    What We're Looking For

    We’re not the right shop for everyone — and that’s intentional.

    A Good Fit

    • Takes pride in high-quality, precision cuts.
    • Punctual, reliable, and professional.
    • Communicates well and contributes to a positive shop culture.
    • Wants to build a long-term clientele and career.

    Not A Fit

    • Prioritizes speed over quality.
    • Frequently late or unreliable.
    • Creates unnecessary drama or negativity.

    Schedule

    Open to full-time or part-time. Our shop is mostly appointment-based with steady demand and predictable days. Weekend availability (Saturday or Sunday) is required.
