We are not hiring. We are choosing.
[sēnsei] and femme by [sēnsei] are a house for artists. Two kinds of artist come through this door: the next generation, and the masters. Both are held to one standard.
A house for artists. And the standard by which their work reaches the world.
Inside this house, patrons are placed in the hands of a selected few. Not the busiest artists. The right ones. Here, artists work, travel and build under the same rules, the same guidelines and the same standard, built on respect, love and collaboration.
The soul you leave in the work. Undetectable to anyone measuring it, obvious to everyone receiving it.
Who you are when the guest is late, the room is difficult, and nobody is watching.
Either one at zero, and the culture is zero.
Two doors. One standard.
For rising talent with hunger and discipline. You learn how we consult, work, present and leave a room. Mentorship and the Academy first, then your first private patrons.
APPLY AS NEXT GENERATION →For proven artists with years in the craft and a portfolio that speaks before they do. You bring your authority. We bring the rooms: the most demanding patrons, the events, international work.
APPLY AS A MASTER →Three rooms you will work in.
IPrivate appointments in villas, yachts, suites and residences across Athens, Mykonos, London and Dubai. No chair, no walk-ins, no volume.
The patron buys from the house. The house holds the price, the relationship and the risk. You hold the craft.
IIWeddings, fashion weeks, backstage, private venues and collaborations with houses whose standards match ours.
Highest visibility, lowest frequency. The rooms nobody else can enter.
IIIFilms, campaigns and the Journal. Your own artist page, a place in our campaigns, and approved content to co-post.
Building your own brand beyond the house? The Creative Studio works with artists as clients.
Two minutes. The whole house.
The Platform, the events, the people and the standard, the way the patron sees it.

"You leave more yourself than you arrived."
Every feeling is owed twice.
Paid correctly, protected contractually, never asked to carry the house's risk.
Trusted to decide. We hire judgement, not obedience.
Never run at volume. Fewer, better, slower is the model.
The craft is the point. Never reduced to throughput.
You built your escape through the craft. The house protects it.
Your name, your page, your work, seen at the right level.
守 破 離 is not decoration. It is the syllabus.

OPEN WHATSAPP AGAINBefore you apply.
Everything artists ask us before they join the house.
ASK US ON WHATSAPP →Who can join?
Barbers, hairstylists, colourists, makeup, lash, nail and massage artists. Two paths: the next generation, and the masters.
Do I need my own clients?
No. Patrons come through the house: private appointments at villas, hotels, yachts and residences.
Is this employment?
You work as an independent professional, under a written Verified Artist Agreement.
How am I paid?
Per completed appointment, by commission or fixed price agreed in writing. Tips are 100% yours. Earnings are settled on a regular schedule.
Is there a trial?
Yes. Every collaboration begins with a 14-day trial, so both sides can decide.
Is there a cost to join?
There is an induction kit, which covers your branded cape, your artist profile page and a place in our campaigns. It is explained in full at the first meeting.
Can the house help me grow my own brand?
Inside the house, your work is published on your artist page and in our campaigns. To build your own brand beyond the house, the Creative Studio works with artists as clients.
Do I need to speak English?
Our patrons are international, so conversational English is needed.
The next generation, and the masters. Both are welcome. Neither is guaranteed.
