Barber

**About the Opportunity**
At Commonwealth Senior Living, we’re seeking a **Contract Barber** to provide salon services to residents in our vibrant senior living community. This role plays an important part in helping residents look and feel their best—bringing confidence, care, and connection to every visit.

Our Beauticians are independent contractors who partner with Commonwealth Senior Living to offer on-site salon services. This position is ideal for an experienced professional who enjoys working with seniors and values flexibility and meaningful engagement.

**Key Responsibilities**

* Provide salon and grooming services such as haircuts, styling, coloring, and basic nail care.
* Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming salon environment in accordance with state and community standards.
* Build positive relationships with residents, fostering an atmosphere of warmth and trust.
* Schedule services and manage payments directly with residents as appropriate.
* Partner with community staff to ensure salon operations run smoothly and safely.

**Contract Requirements**

* Must hold a **current cosmetology license** in the state of **Virginia**.
* Must carry and maintain **liability insurance** of at least **$1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate** and provide a **Certificate of Insurance annually**.
* Must carry **worker’s compensation insurance** per state-required limits and provide proof annually.
* Must adhere to all state board and regulatory requirements for cosmetology and salon operations.

**Additional Information**

* This is a **contracted position**, not a Commonwealth Senior Living employee role.
* Barbers are responsible for their own licensing, insurance, and business operations.
* In rare cases where a community-employed beautician is necessary, the role is **part-time only** (typically under 30 hours per week). Employed barbers maintain their cosmetology license while CSL maintains the salon license.
