Why join Oscar&Co?
A Premium Salon Brand With a People-First Culture
Oscar & Co is a premium salon brand built on a simple philosophy: our guests are our art.
We put culture first. Every decision we make is grounded in what is best for the team as a whole and for each individual within it. We are intentional about creating an environment where talented people feel supported, challenged, and inspired to build long-term careers.
Clear Career Pathways
We believe in continual growth and structured progression.
Our teams are built with a deliberate blend of senior and emerging talent, and we create clear pathways at every stage of your career, from Apprentice through to Senior Stylist and beyond.
Senior stylists actively mentor and educate Apprentices, exposing them to advanced techniques and diverse approaches so they can develop a broad skill base and refine their own individual style with confidence.
For those with leadership aspirations, there are defined pathways into our Leadership Team, where decisions are made collaboratively and strategically as a group. Stylists can grow into a variety of leadership roles, contributing to the direction, culture, and performance of the salon.
A Collaborative, High-Performance Service Model
Our service model is designed to elevate both skill and earning potential.
Apprentices are integrated into senior colour services, completing foundational elements while seniors focus on advanced technical work. This approach:
• Allows seniors to perform more specialised, higher-value services
• Accelerates real-world learning for Apprentices
• Increases efficiency and income opportunities
• Strengthens teamwork across the salon
It is a model that benefits the stylist, the Apprentice, and the business.
Education, Ambition, and Brand Alignment
We are proud to work with Redken, a global leader in professional haircare.
Through Redken, our team has access to structured education pathways and ambassador opportunities that extend beyond the salon floor. We encourage our stylists to continually elevate their craft and expand their industry presence.
Growth here is not accidental. It is supported, structured, and intentional.
Marketing That Supports You
We invest heavily in marketing our salons and the talented individuals within them.
Our digital marketing strategy and strong referral systems provide a continual stream of new guests, while our high guest retention reflects the calibre of our team, the strength of our management, and the experience delivered within our beautiful salon spaces.
We position ourselves as a premium brand, and our pricing and guest experience reflect that standard.
Performance Is Rewarded
We offer a commission structure designed to reward initiative, collaboration, and work ethic.
Stylists who utilise Apprentice support effectively, deliver exceptional guest experiences, and actively market themselves can significantly increase their earning potential. Our average hourly rates are well above industry norms.
This is a place where high performers thrive.
Work-Life Balance and Community
We believe long-term success requires balance.
We are flexible with working days and hours wherever possible and actively encourage a healthy work-life balance. We also provide community and health benefits not typically offered in other salons, because we value the wellbeing of our team beyond the salon floor.
