About the Role

G SIDHU TRANSPORT LIMITED, operating as BLADE & FADE BARBERS, is looking for Hairdressers to join its established salon in Auckland. This is a full-time, hands-on position based in Henderson, with between 32 and 40 hours available each week.

You’ll work directly with clients, discuss the look they want and provide hair and grooming services to match their needs. The role covers a broad range of salon work, from shampooing and scalp treatments to cutting, colouring, straightening, perming, braiding and extensions.

You’ll also handle men’s grooming, including beard and moustache trimming, while some duties involve cleaning, colouring, cutting and styling wigs and hairpieces. Keeping your workstation clean, sanitising tools, arranging appointments and managing payments are also part of the job.

The advertised rate is NZ$30–$36 per hour, depending on experience. The listing also identifies visa sponsorship as a benefit. However, it separately says applicants must be New Zealand citizens, residents or current work visa holders, so international applicants should confirm the employer’s current sponsorship position before relying on the visa information.

Primary Responsibilities

As a Hairdresser, you’ll provide practical salon services while helping clients choose styles that suit their needs. Your responsibilities include:

• Consulting with clients: Discuss what each client wants and understand their preferred hairstyle or grooming service.
• Giving hair-care advice: Recommend suitable hair-care products, styling options and treatments.
• Washing and conditioning: Shampoo hair, condition scalps and prepare clients for further services.
• Cutting hair: Use scissors, clippers and razors to create the requested haircut.
• Colouring hair: Apply colouring products and carry out colouring services according to client requirements.
• Chemical treatments: Straighten or permanently wave hair using appropriate chemical solutions.
• Braiding and extensions: Create dreadlocks and braids and apply hair extensions where required.
• Men’s grooming: Trim and shave beards and moustaches as part of the salon’s grooming services.
• Wig services: Clean, colour, cut and style wigs and other hairpieces.
• Salon hygiene: Keep work areas clean and sanitise instruments between services.
• Appointments and payments: Arrange appointments and handle client payments as required.

Qualifications

The employer keeps the formal entry requirements relatively straightforward. You don’t necessarily need several years of salon experience to apply, but you must meet the stated experience or education requirement.

• At least 6 months of relevant hairdressing experience, or graduation from a relevant programme.
• Ability to provide professional hairdressing and grooming services.
• Ability to communicate with clients and understand their styling requirements.
• Practical ability with scissors, clippers and razors.
• Knowledge of hair washing, conditioning and scalp treatment.
• Ability to carry out colouring, straightening and permanent waving services.
• Ability to style dreadlocks, braids and hair extensions.
• Ability to trim and shave beards and moustaches.
• Ability to maintain clean work areas and sanitise salon equipment.
• Ability to work in person as part of a salon team.

The listing doesn’t state that a specific New Zealand hairdressing qualification is mandatory. If your training was completed outside New Zealand, explain your qualification and practical experience clearly in your CV and cover letter.

Work Rights & Requirements

There is an important point to check before applying. The job advertisement says applicants must have the right to work in New Zealand and identifies New Zealand citizens, residents or current work visa holders as eligible applicants.

At the same time, the listing includes visa sponsorship among the job’s benefits. Because these two statements can create different expectations for overseas applicants, don’t assume that the sponsorship reference means the employer will sponsor someone who is currently outside New Zealand.

If you’re already in New Zealand on a work visa, make your current visa status clear in your application. If you’re applying from overseas and require a new employer-sponsored visa, contact the employer first and ask whether sponsorship is currently available for this particular vacancy.

You should also confirm any New Zealand immigration requirements that apply to your occupation and circumstances before making travel or relocation plans.

Job Snapshot

What’s on Offer

• NZ$30–$36 hourly pay: Your rate will depend on your experience and suitability for the role.
• 32–40 hours: The advertised position provides a full-time schedule within this weekly range.
• Visa sponsorship: Sponsorship is listed among the advertised benefits, although applicants should confirm the exact sponsorship arrangement.
• Established salon: You’ll join BLADE & FADE BARBERS, an established Auckland salon serving local clients.
• Wide range of services: The job gives you the opportunity to work across cutting, colouring, chemical treatments, braiding, extensions, grooming and wig styling.
• Client-facing work: You’ll deal directly with customers, discuss their needs and provide personalised hair-care and styling services.
• Practical salon environment: The position is performed in person rather than remotely.
• Free drinks: The advertisement lists free drinks among the available benefits.

The listing doesn’t specify accommodation, flights, relocation payments, health insurance or a guaranteed immigration package. Don’t assume these benefits are included unless the employer confirms them directly.

Visa Sponsorship & Relocation

The vacancy lists visa sponsorship as a benefit, which may be relevant if you’re looking for a hairdressing job that could provide immigration support in New Zealand. However, the same advertisement says applicants must have the right to work in New Zealand and identifies citizens, residents and current work visa holders.

That distinction matters if you’re applying from outside New Zealand. Before spending money on travel, document processing or relocation, ask the employer whether they are currently prepared to sponsor an overseas applicant for this exact Hairdresser position.

If sponsorship is available, ask which visa pathway applies, whether the employer is able to support the application and which costs, if any, the employer will cover. You should also confirm the expected start date and whether your current qualifications and experience meet the employer’s requirements.

Important: Visa sponsorship appearing in a job advertisement doesn’t automatically mean that every overseas applicant qualifies for a visa. Immigration approval depends on the applicable New Zealand rules and your individual circumstances.

Who This Job Suits

This opportunity may suit a hairdresser who wants full-time salon work in Auckland and is comfortable handling both hairdressing and grooming services. It’s also relevant if you have experience with braids, dreadlocks, extensions, men’s grooming or wigs and hairpieces.

The advertised minimum is relatively accessible: you need at least 6 months of relevant experience or graduation. If you’ve recently completed suitable training, explain the qualification and practical skills you developed.

If you’re applying internationally, make your CV practical and easy to assess. List your experience, training, specific services you can perform and your current New Zealand work-right status. If you require sponsorship, state that clearly rather than leaving the employer to guess.
