Cosmetologist

Alright, let's talk about this stylist role at Hair Cuttery in Philadelphia, PA. I've been placing people in salons for over a decade, and this one's built differently. It's not your standard starter position. They're looking for someone who already knows their way around a salon floor and has the clients to prove it.

The Role

You'd be coming in as a licensed cosmetologist with your own book of business. The whole point here is to give you the platform, the traffic, and the support to just do your thing; and earn more doing it. If you're tired of paying for back bar products or waiting weeks for your tips, that stuff is gone here.

Your day is about delivering great cuts and color. We're talking precision work, fades, advanced coloring like balayage and highlights, texture services, and really nailing those client consultations. You won't be micromanaged. They want pros who operate with confidence and don't need constant direction.

What You'd Be Doing

• Performing haircuts, color services, and finishing work for your clients.
• Building relationships through personalized consultations.
• Using advanced techniques in cutting and coloring.
• Growing your service and retail commissions.
• Collecting your tips daily; they're yours at the end of each shift.

What You Need to Bring

A few non negotiables first. You must have a valid state cosmetology or barber license. You also need to be authorized to work in the U.S.; they don't offer sponsorship for this role.

• Strong technical skills in precision cutting, fades, and all types of color work.
• Experience with advanced services: highlights, balayage, texture treatments.
• A professional demeanor and the ability to work independently.
• A book of business generating $1,300 or more per week is preferred. Hitting that mark can qualify you for their higher commission tiers right away.

But here's the thing: if you're not quite at that $1,300/week level yet but you're ready to grow into it? They want to hear from you too. There's a path here to build up to it.

The Money & The Perks

Let's get straight to it. Your pay is based on performance. Top stylists here earn between $45 and $88+ an hour. The goal is getting you past $100k. You grow your earnings through service commissions, retail commissions, and those daily tips.

• Match or Exceed Your Rates: Keep your current service prices or set them higher.
• No Fees: We supply all back bar and styling products at no cost to you. Ever.
• Instant Client Support: They drive guest traffic with social media, local marketing, and in salon promotions to help fill your chair.
• Scheduling: Flexible hours available; full time or part time.

The Benefits That Actually Matter

• Medical insurance plans are available; dental coverage too; vision coverage included; life insurance; disability insurance options are there as well.
• A 401(k) plan for saving down the road.
• A paid time off program includes vacation pay.
• A ton of free advanced education including access to an internal training team.
• The chance for top performers to travel for celebration events.
