Hair Stylist Intern
About The Position
Join a locally owned Great Clips salon team and build real-world salon experience while still in school. The Hair Stylist Intern role is designed for cosmetology and barber students who want to learn about salon life, connect with a professional team, and prepare for a possible transition into a licensed stylist role after graduation. The opportunity is intended for curious, motivated students who are excited to grow their skills in a supportive salon environment. Internship experiences may include exposure to a professional salon environment, relationship-building with experienced stylists and salon leaders, hands-on learning about salon operations, customer service, and teamwork, and opportunities to observe and support haircutting and finishing techniques as permitted by state regulations. Interns may also gain experience using salon systems, tools, and technology, and learn about day-to-day salon expectations. A pathway to future opportunities as a licensed stylist may be available, but employment is not guaranteed. Program structure, scheduling, and responsibilities vary by salon location because internship programs are created and managed by individual Great Clips salon organizations. Compensation, if offered, varies by salon organization and will be discussed during the interview process. Most interns observe, assist, and learn rather than perform full services. Programs are optional and available only at select salons. All Great Clips salons are independently owned and operated by third-party franchisees, which are responsible for hiring and personnel matters at their individual salons.
