OUR STRENGTHS
Our strengths
-
Over 1.4 million followers
Assort's TikTok, Instagram and YouTube accounts have over 1.4 million followers in total (November 2026). Your work is seen at a salon many people already know.
-
Japanese techniques, and every service
We do it all: cuts, colour, highlights and balayage, perms, digital perms, Japanese straightening and treatments. Digital perms and Japanese straightening are rare in Western salons; here they are part of everyday work.
-
Training that keeps you growing
Stylists take on monthly cut and colour tasks in our training app, and our educators score each one within 14 days.
-
IT and AI: a new kind of salon
Shifts, leave, guest records, training tasks and more run in apps we built ourselves, on your phone. Any question, any time: ask Moné, our AI assistant.
-
Shifts about two months ahead
Your shifts are published about two months ahead, so you can plan your life.
-
No age limit: we value experience
We set no age limit, and we see your years in the trade as experience. Only the working holiday visa itself has age limits, set by each government.
-
One group, 7 countries
Assort Vancouver joins our salons in Tokyo, Osaka, New York, London, Amsterdam, Hong Kong and Melbourne. If you move to one of our salons in another country, the company books your one-way flight, as a loan that melts away while you keep working with us.
