TaniaColin Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I have noticed other threads with jobs/careers, so i thought what about starting a hairdressing thread. I'm sure there are plenty of hairdressers hoping to go to Oz or already there, so we can be a network of support, especially with the 'credit crunch' at the moment, and help and support each other in this stressful time. My name is Tania and i have been an hairdresser since 1983, i have worked for myself for biggest part of these years. I have a state sponsorship to Victoria and have applied for a 176 visa. It would be good if there are hairdressers out in Oz to say if they work in a salon or are freelance, and what is it like working out in Oz, i'm sure any information would be highly appreciated by myself and fellow hairdressers.

Guest WARDStoOZ Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Great idea Tania, nurses electricians and now hairdressers! I'm sure this will make a great thread! Dan xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaniaColin Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 I think it is a good idea, and then at least you know who the hairdressers are, if there is anything what you need to know, it is a difficult process to go through, and its nice to feel there is support out there.

The salon employs mostly uk hairdressers and they are well appreciated. When we came here i tried many salons, ozzie hairdressers, no disrespect but now i have found a good uk hairdresser i will stick to her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ashmalog Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi there my OH is a barber with 21 years experience. we are going to melbourne as soon as the house sells. He has made a few enquiries already and it seems the majority of barbers are female! and paid a lot better than the UK. hopefully there is room for a very experienced male barber. we have got the visa on my profession so he is allowed to work in any area - he may even change his career when we get out there. good luck to everyone Bonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toria Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 hi fellow hairdressers this is a great idea as it is really hard to find advice you are looking for sometimes, i'm pauline and have been hairdressing for 22 years, i am just at the start in this whole process, i am using an agent and just trying to get things started. I am going for the 176 family sponsered visa, my brother is out in noosa queensland, i have 3 children and have always worked in hairdressing . pauline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaniaColin Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi Pauline welcome on board, keep us posted on how you are getting on, do you intend to work in a salon in Queensland or try to go Freelance Tania X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toria Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi Tania Not sure what i'm going to do i think i would probably work in a shop first of all and once i got to know people then i would go freelance, what about you? Pauline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaniaColin Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi Pauline i think i would need to work in a salon first to get some money, then ideally i would like to build up a clientele for mobile, which would work in around the children Tania X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toria Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi Tania I think that is the best way too, especially when you can make the same wages in one day sometimes as you can in one very long hard week in a shop and not get to see the family as much as you would like. I think freelance in australia is suited to our job, enjoying every aspect of home life and work, because it is just like socialising doing someones hair at home and you meet lots of new friends, I can't wait, I am starting to dream now, need to give myself a shake!!!! Well it sounds good anyway. Pauline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiedreamz Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 If you are considering becoming a mobile hairdresser in Queensland you will need a licence, you may or may not realise this but thought I would mention it all the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaniaColin Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks for the info Aussiedreamz, i am going to Victoria (hopefully), but i am sure there must be other hairdressers hoping to go to Queensland who might not have known that Tania X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackboots Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 same as wa , need a license there too, i would like to go mobile as well.... well have to re sit exams first! hi to all who have popped onto the thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest savagehayley Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hello I'm a UK Hairdresser in Queensland, if you need any advice I will try to answer any questions you fellow PIO's put to me, Good Luck.... Hi I am currently studying hairdressing in the UK i've nearly finished my NVQ2 and going to do NVQ 3 and hopefully qualify next June. I want to move to Oz, what is the best way to go about it? would i need to get a sponsorship before I go out there and what sort of visa would i need to apply for? I don't have much knowledge at the moment so any advice would appreciated. Thanks Hayley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hayley You should post this question in the migration forum as that's where the migration agents like to hang out, they are way more qualified than me to answer this, I qualified for PR visa because of my time served in the hairdressing industry of nearly 20 years (oh! that makes me feel old), since you are still studying then sponsorship will be your best route I would guess...

Guest sanders family Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hi all hairdressers im going to victoria in July, I have found out that you don't need to register in this state but you do have to have a license to be freelance. I also look on career one at the jobs and they all seem to be on the west coast of victoria at the moment and not as many as 6 months ago.
