Work with us

Join the Darlings

The Darling Bar is still in its early days, and we are already looking for the people who will grow with us. If you are a talented senior stylist, part time or full time, an emerging superstar ready to learn, or a receptionist and social-media front-of-house personality, we would love to hear from you.

Open roles

Who we are looking for

Three kinds of people. If you are one of them, or you think you are close enough to be worth a conversation, we would genuinely like to hear from you.

Part time or full time

Senior Stylist

You already have a following, or you are ready to build one. You are confident with colour correction, foils and a proper consult, and you would rather personalise a result than repeat one. We will give you the chair, the products and the room to grow.

  • Confident with colour & foils
  • Loves a proper consult
  • Wants a column to call their own
Apply for this role
New talent & apprentices

Emerging Superstar

Fresh out of your apprenticeship, or still in it, and hungry. You will learn beside senior stylists who actually want to teach, on real clients, with real feedback, not by watching from the back of the salon.

  • Keen to learn on the floor
  • Great with people
  • Turns up ready
Apply for this role
Front of house personality

Receptionist & Social Media

The first voice every Darling hears. You run the desk and the diary, you keep the bar looking after everyone, and you have the personality to make our Instagram and TikTok look like the room feels.

  • Warm on the phone & at the desk
  • Confident on camera
  • Organised with a diary

Why here

What you get out of it

  • Get in early

    The Darling Bar is young. The people who join now help decide what it becomes: the culture, the column structure, the way we do things. That is not a line, it is simply where we are.

  • A real column, not scraps

    We are building stylists up, not filling gaps. You will get the room and the support to grow a following that is genuinely yours.

  • Education that is not an afterthought

    We work with Bhave and with Sarah K on nanoplasty, and we bring that training into the salon. If you want to learn a technique properly, we will back you.

  • A room people like being in

    Charlestown Square, Level 2. A warm space, a drinks trolley, and a team small enough that nobody gets lost in it. Late night is Thursday, not every night.

Have a look at who you would be working with, the services we offer, and where we are before you get in touch.

How to apply

Introduce yourself

No formal application, no portal, no cover letter template. Send us a note telling us who you are and what you are good at, call us for a chat, or come up to Level 2 and say hello in person. We would rather meet you than read about you.

  1. 01 Send a note, call, or drop in
  2. 02 A proper chat with Karin, no interview theatre
  3. 03 A trial behind the chair so we both know
