Associate

At Changing Heads, excellence in craft meets an elevated salon experience.
We deliver services that are as personal as they are professional, ensuring every guest feels confident and cared for. We’re seeking an Associate—a paid, hands-on learning opportunity designed for emerging professionals who want to grow beyond the basics and build a long-term career in a luxury salon environment.
What You’ll Do
- Learn by doing: Work side-by-side with senior stylists on real services—far beyond shampooing—gaining exposure to cutting, color, styling, and finishing.
- Support the guest journey: Assist with consultations, prep, service flow, and post-service recommendations.
- Develop salon-ready skills: Practice professional standards, timing, product knowledge, and guest communication throughout the day.
What You’ll Bring
- A current cosmetology license (or near completion) and a strong desire to learn.
- Coachability, professionalism, and a team-first mindset.
- Curiosity about trends, techniques, and products—and the discipline to practice them.
What You’ll Experience
- Paid learning environment with structured mentorship and on-the-floor education.
- Exposure to an elevated, fashion-forward salon culture and high standards of service.
- A clean, inspiring workspace that prioritizes health, safety, and guest care.
- Clear pathways to advance toward a stylist chair as skills and readiness develop.
