. The go-to for men's grooming in the area.
Who We're Looking For
Stylists, barbers, colorists, assistants. If you work in the beauty industry and you're not happy where you are, that's enough of a reason to reach out. We don't need you to have 10 years of experience or a massive Instagram following. We need you to be good at what you do, willing to learn, and ready to show up every day.
If you're still in cosmetology school or recently licensed, even better. Our apprenticeship program is real. You'll learn from people who've been doing this for a long time and actually enjoy teaching.
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 Verona
Verona to Fairfield is one of the easiest drives in Essex County. About 12-15 minutes. Take Bloomfield Ave west or hop on Route 23 North to Route 46 West. Either way, it's a quick, simple commute. Free parking lot right at the salon, so you're not dealing with street parking or meters.
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.
