About Rainbow Connection Hair Salon

Established, Google top-rated hair salon in Shrewsbury seeking experienced, professional hairstylists for rent-a-chair arrangement. We're looking for talented stylists with at least partially established clientele who want the freedom of self-employment with the backing of a professional salon environment.

Located on the edge of Shrewsbury town center with excellent transport links (bus stop directly outside, every 15 minutes) and ample parking (front salon parking plus roadside parking on both sides of Hereford Road).

What Makes Us Different

Unlike basic "chair rental" arrangements, Rainbow Connection provides comprehensive business support:

Premium Marketing Package:

  • Professional website presence with your own profile page and booking link
  • Active social media promotion across our established channels
  • Google Ads management and campaign support
  • Optional: Individual marketing consultation and ad campaign setup for your personal brand (we provide the expertise, you just cover the ad spend)

Complete Professional Support:

  • Modern salon booking system (Salon IQ) with online scheduling
  • Complete backbar supplies (shampoos, conditioners, treatments)
  • Towel and laundry service included
  • Reception phone support
  • Professional, well-maintained salon environment
  • Walk-in customer rotation and sharing

Additional Benefits:

  • Professional hair loss and replacement services (crossover referral opportunities)
  • Collaborative, supportive team atmosphere (not competitive)
  • Established salon reputation and clientele base
  • All utilities, WiFi, insurance coverage included

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Minimum 5 years professional hairdressing experience
  • At least partially established clientele
  • All-around skills: cutting, coloring, treatments (men's and women's)
  • Professional, reliable, punctual
  • Team-oriented mindset (collaborative, not competitive)
  • Own public liability insurance
  • Self-employed/independent contractor status

Ideal:

  • Currently working in a salon and looking for more freedom
  • Strong client relationships and repeat bookings
  • Professional presentation and client service skills
  • Comfortable with flexible scheduling

The Arrangement

Flexibility:

  • 2-6 days per week (we accommodate school schedules and family commitments)
  • You set your own working hours within salon operating times
  • You set your own prices and retain your client relationships
  • Multiple arrangement options available based on your experience, clientele, and schedule preferences

Terms:

  • Flexible rent-a-chair arrangements tailored to your situation
  • Options include fixed weekly rates, percentage splits, or custom arrangements
  • We'll discuss what works best for both of us during the interview process

What You Provide:

  • Your own hair color products and specialized tools
  • Your own clientele (though we'll support you with marketing and walk-in traffic)
  • Your own public liability insurance

Next Steps

If you're an experienced stylist looking for a professional salon environment with genuine business support, we'd love to hear from you.

Contact Mei directly via WhatsApp:

Please include:

  • Brief introduction and years of experience
  • Current situation (where you're working, why you're looking)
  • How many days per week you're interested in
  • A few examples of your work (photos welcome)

We'll schedule a call or in-person meeting to discuss the arrangement and show you the salon.

Start Date: As soon as possible for the right candidate

About the Role

This is a self-employed rent-a-chair arrangement, not traditional employment. You'll operate as an independent contractor with complete control over your business while benefiting from our professional environment and support infrastructure.

Rainbow Connection provides the space, systems, supplies, and marketing support. You bring the talent, clientele, and professional excellence.
