Exciting new opportunity never done before!
We are looking for a bubbly salon coordinator and capable nail artist to join our team!
This role is perfect for those that has their foot in the door as a nail artist however may like days where they can manage the salon and focus on managing operations. This hybrid opportunity allows half the time spent working with nail art, and the other half looking after the salon. If this sounds like you, take a chance to bring your art and your people skills to a new level!
Do you love clean prep, shiny finishes, and on-trend designs; but you also want to take a breather from back-to-back meetings and focus days on lighting up a room, keeping calm under pressure, (salon/event hosting!) and enjoy taking care of people. In this role, part of your week you’ll be at the nail station creating beautiful sets; the other half you’ll be at the front desk, owning the client experience from hello to goodbye.
The role
Hybrid split: Roughly 50% Nail Artist services and 50% Salon Coordinator duties, flexing by roster and peak periods.
Client-first: You’ll greet, book, and guide clients and then deliver services they love. End-to-end care means better loyalty, tips, and satisfaction.
Impact: You’ll keep the salon running smoothly, elevate our nail quality, and make every client feel looked after.
What you’ll do
Front-of-house service: Welcome clients warmly, manage check-in/out, process payments, and handle questions or issues with empathy and confidence.
Bookings & flow: Run the booking system, confirm appointments, manage walk-ins/waitlists, and smooth out last-minute changes to keep the day on track.
Presentation & standards: Keep the desk, waiting area, and stations spotless; uphold hygiene and OH&S procedures.
Nail services: Perform manicures/pedicures, structured gel/BIAB, e-file prep, soft gel extensions or overlays, and clean, design-led nail art suited to your level.
Consult & educate: Assess nail health, tailor looks to lifestyle and budget, and explain aftercare for long wear.
Upsell & home care: Recommend add-ons and retail products that genuinely improve results.
Content support: Photograph finished sets on designated days and share trend ideas with the team.
What you’ll bring
Experience: 1–2+ years in salon reception or hospitality front-of-house AND 1–2+ years as a professional nail artist/technician - both years can overlap. Portfolio required (Instagram/website or PDF).
Technical skills (mid-level): Confident e‑file prep; soft gel, BIAB, full extensions/overlays; shaping and finish filing; French, chrome/aura, neat linework, and simple-to-moderate designs. Open to coaching on advanced art.
Personality: A bubbly, positive presence; warm, clear communicator who makes clients feel at ease and genuinely cared for.
Pace & organisation: Strong time management at the desk and chair; accurate with bookings and payments; calm under pressure.
Team fit: Reliable, tidy, coachable; happy to help wherever the roster needs you.
Work rights & availability: Australian citizen/PR or valid visa with at least 12 months remaining; minimum 4 shifts/week including 1 weekend day. In-person, Sydney CBD.
Hours, pay, and growth
Hours: Full-time 38–45 hrs/week or Part-time 20–30 hrs/week.
Pay: A$25–A$40 per hour (based on skills and experience) + tips.
Growth: Pathways to full-time Nail Artist or Assistant Manager based on strengths; ongoing training and mentoring.
Flexibility in the salon: You'll have Full-Time Salon Coordinators and Full-Time Nail Artist to cover for you, and vice versa! Enjoy the flexibility of this rare role.
Perks: Hours guarantee, stable rosters, supportive team culture, event parties with lunches, dinner and drinks, and occasional creative/test shoot opportunities with client.
