Hairdressing Apprentice

An average day as a junior at Cosmetic Cave is structured, professional and centred around learning within a high-standard salon environment.

The day begins with preparing the salon for clients, ensuring all styling stations are clean, organised and fully equipped. Tools are sanitised, products are replenished, towels are prepared, and the appointment schedule is reviewed so the team is ready for a smooth service flow As clients arrive, juniors greet them warmly, assist with coats and refreshments, and support stylists with client preparation. This includes shampooing and conditioning, applying treatments or colour under supervision, mixing formulas accurately, and assisting during blow-dries and finishing work. Attention to detail, time management and maintaining a calm presence are key expectations throughout the day Between appointments, juniors maintain the overall presentation of the salon, manage laundry, restock retail displays, and ensure hygiene standards remain consistent. Supporting client consultations by observing senior stylists is an important part of development, helping build confidence in communication and technical knowledge Time is also allocated for training and skill progression. Juniors practise techniques, receive constructive feedback and gradually take on more responsibility as their ability develops. At Cosmetic Cave, professionalism, teamwork and commitment are highly valued. Each day is an opportunity to refine technical skills, strengthen client care standards and build the foundation for long-term progression within the salon
