Otis & Finn is an upscale, hip barbershop with shops in Long Island City, Queens (1 stop from Manhattan) & Greenpoint Brooklyn. We have a large and growing client base and are looking for a self motivated master barber with at least one year of experience to join our team. Our shops are friendly, laid back, and very professional, so if you are the kind of person who experiences a lot of interpersonal conflict, this job will not work for you. We work hard to maintain an environment which is happy, social, and welcoming to all clients of all walks of life. We have a large LGBTQ following, and racially and ethnically diverse clientele base, and this is an important part of our brand, which we celebrate. If you aren't good with people, or don't enjoy what you do, this won't be a good fit for either one of us. Our barbers are independent contractors and earn well above market compensation. Our median barber who has worked at our shop full time for at least six months makes about $1300 - $1500 a week in gross pay with more experienced barbers grossing more than $2,000 a week. Additionally, we offer a signing bonus of $1000 which is paid when you start but is contingent on completing 6 months worth of work. The shop puts a lot of resources behind marketing the shop, promoting our barbers, and creating goodwill in the community through events and sponsorships. Our clients trust our judgment, so generally new contractors aren’t starting from scratch as clients will book with you from the start. That said, the only way to achieve more success is to put time and effort in the neighborhood/on social media on your own behalf as well. You need to be a self starter who is eager to meet new people and build your book. When applying please attach your resume.
