What You’ll Do

  • Consult & Architect: Perform high-level consultations that prioritize hair integrity and aesthetic longevity. You will formulate bespoke color profiles that become your signature.

  • Command the Craft: Deliver "Pinterest-perfect" transformations—specializing in advanced balayage, complex corrections, precision blonding, and lived-in luxury color.

  • Curate & Educate: Beyond the service, you will curate the perfect home-care regimen for your clients. With a 10% retail commission , your expertise in product recommendation directly increases your take-home pay.

  • Scale the Business: Utilize your professional charisma to build high retention and manage a high-value book of business.

What You Bring to the Chair

  • Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in a high-end or luxury salon environment.

  • Proven Track Record: A history of high productivity and a portfolio that demonstrates mastery of complex color transformations.

  • Credentials: Valid DC Cosmetology License.

  • The "It" Factor: A polished professional image, exceptional communication, and the ability to build deep trust with elite clients.

The Details

  • Location: On-site (The heart of Washington, D.C.)

  • Income Range: $70,000 – $100,000+

  • The Perks: Service Commission + 10% Retail Commission + Premium Tips
