Hair Stylist Intern

Great Clips • Middletown, DE

10d

About The Position

The Hair Stylist Intern role is intended for students currently enrolled in cosmetology or barber programs who want to gain real-world salon experience while in school. Interns learn about salon life, connect with professional stylists and salon leaders, and prepare for a possible transition to a licensed stylist role after graduation. Internship experiences may include learning about salon operations, 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, scheduling, and responsibilities vary by salon location because internship programs are created and managed by individual Great Clips salon organizations. Employment after graduation is not guaranteed, and internships are offered only by select locally owned salons. Compensation, if offered, varies by salon organization and is discussed during the interview process.
