Full-time and part-time available Westwood, MA (Lambert's Plaza, 262 Providence Hwy) June 2026 Grand Opening

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids — an award-winning children's (age 0-14) salon franchise with over 200 locations — is opening a brand-new salon in Westwood. We're hiring founding stylists to join our team for opening day.

We are local owners who believe in taking care of the people who take care of our clients. We respect your time, we understand the industry grind, and we are building a salon where stylists actually want to come to work. Smiles and a positive attitude are a must, and we treat all our team members like family!

Why this job is different:

Just kids' cuts. No chemicals, no color. Clean, fast haircuts in a salon built around making kids smile.

Fun environment. Themed chairs, Xboxes, streaming — the kind of place kids ask their parents to bring them back to.

Family-friendly hours. No late nights. Major holidays off.

Instant tips via Tippy. Tips hit your account the moment the client pays — individual, never pooled.

Supportive ownership. Local owners who actually want to hear what you have to say.

Compensation & Benefits:

Competitive hourly base ($17-22) based on experience with guaranteed yearly raise

100% of tips, paid instantly via Tippy, not pooled
