Barber & Men’s Stylist Job in Reading – Join Our Expert Cutting Team

Are you a skilled barber or men’s hair stylist looking for something beyond the traditional barber shop?

The 5th Element, a modern unisex salon in Tilehurst, Reading, is hiring creative professionals for barber jobs and men’s stylist roles — both full-time and part-time.

This is the perfect opportunity if you’re confident with longer styles, modern men’s cuts, and client consultation.

✂️ What Makes This Role Different?

We’re not a walk-in-only fade shop — our male clients want sharp styles, longer layered cuts, and expert product advice.
You’ll have the freedom to work on fashion-forward looks, build a loyal following, and develop your own style identity — all within a supportive team.

💼 What You’ll Be Doing

  • Performing a wide range of men’s haircuts and styling

  • Creating longer, more tailored men’s shapes — not just short back & sides

  • Delivering consultations and aftercare advice

  • Working with professional salon products

  • Building client trust and growing your column

  • Want to move into a unisex salon barber position

  • Are confident with scissors and shape work, not just clippers

  • Want a barbering job in Berkshire with growth and flexibility

  • Would love a part-time or full-time barber role near you
