Barbershops Hiring in San Diego

Yes, we're hiring. Here's exactly what we're looking for, so you can decide whether it's worth your time before you walk in.

Searching for a shop that's hiring usually turns up a flyer in a window or a post in a Facebook group with no detail. You end up walking into shops blind. We'd rather tell you up front what this is, so you only come by if it actually fits.

Are you hiring right now?

We're always open to meeting barbers who care about the craft and the people in their chair. Even when every chair is full, we'd rather know who's out there than miss someone good — so the honest answer is yes, we want to hear from you either way.

What we're not doing is filling a seat for the sake of it. A chair at Dino's comes with training, marketing and a team around it, and that only pays off with the right person in it.

What the role actually is

  • Licensed barber, working the floor. A valid California barber's license is required.
  • Cutting across the board. Fades, scissor work, longer hair and beard work. Our shop leans toward detailed scissor and shear work, so that's worth being comfortable with.
  • Open availability. Our busiest days are the ones clients want most. Availability is how a book gets built.
  • Part of a media-focused shop. We have a content studio in-house, and content is part of how our barbers grow.

What you get that most shops don't offer

Competitive pay — our barbers make money. Continued education, because we invest in our barbers' success. A clean shop and a premium brand. And somebody else carrying the marketing and the systems, so your attention can stay on your craft.

Filling a book on your own takes years. Here it takes a fraction of that, because the whole shop works as a team to get you there.

How to apply

Fill out the short form, then call the shop and ask whether the owner is on site. We'd rather meet you in person than trade emails — five minutes face to face tells us both more than any application could.

Think you'd be a match?

Tell us about yourself and your work. It takes about two minutes.
