A little more about the opportunity and Haircraft.
- Our apprentices have either been employed by our salon at the conclusion of their apprenticeship or received stylist jobs elsewhere. The skills you learn here take your cosmetology education and put it to use in a safe, supportive, fun environment.
- Hair is fun and this is a fabulous industry to be in but it is also serious business as hairprofessionals we know when to flip the switch from fun and games to game-on and so should you. bring a friendly, positive, professional attitude and you’ll do well.
- When assisting the owner, she’ll need your help to keep on track and on time for when each guest arrives. the beauty business is amazing but it is also a lot of work so multi-tasking and self-direction is a must. organizational skills are important when you’re working on your own too! they help to keep things tidy and not interrupt the flow for others using the space as well.
