What employers look forFrom the Steward / Hairdresser guide
Captains and chief stews hire people who are stews first. A great stylist who can't carry a tray, iron a tablecloth or work a sixteen-hour charter day will not last. Most successful candidates trained and worked in a salon ashore for two or more years, then did STCW and ENG1 and joined as junior or third stew. Bring your own kit: good scissors, a professional dryer, irons, brushes. Owners notice colour work and bridal-level styling, so a portfolio on your phone helps.
