Job Description

Barber / Stylist (Full-Time / Part-Time)

Location: Friend of a Barber, 126 East 4th Street, East Village, NYC

About Us

Friend of a Barber is a shop built by friends, coworkers, and like-minded New Yorkers who believe in bringing dreams and hard work to life—while having fun doing it. Greg, Josh, and Mark come from different backgrounds, but they share the same philosophy: we show up, we grind, and we support one another. Their collaboration created a cooperative of three businesses under one collective roof.

Here, you are a Friend of the Barber. When someone walks into our space, they immediately feel our energy — warm, real, intentional. We’re a place to pause from the city’s pace, have a genuine conversation, and get a haircut that feels personalized.

If you’re someone who believes in craft, connection, and community, we’d love to have you.

Role & Responsibilities

As a Barber / Stylist at Friend of a Barber, you’ll:

  • Provide haircuts, fades, beard trims, styling, and grooming services with care, precision, and consistency
  • Consult with clients to understand their style goals, hair textures, and maintenance preferences
  • Create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere — engage clients in conversation (or let them enjoy quiet)
  • Maintain cleanliness, order, and a welcoming vibe in your station and throughout the shop
  • Keep your tools sharp, sanitized, and ready
  • Collaborate with the rest of the team — share ideas, support one another, help the shop evolve
  • Occasionally assist with shop tasks: sweeping the floor and keeping your station tidy, receiving deliveries, greeting clients
  • Continue learning — staying current with barbering techniques, trends, and best practices

Must-Haves & What You Bring

Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience as a barber or stylist (NY state license or certification required)
  • Strong fundamentals in cuts, fades, blends, beard work, scissor over comb, etc.
  • Good interpersonal skills — ability to connect easily, listen well
  • Adaptability — you’ll work with a diverse clientele in style, texture, and hair types
  • Professionalism, reliability, timeliness, and a sense of ownership

Personal Qualities

  • Passion for craft, and for the human connection behind it
  • Team player mindset — you want not just to succeed individually, but to help the collective succeed
  • Positive attitude, curiosity, humility, and a willingness to grow
  • Respect for the space, the tools, the clients, and your peers

What You’ll Get

  • A seat in a thoughtfully designed, energetic, East Village shop — built “by friends” for people who value substance over flash
  • A supportive community of creatives and barbers that has been growing for over 10+ years
  • Competitive compensation — fair splits + opportunity to grow
  • Flexibility in schedule (full-time or part-time)
  • Exposure to a steady, engaged NYC clientele
  • Room to build your own identity and brand within the collective
  • Opportunities for education, workshops, collaboration
