The Role
With two established locations on the Upper West Side, Masa.Kanai is a Japanese salon dedicated to technique, craftmanship, and beauty. We are seeking an experienced stylist to join our team. Ideal schedule would be Fridays, Saturdays, and/or Sundays. Less or more days can be possible if it is a good match.
At Masa.Kanai, we don't just cut hair. We unlock our client's inner confidence. We are known for:
- Our Signature Technique: A multi-step cutting process designed to enhance shape, detail, and longevity.
- Custom, Patented Japanese Scissors: Handcrafted shears imported directly to our salon that elevates precise weight removal, purposeful texturing, cleaner lines, etc.
- Advanced Education: Weekly practices in which every team member can individually learn and practice new skills & techniques at their own pace with our educators
Even with two locations, we are often fully booked and turning away guests. As such, there is strong potential to build clientele and earn a lot with a commission-based salary + gratuity (where barber cuts average $90 and standard cuts average $170). As a new stylist, you will also be given a promotional period where any new client and no-request returns are prioritized to you.
Whether or not you already have a following, this is a place where dedication and skill are quickly recognized. If interested in discussing more, please email us with both your resume and portfolio (or link) at info@masa-kanai.com to be considered. Please do not call the salon.
Please note that a minimum of 4x 1-hour sessions to practice our signature technique will be required before we can start you on the floor.
