Hair Stylist Intern
About The Position
The Hair Stylist Intern role is for students currently enrolled in cosmetology or barber programs who want to gain real-world salon experience and prepare for a possible transition into a licensed stylist role after graduation. Interns learn about salon life in a supportive, team-oriented environment through mentorship and exposure to salon operations, customer service, teamwork, salon systems, tools, and technology. They may observe and support haircutting and finishing techniques as permitted by state regulations; most interns observe, assist, and learn rather than perform full services.
