Job Summary

Hiring a stylist who wants freedom AND backup.

Most stylists think the choice is: rent a booth for flexibility, or take a salon job and give up control. At Oomph, you don't pick. This is a W2 position built around your schedule and your goals — with a whole system behind you.

What that actually looks like:

Real schedule flexibility — we build around your life, not the other way around. A growth path you drive — your goals, your pace, and no ceiling on what you can earn as you grow. Hands-on education and one-on-one coaching, in the salon, not a login to a video library. A marketing engine and front desk that keep new clients flowing — filling your chair is our job, not yours. And a drama-free team held to one standard, owner included.

Portsmouth, NH. NAHA award-winning, 1,200+ five-star reviews. Come tour the space and see for yourself.

What you’ll do:

Deliver an exceptional guest experience from consultation through checkout — every guest, every visit

Perform cutting, coloring, and styling services to Oomph's quality standard

Prebook guests before they leave and recommend home care that fits their hair (we coach you on both — and they're how you grow your income here)

Know your numbers: track your prebooking rate and retail per client, and review them in regular one-on-ones with support to hit your goals

Participate in ongoing in-salon education, including Davines color and product training

Keep your station and shared spaces clean, stocked, and guest-ready

Communicate professionally with guests and teammates — we hold everyone to the same standard, leadership included

Maintain an active NH cosmetology license and complete required continuing education

What you need:

Active NH cosmetology license (or license pending — new grads welcome to apply)

Solid foundation in cutting and color, or the coachability to build one fast

Availability for a consistent weekly schedule we'll build together

Comfort with technology — we run our booking, numbers, and communication digitally (Phorest experience a plus, not required)

You’ll thrive here if:

You want to grow — your income, your skills, your clientele — and you're open to coaching to get there

You don't need a full book to say yes: new stylists get priority on new client flow, so open availability is an asset here, not a liability

You bring energy to a team instead of drama

You take ownership of your craft and your numbers instead of waiting to be told

You want education that actually happens, and you'll show up for it
