Aprils Hair Salon Group is recruiting talent across the entire spectrum of salon operations, welcoming both experienced professionals and ambitious newcomers.

1. Senior and Intermediate Stylists

We are seeking stylists with established expertise in advanced cutting, creative colouring (balayage, foiling), and precision styling.

Senior roles involve mentoring junior staff, leading by example in client consultation, and achieving high levels of client retention.

We offer competitive salaries and attractive commission structures tied to performance and retail sales.

For artists passionate about chemical services, we offer specialized roles focusing exclusively on colour correction, complex transformations, and innovative techniques.

Colour Specialists drive the premium, high-value services that define our brand, requiring constant education and technical precision.

Opportunities exist for experienced leaders to manage the day-to-day operations of our individual salons.

Salon Managers are responsible for staff coaching, financial oversight, maintaining Aprils service standards, and fostering a positive, professional team culture.

These roles are crucial to our success and come with advanced leadership training and rewarding compensation.

4. Apprentices and Emerging Talent

Aprils is dedicated to shaping the next generation of hair professionals through structured apprenticeship programs.

Our apprentices work under the direct mentorship of senior stylists, receiving hands-on training, formal education support, and early exposure to premium clientele and products.

We provide a supportive learning environment designed to fast-track your skills and career progression within the Aprils network.

III. The Aprils Culture: Supporting Your Best Life

We recognize that professional success must be balanced with personal well-being.

The culture at Aprils is one of mutual respect, teamwork, and genuine support.

1. Focus on Work-Life Balance

We strive to offer flexible scheduling options and guaranteed off-time, ensuring our staff can recharge and maintain a healthy life outside the salon.

Our efficient booking and operational systems are designed to minimize administrative overload, ensuring your time at work is spent primarily on billable services and client care.

2. Ethical and Compliant Operations

As a major national employer, Aprils is fully committed to ethical employment practices and strict compliance with New Zealand labor laws, including the Holidays Act and Minimum Wage requirements.

You can work with confidence, knowing your rights are respected and your employment conditions are fair and transparent.

This reliability is a key differentiator from smaller, less regulated employers.
