Join Salon 5014 as an Associate and train inside our beautifully renovated, luxe salon. This accelerated 6-month program combines hands-on 'hands in hair' service experience, focused business training, and marketing + social media skill development so new grads become confident, top-producing professionals. The owner is visible and supportive of the team; day-to-day training, coaching and performance check-ins are led by our Team Leader and salon educators.
What You'll Do
• Work directly on services (cuts, color, styling) under educator supervision - real, billable chairs.

• Learn color theory, consultation technique, sanitation, and retail fundamentals.
• Practice client retention strategies, pre-booking, and basic upsells.
• Build a professional portfolio and learn how to market your work on social media.
• Cross-train front desk duties to understand salon operations.
• Contribute to day-to-day salon upkeep and team efforts.
Program Training & Support
• Structured curriculum with weekly practicals and marketing deliverables.
• Monthly coaching/check-ins led by the Team Leader/Educator (mindset, client growth, professionalism).
• Learn top performer secrets for consultations, pre-booking, retail, and social content creation.
• Opportunity to showcase your work during grand reopening promotions to attract clients.
Note: Successful completion and high performance may qualify you for stylist consideration, but promotion is not automatic.

• Coachable, punctual, and growth-minded with a professional presence.
• Eager to learn social marketing and actively build a clientele.
