NOW HIRING:
FULL TIME 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 wearing you down.
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.

"I wanted to work in a smaller, more intimate salon.
I love how comfortable everyone feels working here, and I think my clients feel that same ease. You can just be yourself. It's a safe, accepting place, and that's my favorite part."
