Hairdresser Duties & Salary in Australia

In Australia, a hairdresser is a skilled professional responsible for cutting, coloring, styling, and treating hair to enhance the appearance of their clients. They work in various settings, including salons, spas, and even as freelance artists. Hairdressers in Australia are in high demand, particularly in major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, where the fashion and beauty industries thrive.

One exciting fact about the Australian hairdressing industry is its commitment to sustainability. Many salons prioritize eco-friendly practices and use organic, cruelty-free products. Australian hairdressers also participate in national and international hairdressing competitions to showcase their creativity and skills.

The main duties of an Australian hairdresser include consulting with clients, providing hair treatments, recommending styles, and ensuring a clean and safe working environment. Key skills required include excellent communication, creativity, and up-to-date knowledge of hair trends.

To become a qualified hairdresser in Australia, one must complete a Certificate III in Hairdressing, followed by an apprenticeship or on-the-job training. The expected salary range for a hairdresser in Australia varies but typically falls between AUD 45,000 to AUD 60,000 per year, with an hourly rate of around AUD 20 to AUD 30.

* Please note that the salary figures may vary based on experience & location. Salary figures & rate ranges last updated Nov 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am a recruiter, do you offer discounts for bulk job uploads?

Please contact us so we can discuss your specific requirements?

What browsers does gigexchange support?

See the technical specifications page in our Help Centre. Our preferred browser is chrome. Always use the latest version. We do not recommend using IE for our platform

Why has money gone out immediately, before the gig work has been complete?

Our leading payment provider will independently hold the money, for security and peace of mind for the gig worker, as well as a robust disputes policy and reducing fraud on the platform. You, the gig lister, control when the money is released after satisfactory completion of the work outlined. For more information about pay in general, see our pay section in the Help Centre

What is the difference between a fixed price & negotiable gig?

When you set a fixed price gig, the price is non-negotiable, so anyone applying for the gig agrees to the price set in the gig listing. Negotiable gigs have no price set on the listing, but allow the gig lister and gig workers to negotiate through the private chat portals. Once an agreement is made, the scope or works and price is updated on the gig listing and agreed to by both gig lister and worker. With a negotiable gig, you can also make a change to the scope of the gig once it is in flight. Please note, any new price is just for the additional work, not the total value of the old and new.

What happens if gigexchange receives a dispute from a credit card company?

The gigexchange will get in touch (usually by email) to discuss the disputed payment. It may be that the dispute is the result of a misunderstanding. If that is the case, it is important to contact your card issuer and tell them that you are no longer disputing the transaction. gigexchange will follow its internal dispute process and liaise with Stripe until resolution.
