Hairdresser cover letter example
A hairdresser's cover letter should name your specialisms, show your column with a number or two (clients a week, rebooking rate), mention the juniors you train, and point to photos of your work.
Fictional letter from Jade Carter, the applicant in the hairdresser cv example. Every person and employer in it is invented.
Why each paragraph is there
I am applying for the Senior Stylist and Salon Manager role at Canning Row Salon. I have eight years' experience in city-centre salons and specialise in colour, balayage and precision cutting.
The role and your specialisms.
At Bold Street Hair Studio I see about 30 clients a week and keep a 75% rebooking rate, and I grow my column by posting finished work on social media. I run patch and strand tests and keep colour records for every client.
Numbers that show a busy, loyal column, and the safety tests salons must keep.
I train two junior stylists in colour application and consultations, and I would like to take on the running of a salon team. Your salon's colour education evenings are exactly the kind of training I enjoy giving.
Training others, which a manager's role needs, and why this salon.
You can see my recent work at instagram.com/jadecarterhair.example. My CV is attached, and I would be happy to do a trade test. Thank you for your time.
