Subject: Application for the hairdresser position
Dear Ms Favre,
Your salon is looking for a qualified hairdresser at 80%. I have been hairdressing for seven years and specialise in colour, which your salon puts forward.
With a federal certificate in hairdressing, I work at Salon Ciseaux d’Or, seeing about ten clients a day. I have completed two colourist courses and do balayage, plant-based colour and colour corrections. More than half of my appointments are regular clients.
Your choice of natural products and the atmosphere of your salon suit me perfectly.
I am available from 1 March, Saturdays included, and would gladly come in for a trial day.
Kind regards,
Jessica Maillard
