Work here.

Wigs & Warpaint is an established Sheffield city-centre salon. We welcome qualified stylists who care about their craft, their clients and working well with a busy team.

Qualified employed stylists: tell us about your cutting, colour or specialist experience and the work you would like to develop. We will discuss the role, hours, support and pay with you individually. Send a CV or a short introduction, examples of your work and your availability.

Self-employed stylists: we have space for up to two established professionals who want a city-centre base and a positive salon environment. Tell us about your specialisms, current client base and preferred availability. Chair availability, fees, products, booking support and the working arrangement are discussed individually.

City-centre location & real footfall

Being based in S1 means:

• Daily walk-ins and enquiries
• Strong student and professional trade
• Regular NHS clients
• A steady mix of new and returning clients

This is a busy, working salon — not a quiet studio waiting to be discovered.

A mixed, social salon

Wigs & Warpaint is a mixed salon, with gents and ladies enjoying services in the same building throughout the day. That creates:

• A lively, social atmosphere
• A genuine buzz on the floor
• Clients who enjoy being here
• A space that feels alive, not flat

If you thrive in an energetic, people-filled environment, you'll feel at home here.

How we work

Our employed and self-employed opportunities are discussed separately, with clear terms for each route. Across the salon, we value people who:

• Work consistently and reliably
• Contribute positively to the atmosphere
• Respect shared systems, stock and space
• Understand that a successful salon works because everyone plays their part

You have independence — with responsibility.

Clients, visibility & growth

Over nearly two decades, we've invested heavily in:

• Marketing and visibility
• Reputation and trust
• A strong online presence
• A recognisable city-centre brand

As a result, new clients come through the door regularly, alongside loyal regulars. This is a strong environment to:

• Grow your column
• Increase earnings
• Benefit from an established name
• Bring your skills into a salon clients already trust

You bring the talent. We provide the platform.

Premium salon standards

This is a premium salon environment, so:

• Pricing is discussed and agreed
• Stock usage is managed properly
• Services align with the salon's client base and brand

We offer a fair, professional deal that works for stylists and keeps the salon healthy.

We offer flexibility around working days and structure, but:

• This is not a “turn up whenever” arrangement
• Reliability and presence matter
• A busy city-centre salon needs consistency

The right stylists thrive here.

What our clients say

Our Google reviews consistently highlight:

• The friendly, welcoming team
• The buzzing, positive atmosphere
• How enjoyable it is to visit the salon
• The quality of service and results

Clients regularly describe Wigs & Warpaint as a place that feels lively, warm and social — somewhere they genuinely enjoy coming back to. That atmosphere benefits everyone working on the floor and is a big part of why the salon stays busy.

A place to grow

Over the years, many stylists have grown here, some from training — some going on to open their own salons after building skills, confidence and loyal client bases. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because this environment works.

This opportunity suits stylists who…

• Enjoy a lively, social salon environment
• Want city-centre footfall and visibility
• Have their own clients but want more
• Value independence and professional standards
• Want to be part of an established salon with real history
