About The Position

The Hair Stylist Intern role is for students currently enrolled in cosmetology or barber programs who want to gain salon experience before graduation. Interns learn about salon life, build skills, connect with experienced professionals, and prepare for a potential transition into a licensed stylist role. Program structure, scheduling, compensation, and responsibilities vary by locally owned salon organization. Interns generally observe, assist, and learn rather than perform full services, and all responsibilities must comply with state regulations.
