Hairstylist / Cosmetologist Resume Template
For a hairstylist / cosmetologist resume, we recommend Classic Minimal: Calibri, black & white, dense bullets — the safest all-purpose ATS format for any field.
Why this template fits a hairstylist / cosmetologist resume
A hairstylist / cosmetologist resume needs to prove a loyal client book built on real technical skill — Classic Minimal keeps the focus on that with a traditional underlined section style that reads clearly to both a hiring manager and the ATS software screening for Cutting/color techniques and Client consultation.
All 25 Rezumz templates are single-column and ATS-safe by default — this one is just the best starting point for this specific field. You can switch templates any time while editing.
What to put in the template
Order the sections as summary, work experience, skills, then education and certifications. Put your most recent and most relevant role first. Keep it to one page unless you have a long career.
Skills to fill into the skills section
Must-have: Cutting/color techniques, Client consultation, Product knowledge, Sanitation compliance, Client retention.
If you have them: Cosmetology license, Advanced color certification (balayage, etc.), Retail sales experience.
Example bullet points to copy the shape of
- Built and maintained a client book of 150+ regular clients with an 80% rebooking rate
- Generated $4,500+ in average monthly service and retail revenue
- Trained 3 junior stylists on current color techniques as part of the salon's mentorship program
Replace the figures with your own. The layout does the formatting, but the bullets do the convincing.
Does the template matter to an ATS?
Less than people think. Every Rezumz template is single-column with real text, so applicant tracking systems read it correctly. What matters more is that the keywords above appear in your skills and in your bullets.
