Hair Salon Assistant

We don’t care if you’ve never held a pair of scissors.
We care if you can hold your own in a fast-paced, people-filled day.

At Cello, we’re on the hunt for a casual salon assistant — but here’s the twist: this role isn’t just for “hair people.” Some of our best team members are students, come from cafés, retail floors, and places where things get busy, messy, and fun.

So if you’ve ever:

Been a student looking to do something different and creative in your spare time

Juggled five coffee orders while someone asked for oat, almond, and “just a splash”

Dealt with customers who were… let’s say “memorable”

Kept your cool while everything around you was slightly chaotic

…you might fit right in.

What you’ll actually be doing:

Keeping the salon looking sharp (yes, cleanliness matters — we’re not animals)

Helping our stylists stay on track and stress-free

Making clients feel welcome, comfortable, and maybe even a little bit special

Learning the ins and outs of the hair world (without being thrown in the deep end)

No experience? Perfect.
We’re more interested in attitude than a résumé full of buzzwords.

You’ll do well here if you:

Notice things before you’re asked (like an empty coffee cup or a messy station)

Bring good energy — the kind people actually enjoy being around

Can handle a busy environment without losing your mind (or your sense of humour)

Secretly (or not-so-secretly) think the hair industry could be your thing

What’s in it for you:

A team that has high standards but doesn’t take itself too seriously

Skills you can actually take somewhere (this isn’t a dead-end gig)

A workplace where you’re treated like a human, not “just the assistant”

If you’re currently a student in any field, or work in hospitality, retail, or just tired of a job that feels like Groundhog Day — this could be your upgrade.
