Experienced Hair Stylist at Masa.Kanai

With two established locations on the Upper West Side, Masa.Kanai is a salon dedicated to technique, craftsmanship, and beauty. We are seeking an experienced stylist to join our team.

We are hoping for someone who can work at least Fridays and/or Saturdays, but we are flexible in scheduling. Full-time or Part-time can be possible.

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). For transparency, we have a popular stylist who is on maternity leave. As such, there is a gap in the staff schedule with room for a new stylist to quickly become busy. As the newest member, you will also be given a promotional period where any new client and no-request returns are prioritized to you.

What Makes Masa.Kanai Unique

At Masa.Kanai, we don't just cut hair. We unlock our clients' inner confidence. We are known for:

  • Our Signature Japanese Technique: A multi-step cutting process designed to enhance shape, detail, and longevity.
  • Custom-made Specialty Scissors: Handcrafted shears imported directly to our salon from Japan that elevate precise weight removal, purposeful texturing, cleaner lines, etc.
  • Advanced Education: Weekly practices in which every team member can individually learn and practice new skills and techniques at their own pace with our educators.

How to Apply

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 columbus@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.
