About the job
Blue50 Nails & Spa is an established nails and spa salon in Kentville, Nova Scotia, with a steady, loyal clientele. Head spa is a growing specialty at the salon, and we are looking for a licensed hairdresser to dedicate their chair time to it. Please note: this is a head spa role only — it does not include cutting, colouring or styling services. Both newly licensed graduates and experienced hairdressers are welcome.
If you love this industry but your body is asking for a change — standing all day, the scissors, the dryer, the colour chemicals — head spa is a gentler way to stay in it. Treatments are performed seated, at an unhurried pace, and your hands do massage and care work instead of fighting a blow-dryer all day.
What you'll do
- Head spa treatments (Classic 45 minutes / Luxury 75 minutes) — scalp care, deep cleansing and massage-based scalp rituals, followed by a wash and simple finish
- Advise clients on scalp and hair care between visits
- Keep your treatment area clean and sanitized to Nova Scotia standards
- Manage your appointments in our online booking system
- Help at reception and with light tidying between clients
What you need
- A valid Nova Scotia hairstyling (cosmetology) licence (Cosmetology Association of Nova Scotia — CANS). A licence from another Canadian province that can be transferred is also accepted
- A genuine interest in head spa and scalp care as your main focus
- Previous head spa experience is welcome but not required — we provide training in our head spa approach, with coaching and guidance while you settle in
- Legal eligibility to work in Canada
- Canadian work experience is not required
- A careful, reliable approach and pride in clean, precise work
Pay and what you get
- Experienced hairdressers earn up to $24 an hour + up to 10% commission + 100% of your tips. Your exact rate is set to match your skills, experience and performance, and is reviewed as you grow with us
- New licensed graduates start at $18 an hour + 5% commission + 100% of your tips — all in, roughly $26–$28 an hour on a typical book (approximate; it runs higher or lower depending on the season)
- All products and tools supplied — no chair rent
- On-the-job training and mentoring — and if you need it, we will coach and guide you through our head spa approach as you settle in
- Flexible scheduling
