Hair Stylist Resume Example

Salon owners hiring a stylist want a full chair, repeat clients and tidy standards. This example gives each a number and keeps the training of assistants in view.

Template

Evergreen has no photo and a deep band of color across the top.

A made-up resume. The person, the employers and every number are invented, and any resemblance to a real one is chance.

Why this example works

  • About 9 clients a day and a 78% rebooking rate show a full chair and repeat business.
  • A client list growing from 60 to 180 regular clients shows the stylist builds trade as well as serving it.
  • Formula cards and only two color corrections a year show careful color work.
  • Training two assistants shows readiness for a senior chair.

How to write your own hair stylist resume

  1. State clients a day and your rebooking rate, since they show demand and loyalty together.
  2. Show client list growth with how it came, such as referrals and social media.
  3. Describe your color routine and corrections, for example mixing to a formula card for every client.
  4. Mention hygiene steps, such as a salon checklist you follow each day.
  5. Include assistant training, with the number you trained and the skills you taught.
  6. Add a link to photos of your own work beside your contact details, with client permission; the example leaves that line for you to fill in.

Common questions

Should I list the products I use?

Name the lines in one short line if the advert asks. The reader cares more about your results than your shelf.

How do I show my client base?

Give regular clients and growth over time, such as 60 to 180 in three years. A count with a period shows a base that can be checked.

Where do licenses go?

Place your state license in a credentials section with the board that issued it, and say it is current. List only what you hold; a salon will ask to see it.

Is social media worth a line?

Yes, with followers and how many bookings came from it. A booking count is more useful than a follower count on its own.
