Job description


Join a locally owned Great Clips salon team and start building real-world salon experience while you're still in school. The Hair Stylist Intern role is designed for cosmetology and barber students who want to learn what salon life is really like, connect with a professional team, and prepare for a smooth transition into a licensed stylist role after graduation.

This opportunity is ideal for students who are curious, motivated, and excited to grow their skills in a supportive salon environment.

WNW Inc is offering an unpaid job shadow opportunity for cosmetology students interested in gaining hands-on salon experience in a professional Great Clips environment. Students will observe licensed stylists performing haircuts, learn about daily salon operations, and experience customer service in a fast-paced salon setting.
As part of the shadow experience, students will complete a haircut on a mannequin to fulfill cosmetology school requirements. This opportunity is designed to help students build confidence, improve technical skills, and gain real-world exposure to the beauty industry.

Why you'll love it here

Great Clips salons offer internship experiences that help students learn, grow, and feel confident stepping into the industry:

  • Exposure to a successful, stable salon brand and professional salon environment
  • The opportunity to build relationships with experienced stylists and salon leaders
  • Hands-on learning around salon operations, customer service, and teamwork
  • Opportunities to observe and support haircutting and finishing techniques, as allowed by state regulations
  • Experience using salon systems, tools, and technology
  • A supportive setting to ask questions, learn expectations, and understand day-to-day salon life
  • A pathway to future opportunities as a licensed stylist, where available

Program structure, scheduling, and responsibilities may vary by salon location, as internship programs are created and managed by individual Great Clips salon organizations.

What you bring to the team

To be considered for a Hair Stylist Intern opportunity, you'll need:

  • Current enrollment in a cosmetology or barber program
  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn
  • Strong communication skills and a professional mindset
  • A desire to work as part of a team and support a great salon experience
  • Reliability, curiosity, and openness to feedback

FAQ

    A: Compensation, if offered, varies by salon organization. Details will be shared during the interview process.
  • Q: Will I be cutting hair as an intern?
    A: Intern responsibilities vary by location and must follow state regulations. Most interns observe, assist, and learn rather than perform full services.
  • Q: Does this role lead to a job after graduation?
    A: Employment is not guaranteed, but many salons use internship programs to connect with students who may be a good fit after licensure.

About Great Clips

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Great Clips, Inc. was established in Minneapolis, Minnesota by founders David Rubenzer and Steve Lemmon in 1982, a time when most people received haircuts in one of three ways: in full-service hair salons, from barbershops or at home. As a stylist and businessman, David could see that the industry was changing. Customers were looking for a hair salon service that could fit their busy lifestyles and desire for value. To be part of that change – rather than find themselves competing with it – David and Steve developed the then-radical concept of a walk-in haircare salon with weekend and evening hours, offering customers a select list of services, and providing benefits for stylists. After the founders opened several successful hair salons, Ray Barton joined David and Steve as an owner in March 1983. With Ray's help and expertise in franchising, the trio set about growing the Great Clips hair salon brand. That success continues through today.
