Job description

An intentional assistant program for driven, teachable people who want to build a real foundation in the beauty industry - one-on-one alongside an experienced stylist, with hands-on education and personalized mentorship.

W-2 employee · hourly · Flexible · closed Sundays and major holidays

This is not a 'busy work' position. Our assistant program is built to prepare you for a long-term career behind the chair, with structured exposure to the day-to-day realities of running a column at a high standard.

You'll learn by doing - supporting a senior stylist through their day, observing real consultations and color formulation, and taking on more as you're ready. Our goal isn't just to train assistants; it's to develop confident, capable stylists who can step behind the chair with purpose.

This role is ideal for motivated individuals willing to work hard, ask questions, and learn with humility and excellence.

What you'll do

Day-to-day

• - Provide excellent customer service so every guest feels welcome and comfortable.
• - Support stylists throughout the day to keep time management and workflow on track.
• - Maintain a clean, organized, and well-stocked salon workspace.
• - Observe and learn - consultations, formulation, application, finishing, rebooking.
• - Stay coachable: take notes, ask questions, apply feedback quickly.

What we're looking for

• - Current cosmetology student OR licensed cosmetologist.
• - A real passion for the beauty industry and eagerness to learn and grow.
• - Professional demeanor and strong communication skills.
• - Ability to multitask and keep a clean, organized workspace through a busy day.

What we offer

The package

• - One-on-one mentorship with an experienced stylist - not a group program.
• - Annual $100 education allowance + quarterly in-salon education at no cost.
• - Optional personalized business coaching with Jesse Rhodes - goal setting, time management, client retention, and technical training.
• - A clear pathway to behind-the-chair work, with full marketing and brand support when you transition.
