I had exactly the same problem but I placed an advert on our sheffield forum therefore I was wondering if there is an online forum for your area. I had a couple of replies but then found my present hairdresser but we may need to look for another in the next few months. Have to say though I nearly gave up on finding someone.
Good Luck!!

Hairdressing recruitment nightmare - 27-05-07, 01:45 AM

My hair & beauty salon has been going strong for 9 years now. It was a shock to learn that hairdressing recruitment was and still is a nightmare. I eventually ended up going Bulgaria to interview and employed a fantastic male Bulgarian (took 6 months to secure a work permit though!) I have started to take on one new apprentice each year in the hope we can keep an ongoing supply of new stylist among our experienced ones. We also work closely with the college to pick the best from each years graduates... of course this only works if you have the in-house expertise to help them along, if necessary.

If there are any good hairdressers out there looking for a great job... look us up!!!

Being a mother of teenagers, I have a lot of contact with teenagers and have to say the biggest moan from them is that everywhere they go to find a job, having worked very hard for their qualifications all they get is 'what experience do you have'
It is so nice to have someone not only say they take on newly good qualified peeps but also encouraging others to do it.
Thankyou

Why not try local colleges,ask the tutors for recomendations of level 1,2+3 students and invite them for an interveiw.

You probably want experience and i understand but maybe give them a chance

Hi

I have employed one hairdresser straight from college level 2 but as I am a beauty therapist I was abit worried about taking on another just qualifed hairdresser as i would of liked one hairdresser to be like a assistant manager with salon experience behind them but I think I might phone the local college and ask the tutor if they know anyone.
thanks for all of your help hopefully i will get there!!
