RE: Hair stylist Position Application

Dear Mrs. Hayworth:

I am excited to apply for the position of Hair stylist at Bombshell Salon and Beauty Bar in Spartanburg, SC. As a hair stylist with over five years of experience providing quality hair care services to clients, I would love to use my skills and passion to uphold Bombshell Salon’s excellent reputation in the Spartanburg area.

I earned my Certificate in Cosmetology from Charleston Cosmetology Institute in 2011. After becoming a South Carolina State Board licensed cosmetologist, I joined Lily’s Beauty Salon, where I gained hands-on experience performing a variety of hair care services including cuts, perms, color, and blowouts. In addition to building a satisfied customer base, I proved my sales capability by raising the salon retail revenue by 10% through product transactions.

Currently, I work as a hair stylist at Salon Soleil in Spartanburg, where I consult with over 45 individual clients each year for special event styling on top of regular salon services. As an experienced member of our salon team, I educate two hair styling apprentices in hair knowledge, styling techniques, and safety and sanitation practices. Furthermore, I positively represent the salon in all interactions with clients as the greeter, consultant, and scheduler.

With my expert hair styling skills and dedication to customer service, I am certain that I would be an invaluable addition to the Bombshell Salon and Beauty Bar team. I would love the opportunity to interview with you and further discuss how I can contribute to Bombshell’s steady growth. You can contact me at [PHONE] or by email at [EMAIL]. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Sincerely,

Jessica Woodley

1. Prove you can work well with clients

A salon’s bottom line is creating satisfied customers who will spread positive word-of-mouth and return for additional services. Include duties from your previous positions in which you regularly interact with salon clients, whether it be professional consultations or friendly greetings from the front desk and over the phone.

2. Show teamwork and leadership capabilities

Hair stylists work closely together as a team to handle appointments and schedules, so it’s important for hiring managers to know that you are a team player. When writing a cover letter, tell an example of how you have worked with a team before – bonus points if you have taken the lead of a group, project, or training.

3. Flaunt some figures

Compared to other professions, hair stylists don’t receive as much quantified feedback for their work. Therefore, including a statistic or two of measured achievement such as sales or positive feedback will automatically make your application stand out.

4. Specify your work background

Each salon has its own unique brand, so give hiring managers a better idea of your capabilities and style as a hair stylist by specifying the salons or types of freelance work you have done up until now. This also includes your cosmetology education and license, as this is one of the first qualifications potential employers will want to see on your application.
