freelance senior stylist

We’re on the hunt for a seriously good stylist to join our team at Donna Sheridan.  

To win you over, we could tell you that you’ll be working in a supportive freelance environment, in a beautiful, light-filled Salon, where you’ll have access to the time and resources you need to elevate your career. We could also let you know that our clientele is a community of brilliant, friendly people who come to us for our one-on-one service, and our commitment to great, everyday hair.

We could even seal the deal by saying that you’ll really enjoy coming to work, and being amongst some of Melbourne’s most talented creatives. That we’re hairdressers who care, and who achieve the best results—without the ego. But we won’t go into that detail. Instead, we’d like to hear from you.
