Fresh out of school?

Our Associate Program is the perfect opportunity to refine your skills and get hands-on training while being part of an innovative salon culture. This self-paced, paid program will help you unleash your magic and elevate your career, allowing you to transition into a confident Level 1 stylist at Salon Eighty8. Our tight-knit, fun-loving team will support you every step of the way.

ASSOCIATE PROGRAM

Our Associates Program is designed to help you grow as a stylist while earning a living wage plus tips. This self-paced journey typically takes 6 to 9 months, depending on your hustle and progress. By the end of the program, you’ll be ready to step into the role of a Level 1 stylist, armed with the confidence and skills you need to thrive at Salon Eighty8.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

  • Hands-On Learning: Two to three days a week, you’ll assist our experienced stylists, including our salon owner Cynthia, with shampooing, blow-drying, toning, and other key salon tasks. This experience will give you the practical skills and confidence to work with clients’ hair while mastering the flow of the salon floor.

  • Opportunity Shifts: Once a week, you’ll have the chance to take on clients through an "opportunity shift," where you can invite friends, family, and your network to sit in your chair. As you grow and gain more experience, these shifts will increase, helping you build a loyal clientele on your journey to becoming a Level 1 stylist.

  • Education: Twice a month, you’ll attend in-depth, hands-on training sessions where we’ll cover advanced techniques in color, extensions, cuts, and more. You’ll practice on live models under the guidance of experienced stylists. Even after you graduate from the program, we encourage all of our stylists to continue their education with us.

  • Practice & Feedback: In your downtime, you’ll have the opportunity to practice on mannequins, receiving personalized feedback from our seasoned stylists. We want to ensure you have a strong foundation in cutting, coloring, and styling techniques before you graduate and take on your own clientele.
