Looking for your next step in the beauty industry? If you’ve ever found joy in welcoming guests, weaving magic with your salon skills, or sharing beauty tips online, this opportunity might feel tailor-made for you.

Our team is a friendly bunch always eager to learn, laugh, and support one another. We take pride in creating a warm, welcoming space, where “regulars” become friends and every day brings new faces (and hairstyles!).
