[AD] Staff & stock wanted + taking advance appointments: Wildilocks is coming to Melbourne!
Hi folks, couple of exciting bits of news! If you aren't already aware of us - Wildilocks is an alternative hair & fashion business based in Perth and we've been operating for almost 5 years. We specialise in hair extensions, dreadlocks, extreme colours & cuts, environmentally responsible practises and hair care products, and we also stock a range of clothing lines in the dark rave/goth/industrial/streetwear genres, as well as New Rock Boots and Shoes and a variety of accessories. And the good news for Melbournites is: Wildilocks is gearing up to open a new store, The LockWorks, in the Melbourne CBD early next month!

JOBS!

We are currently accepting resumes from qualified hair stylists and aspiring apprentices and will be holding interviews in 2-3 weeks. If you are interested in working with us in an alternative and maniac-friendly environment, forward your resume to jobs@wildilocks.com, and please attach a recent photo along with any supporting documentation that may be relevant [evidence of skills, references etc].

STOCK?

In keeping with our practise of supporting local designers, Wildilocks would be interested to hear from any local Melbourne fashion and accessory designers with a view to stocking your products. We are particularly interested in items made with environmental awareness and quality/durability in mind, and we do not usually take consignment, prefer to buy wholesale. Please email details of your product to stockists@wildilocks.com.

APPOINTMENTS...

We will begin booking appointments from Tuesday November 13th though we may open slightly earlier than that date, and our opening hours will be Tuesday-Saturday, 10-5, with later trading on Thursday and Friday evenings. If you would like to make an advance appointment for any hair and extensions services, please email melbourneappointments@wildilocks.com. Prices will vary slightly from the Perth store [currently on the website] due to our higher overheads here.

We will also be looking for training models at greatly reduced prices and on shorter notice, for the following services: synthetic dreadlock extension installation & removal, wool extension installation & removal, human hair loose extension installation, maintenance and removal, permanent dreadlock installation, maintenance & removal. If you would like to be shortlisted for training model information, please email trainingmodels@wildilocks.com with the service[s] you are interested in.

CLUB PROMOTERS :)

We will have a dedicated poster wall & flyer area in our foyer, so please don't forget to bring down your promo material once we are open! We are also interested in doing cross-promotional events. Drop us an email at promotion@wildilocks.com if you are running anything you think we might like to be involved in.

More info will be posted when we are closer to our Melbourne store opening date!

Any questions - please ask!

:)

Cass

Oh, I used to see your sign (Wildilocks) all the time when I was bussing to uni though the city... it's down a little alleyway, right?

I used to wonder what it was.

Hehe, that was our old store in Barrack St! The new Perh store has been open for over 18 months at 808 Hay Street :)

This is AWESOME. I used to get extensions regularly in London but haven't found anywhere in Melbourne that I trust to do them. Will email you for appointment :)

Fantastic! I have one regular client here in Melbourne who had been to Pepi's and reckoned she liked my dreads better. Who did you go to in London?

Look forward to hearing from you.

I'm not sure if you've heard of them, they're only a 2-person team doing extensions as free lance work. Hairbunniez was their name, but they've stopped doing hair for a while now :( They actually recommended you to me when they knew I was moving to Australia! Hope you got my email :)

Heh, yes I know of Hairbunniez, they were around when I started Wildilocks up! I am answering all appointment requests in the next couple of days :)

Ah, small world! I'm very excited. I've been looking at your gallery for ideas of what I want done. I'm so sick of my hair at the moment! Looking forward to your email :)

Man I would love to have people testing on my hair, I'd love to get loose human hair extensions. I sent off an email to that addy. Even if I don't get to have people prodding my hair for cheap I'll be in there as soon as the semester is over to get some put in anyway.

I just had an absolutely horrific experience with a friends hairdresser and they lopped off 4inches of 'dead ends' when I asked for a 1cm trim, so I will be in there sooner than I originally thought...I've been crying pretty much all day. Bitches! Argh.

Send it in anyway so we'll have it on file - we may well be needing new staff by then if things go well!
