Assistant

Where artistry meets opportunity—join us at Fringe Salon.

Fringe Salon is more than a place to work—it’s a creative, collaborative community that feels like home. With locations on the Lower East Side (248 Broome St.) and Brooklyn (298 Bond St.), we’ve built a salon culture where assistants aren’t just helping out—they’re learning, growing, and stepping into long-term careers.

Your Role:

As an Assistant, you’ll support our stylists with shampooing, color applications, and blowouts, while also helping keep the salon welcoming with light cleaning and product organization. You’ll gain hands-on experience every day, working closely with our talented team and learning the flow of a busy NYC salon.

What Makes Fringe Different:

• A salon recognized by The New York Times for breaking the mold—making a high-end NYC salon feel like home.
• A culture built on artistry, freedom, and community—where the playlist is a group choice, the walls host art shows, and stylists collaborate instead of compete.
• Flexible scheduling and a supportive vibe—if you’re not booked, you don’t have to sit around.
• Community events like clothing swaps, jewelry-making nights, and collective gatherings that connect assistants and stylists across the city.

What We Offer:

• Hourly pay plus tips
• A fun, easygoing team environment (no cattiness, just collaboration)
• Hands-on education in product knowledge, color, and cutting
• A clear growth path into our apprentice program, designed to help you build the foundation for a $100k+ career over time
• The chance to be part of something bigger than a salon—a supportive, art-forward family

If you’re passionate about hair, excited to learn, and ready to join a salon that celebrates both artistry and community, Fringe NY is the place for you.
