Careers at Aroha
We don't just offer jobs. We build careers — for people who believe the best work comes from genuine passion, honest skill, and a salon that puts craft first.
Why Aroha
At Aroha, we believe the most beautiful results come from people who genuinely love what they do. Our salon in Newcraighall, Edinburgh has been built around craft — a calm, considered space where talented stylists and therapists are given the time, tools, and trust to do their best work.
We're not looking for the loudest CV. We're looking for people who are curious, committed, and kind — to their clients, their colleagues, and their craft. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
"The team we've built is the heart of this salon. Every person here was chosen because they bring something irreplaceable — and we protect that."

Life at Aroha
We invest in training because we believe continuous learning is what separates good from exceptional. Every member of the team has space to grow — and is expected to use it.
No hierarchy for the sake of it. No politics. Just a team of talented people who are genuinely proud of where they work — and who look after each other.
From junior to senior, from one skill set to many — we give ambitious people the environment they need to become the best version of themselves professionally.
The Aroha Package
A schedule that works around real life — including late evenings Wednesday and Thursday so you're not always rushing out by 5.
We invest in your development — brand training days, technique workshops, and access to industry events that keep your skills sharp.
We're closed on Mondays. Your week starts when you're ready — not the moment the weekend ends.
Generous staff discount on all salon services and products — because you should always look and feel your best.
No parking apps, no charges, no stress. Pull up, walk in, and get on with the job — just like our clients do.
A well-designed, welcoming space with a loyal, appreciative clientele — and a reputation that speaks for itself across Edinburgh.
Wages that respect your skill level and experience — reviewed regularly, with clear paths to progression and higher earnings.
Experienced? Senior? We actively create room for talented people to step into leadership, mentorship, and creative direction roles.
