Stylist/Associate

We're not looking for Service Providers that just want a 'job' or just make a 'living'. We want you to 'make a difference', and to have a 'career'!

Service Providers - Where you begin...

100% of the Service Providers we employ begin in our Associate Program. There are few occasions that we find we are able to Fast Track a service provider when they come to us with years of experience.

Our Associate Program is a 6-8 month comprehensive hands-on experience that provides training in the areas of technical skills, guest handling, and business building.

Our Associates work with a dedicated service provider to grow into a career hairdresser. Like our service providers, our Associate Program has a performance based level system. There are 4 levels. Each level has specific skill set and goals. As you meet those targets, you are promoted to the next level. With that ‘level jump’, there is a raise in hourly wages, additional shifts behind the chair (taking your own guests), and the opportunity to grow your business. This ensures that every associate that graduates from our program will have a seamless transition from associate to stylist with the skills necessary for success in our industry.

Is This Program Right for everyone?
