top-tierAssistant/Apprentice

[Please email your cover letter and resume to julia@kennaland.com. We are focused on candidates with strong communication skills and professionalism.]

Kennaland is looking for a talented and enthusiastic Assistant/Apprenticeto join a great team of "hair people" who like to do things a little differently.

Kennaland was created by leading session stylist Kenna, who started the first Kennaland in London over 15 years ago. Kenna has a vibrant career in the fashion and beauty industry, styling supermodels and celebrities on set while continuing to oversee Kennaland. As a disruptor to the salon space, Kennaland tries to foster a flexible and dynamic work environment that works for both full-time salon stylists and those who split their time with other passions in the world of hair or elsewhere.

Kennaland prides itself on being different from the average salon - where real relationships are formed and a loyal clientele develop naturally alongside long-term friendships with the team and our clients. We pride ourselves on providing top-tier, high-end, six-star service within a warm, down-to-earth, and friendly atmosphere.

We are currently recruiting for Assistant/Apprentices of all experience levels. Whether you have just graduated from beauty school or have been assisting in a previous salon, we would love to chat!

We are looking for apprentices for both cut and color who are looking for a place to continue their education and work their way to the shop floor. Through on-the-floor assisting and a structured education program, we want to help you become a fully operational hairdresser and begin building your clientele while assisting, so that the transition into a junior stylist is easy and comfortable. We are looking for someone who is passionate about growing their technical and soft skills. Someone who values communication and is receptive to feedback and learning opportunities.

If you think you fit the bill and are looking for something a little different from the regular hair salon please apply below, with your cover letter, resume, and social media handles included.

This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in hair for fashion and beauty; working for one of the country's leading stylists. All employees are given the opportunity to assist Kenna on set if this is an avenue they wish to pursue.

Applicants must have an NYS cosmetology license (or have a US cosmetology license with reciprocity to NYC.)
