Stylist in Training
About The Position
The Stylist in Training is a temporary 90-day position intended to help the employee learn the salon business, deliver exceptional customer service across all communication channels, complete cosmetology school training, and obtain the state license required to perform salon services. The employee learns by observing stylists and managers, greets customers, answers the phone, and helps maintain a clean salon while following safety standards. After receiving the required license, the employee may be eligible for promotion to Stylist; promotion is not guaranteed. To be considered, the employee must hold the appropriate state license, be able to perform duties allowed by state licensing requirements (including cutting, styling, coloring, waxing, washing, and perming hair, with or without accommodation), and demonstrate honesty, accountability, integrity, and respect. The position requires standing for most of the day, lifting and carrying products and supplies, and traveling to mandatory meetings and training sessions, including overnight travel. The role offers product and service discounts. If hired, the candidate will be employed directly by the independent franchisee, which sets its own wage and benefit programs.
