Hours: 4 or 5 days per week – to be discussed. Must hold HP/NVQL2 or above. You will be required to take part in our TONI&GUY Vardering program whilst adapting to the managerial role and building clients. This will require you to work 5 days a week at the start of your employment, but this can be evaluated after 6 months to go to the 4 day a week option should you require it.

There is a bonus based on performance/targets which can only be set/started once fully vardered and back in the salon completely. There is also retail, treatment commissions plus (not guaranteed) £100-£700 per month in tips once qualified.
