NOW HIRING:
FULL-TIME HAIR STYLIST
PART-TIME HAIR STYLIST
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You've built the skills.
Now build your
career.
You’ve put in the work behind the chair. The clients love you.
But maybe it’s the chaos, the lack of support, the no-path-forward feeling, or the grind of commission-only with no guaranteed floor underneath you.
You’re looking for a place that’s been built with intention, where you can do beautiful work, grow your income, and still have a life outside the salon.
WHY STYLISTS CHOOSE PRICKLY PEAR:
-
Flexible scheduling, every other Saturday off, built into the rotation
Compensation structure built so your income grows as your clientele does
Freedom to specialize in the services you actually love doing
-
Real support from leadership, not just words on a poster
-
A team that shows up for each other
-
Clear growth paths with income milestones
-
A well-branded, well-run salon you’re proud to be part of
COMPENSATION
How you get paid.
01
Your Base
Every stylist earns an hourly rate regardless of how full your column is. You’re never starting from zero. The base is your foundation and your commission builds on top of it.
02
Commission
Commission is earned on all services with no cap on what you can make. Retail commission is earned on every product you sell. Your income grows directly with your clientele and your consistency.
03
Bonuses & Growth
Wellness bonuses, income club milestones, education reimbursement, and mentor or educator pay at the Specialist level. All of it is documented, reviewed quarterly, and tied to clear benchmarks you can actually hit.
FROM THE TEAM
Hear it straight
from the team.
I love the flexibility and work-life balance here. I have a daughter and the entire team is genuinely understanding when life happens. Every other week is basically a four-day weekend, more time with my family and the people I love. I feel fulfilled in both my personal and work life. Our team works so well together and I am grateful every day that I wake up loving what I do.
