Operate Like a Business Owner

• Manage your schedule, pipeline, and production follow-through
• Ensure a seamless experience from first meeting to final delivery

Who Thrives Here

This role is ideal for someone who sees themselves as a sales professional—not a retail associate.

• Confident leading conversations and closing sales
• Naturally entrepreneurial and self-directed
• Energized by building a personal book of business
• Passionate about style, presentation, and helping clients look their best
