Your Next Salon Home Might Be Waiting

Crook + Co is an independently owned, established hair salon in Orange County, and we're opening our doors to a select few new stylists!

We're not just looking to fill chairs. We're looking for talented, passionate, independent hairstylists who want to be part of a creative, welcoming, and supportive salon environment.

Whether you've outgrown your current space, are craving a fresh start, or simply want to surround yourself with like-minded artists, we'd love to meet you.

What Makes Crook + Co Different?

• Independence: Run your own business, set your own schedule, establish your own pricing, and manage your clientele.
• Creative freedom: Express your artistry and build your personal brand.
• Supportive atmosphere: A welcoming, inclusive space where individuality and professionalism are celebrated.
• Established salon: Join a salon that's been part of the Orange County beauty community since 2017.
• Beautiful workspace: A thoughtfully designed environment for you and your clients.
• Community over competition: We value mutual respect, collaboration, and celebrating each other's success.

Who We're Looking For

• California-licensed cosmetologists
• Experienced stylists with an established or growing clientele
• Independent, motivated professionals
• Stylists who value kindness, inclusivity, and mutual respect
• Artists who take pride in their work and client experience

The Opportunity

We have a limited number of booth rental stations available and are looking for the right stylists to join our salon community.

This is a booth rental opportunity, not a traditional hourly or commission-based employment position. Commission is available upon request subject to a meeting and terms. You'll operate your own independent business within our shared salon space.

We'd love to learn more about you, your work, and what you're looking for in your next salon home.

Our Culture: A Different Kind of Salon

Crook + Co was founded on the belief that the beauty industry could be a little kinder, a lot more inclusive, and a place where people can truly be themselves.

We created Crook + Co because we struggled to find a salon environment that aligned with our values. We wanted something different: a space built on kindness, acceptance, authenticity, and genuine human connection.

We believe a salon should be more than a place to get your hair done. It should be somewhere clients feel safe, understood, and celebrated, and where stylists can express their creativity without feeling like they have to fit into a mold.

Our culture is rooted in:

Inclusivity: Everyone deserves to feel welcome, respected, and accepted exactly as they are.

Authenticity: We celebrate individuality, creative expression, and being unapologetically yourself.

Kindness: We believe compassion and mutual respect should be the standard, not the exception.

Community: We value genuine relationships over competition and believe there's room for everyone to succeed.

Creativity: We're passionate about the artistry of hair and encourage stylists to develop their own unique identity.

We're looking for independent stylists who genuinely connect with these values and want to contribute to a salon environment where people support one another, respect each other's differences, and take pride in the community they're part of.

You can be an incredible artist anywhere. We want Crook + Co to be somewhere you can be an incredible artist and feel like you belong.
