About The Position

The Hair Stylist Intern role is for cosmetology and barber students seeking real-world salon experience while completing their education and working toward licensing. Interns learn about salon operations and day-to-day salon life in a supportive, team-oriented environment, with opportunities to connect with experienced stylists and salon leaders. Learning may include customer service, teamwork, salon systems, tools and technology, and observing or supporting haircutting and finishing techniques as permitted by state regulations. Most interns observe, assist, and learn rather than perform full services. Program structure, schedules, and responsibilities vary by salon location, and internship programs are offered only by select independently owned Great Clips salon organizations.
