Job description

Are you passionate about hairstyling? Want to be your own boss?
We are looking for a stylist who is a goal-oriented self-starter, always improving and who believes in our mission. 
We create "Happiness Through Hairstyling®".
When you join Essence Salon, you will work in a highly skilled and creative team: cutting, coloring and styling hair. 
Our business model combines the best of being an Independent Contractor (booth renter) and an Employee.
We provide leadership, not management, to help you grow and meet your goals. You will prescribe, not sell, home hair care for your Guests to keep their hair looking great between visits. The environment is warm and friendly. Education and growth are constant. As a result, your haircuts and colors will become even more awesome, last longer and be easier to maintain. Your Guest service skills will continue to grow, helping you achieve a high Guest return rate.
This position provides an hourly wage and a commission based on a percentage of your service sales as well as a sales commission for the purchased hair care products that you prescribe. 
We provide excellent benefits and ample time off to live your life to the fullest. Our stylists typically work 3 or 4 days a week so they can live more outside of work.
This position requires a current California Barbering or Cosmetology license.
Experience cutting/coloring hair in a licensed salon is required.
Salon experience credit may be given based on the quality of your formal education and training (e.g. Sassoon, Toni & Guy, Paul Mitchell and Aveda).
Join us if you are a creative self-starter, believe in great Guest service, strive for technical excellence and enjoy working in a team environment.
