Job Description
Senior Hairdresser (Freelance Mindset Essential) | ABN
Ellie & Frank Salon | Smith Street, Collingwood, Melbourne VIC
Are you a highly skilled Senior Hairdresser ready to take full control of your career—without sacrificing the support, energy, and standards of a premium salon environment?
At Ellie & Frank, we are redefining the salon model. This is not chair rental. This is a carefully designed, collaborative space for talented freelance Stylists who want the freedom of working independently, while still being part of something elevated, professional, and inspiring.
About Us
We are not a typical salon—and we don’t want typical Stylists.
Ellie & Frank has been created for designers who value both creative freedom and a strong team culture. Our model supports independence, while ensuring a shared commitment to excellence, client experience, and salon growth.
If you’re looking to simply “rent a chair,” this isn’t for you.
If you’re looking to grow your brand within a premium, supportive environment, we’d love to connect.
Our System – Designed for Modern Freelance Stylists
This opportunity is ideal for ABN-based Senior Hairdressers who want flexibility without isolation.
We offer:
- Up to 70% commission structure.
- Freedom to set your own pricing (aligned with salon standards).
- Premium products available for shared use (no stock burden / Redken, Keune, Mr. Smith, Korean & Japanese products / colour, perm, retail, salon treatment products).
- Flexible working hours – open early or close late to suit your clients.
Why This Model Works
We’ve built this system with intention—balancing autonomy with collaboration and shared responsibility.
Not Just Chair Rental
We operate as a team, maintaining high standards across client experience, cleanliness, and how we work together day-to-day.
Shared Responsibility
All team members contribute to maintaining a clean, professional, and welcoming salon environment—this is a collective standard, not an afterthought.
Shared Product System
Work seamlessly with premium products—without the cost or stress of managing your own inventory.
Flexibility with Accountability
Enjoy control over your schedule, while contributing to a cohesive and professional team environment.
True Work-Life Flexibility
Early starts, late finishes, or split days—structure your time in a way that works for you and your clients.
Growth Opportunities
Optional salon-led marketing is available to support you in building your clientele faster (additional cost applies).
What Makes Us Different
This is a modern freelance model designed to support both independence and long-term success:
- No fixed rent – Work on a percentage basis with no pressure to cover daily rent before you earn.
- Shared booking flow – In addition to your own clients, you may receive salon bookings when available.
- Real flexibility – Flexible working hours, with team coordination to ensure smooth salon operations.
- No product costs – All professional products are provided and shared within the salon.
Who We’re Looking For:
- An experienced Senior Hairdresser operating on an ABN.
- A stylist who values both independence and collaboration.
- Someone who respects and contributes to a shared premium environment.
- Motivated, professional, and driven to grow both personally and within a team culture.
The Opportunity
This is your chance to step into a modern, elevated freelance model—where you can maximise your earnings, build your personal brand, and work alongside like-minded professionals in one of Melbourne’s most vibrant locations.
If you’re ready to elevate your career and be part of something progressive, refined, and genuinely exciting—apply now or reach out for a confidential conversation.
