£37.50 per working day | 4-5 days per week | Self-employed
Are you an experienced hairdresser with your own clientele who wants the freedom to build your own business within a professional, creative and supportive salon environment?
Ours | Creative Studio is looking for an experienced self-employed hair stylist to join our growing studio in the heart of Wakefield city centre.
This isn't simply a chair in a salon.
It's an opportunity to build your own hair business, with the facilities, environment, visibility and support of a growing creative studio behind you.
Your business. Your clients. Your way.
As a self-employed stylist at Ours, you have the freedom to:
- Bring and retain your own clientele
- Set your own service prices
- Manage your own bookings
- Build your own brand and reputation
- Develop your own specialisms and services
Full-time chair rental - £37.50 per working day
Our full-time rate is based on a commitment of 4-5 days per week.
And importantly, we believe you should actually take a holiday.
Our full-time rental calculation is structured around 47 working weeks per year, allowing for five weeks of annual leave.
We don't expect you to work 52 weeks of the year. We want independent professionals at Ours to build successful businesses that work alongside their lives, not businesses that take over their lives.
Part-time and lower-frequency rental options are also available at a different daily rate. Please contact us to discuss your preferred working pattern.
What's included?
Your chair rental includes access to:
- Professional hairdressing workstation
- Backwash facilities
- A range of professional Kevin.Murphy backwash products
- Kevin.Murphy masques
- Towels and Professional laundry service
- Client refreshment facilities
- Access to Kevin.Murphy products at cost price
- 10% commission on all salon retail product sales
- Additional Kevin.Murphy product incentives when retail targets are achieved
- Complimentary parking for full-time stylists
- Excellent public transport connections
- Affordable parking options nearby
We're directly behind Wakefield Bus Station and close to both Wakefield Westgate and Wakefield Kirkgate railway stations.
Support when you want it
Self-employment doesn't mean you have to figure everything out alone.
At Ours, we want to support independent professionals in building their businesses.
Depending on what you need, this can include:
Booking systems
Already have one? Great! Need help getting started? We can provide support and access to discounts towards setting up your own booking system.
Marketing & social media
You'll have opportunities to benefit from Ours' social media presence and promotional activity.
Community events
We regularly create community events, collaborations and initiatives designed to increase awareness of Ours and the professionals working here.
Education
Our studio can also be used for small-group education, workshops and training. If you're an established stylist who wants to develop an education side of your business and increase your earnings, there may be opportunities to use the space.
Why join a growing studio?
Ours is a startup creative studio in its second year of business.
Since opening, our client base and revenue have almost doubled, and we're continuing to grow.
We're constantly investing in marketing, content, community events, collaborations and new ideas to put Ours in front of more people.
That creates an exciting opportunity for the right stylist.
You can grow your business alongside a studio that is growing too.
Rather than joining a long-established salon where the existing clientele may already be divided between established stylists, you have the opportunity to build your own presence alongside an ambitious independent studio.
Who are we looking for?
We're looking for an experienced, qualified and insured hairdresser with an established clientele.
You'll ideally be someone who:
- Has solid professional experience
- Already has an existing client base
- Is confident working independently
- Takes pride in their work and client experience
- Is professional, reliable and respectful
- Wants to grow their own business
- Has a particular specialism or area of expertise
Currently working somewhere else? We completely understand.
You might currently be employed in another salon, renting elsewhere, or simply exploring your options.
Every enquiry is completely confidential.
You can contact us privately, ask questions and arrange an informal studio visit without any obligation to proceed.
If you're looking for a professional home for your growing hair business in Wakefield, we'd love to meet you.
