Barber at Sit Still Kids Salon

Job Description
At Sit Still Kids Salon, our mission is to provide children and families with positive experiences and consistently high-quality haircuts in a welcoming, inclusive environment. We combine a fun, kid-focused atmosphere with professional standards and efficient service.

We are seeking an experienced barber who is confident delivering clean, consistent cuts within structured appointment times and enjoys working with kids and families.

You will be part of a growing national brand with more than 25 locations across the country.

This is a high-volume haircutting position focused primarily on boys' and short-style services. Most services are completed in approximately 20-30 minutes. Barbers are responsible for consultation with the parent, executing the haircut, and reviewing the finished cut before the client leaves the chair.

This role requires strong clipper technique, efficiency, patience, and professionalism — especially when working with children who may be nervous or moving.

• Minimum 7 years professional haircutting/barbering experience
• Current New York State Barber License (or ability to obtain a NY license by endorsement prior to start date)
• Strong proficiency in:
  Fades (low, mid, and high); tapers; scissor-over-comb; necklines and edge-ups; blending longer top sections into clippered sides
• Ability to confidently complete a haircut within 20-30 minutes
• Ability to communicate clearly with both parents and children
• Professional demeanor and customer-service skills
• Reliable attendance and punctuality

• Experience cutting children's hair
• Previous experience in a structured or franchise shop (Sports Clips, Supercuts, Great Clips, Sit Still Kids, etc.)
• Experience working on a booked schedule vs. walk-in only environment
• Comfort working in a team-based shop

• Consult with the parent before beginning the service
• Deliver clean, age-appropriate haircuts efficiently and safely
• Check in with the parent during the haircut when appropriate
• Review the finished haircut with the parent prior to checkout
• Maintain a calm, friendly, and patient approach with children
• Follow sanitation and safety standards
• Maintain workstation cleanliness
• Participate in training and team meetings

• Built-in clientele (no chair rental)
• Consistent weekday afternoon and weekend business
• No late nights
• Supportive team environment
• Base pay + product commissions + tips
• Paid sick time
• Employee discounts on retail
• Opportunities for advancement

• Weekday afternoon/evening availability
• Weekend availability required
• In-person position (Park Slope, Brooklyn)

Barbers who succeed in this role are professionals who take pride in clean fades and consistent work, are comfortable with a structured appointment schedule, and enjoy working with kids and parents. Patience and communication matter just as much as technical skill.
