Job Description

SENIOR HAIR STYLIST FOR A LUXURY BRAND-KNYSNA/PLETT
not just a salon -- it's a style destination. Known for high standards, sophisticated aesthetics, and a vision tied closely to the local luxury and wedding market, we're looking for stylists who are ready to build something special with us. With our second branch launching in Knysna this October, we're expanding the team and looking for talent ready to take ownership, lead with creativity, and help define the next era of Saint Marks.
Who We're Looking For
We're ideally looking for a stylist to bring a bit of edge and contrast to the team, but this is not a strict requirement -- talent, personality, and professionalism come first.
This is not a junior position. We are looking for senior stylists who go beyond the basics -- artists who understand trends, client care, and what it takes to create an experience, not just a service.

• Build relationships with clients and help grow a loyal base
• Uphold the aesthetic and values of the Saint Marks brand

• Formal qualification in hairdressing/styling (Diploma or equivalent)
• At least five years of salon experience as a stylist
• Strong client-facing communication skills
• Ability to work independently and show initiative
• Passion for weddings, fashion, and trend-driven styling
• Leadership or management experience in a salon setting is a bonus

• Competitive, negotiable salary based on experience and current earnings
• Opportunity for profit share
• Housing or relocation support (to be discussed with candidates)
• Be part of the launch team for our new salon in Knysna
• Scope to grow into a leadership or management position
