Careers at Modish Salon

Confidence. Grow. Thrive.

At Modish Salon, we don’t do cookie-cutter careers; we build confident artists.
Whether you’re fresh out of beauty school or ready to level up your stylist game, Modish is the place where education meets elevation, and talent turns into long-term success.

We’re looking for long-term teammates who crave growth, value accountability, and want to build a brand of their own within a supportive, no-drama environment.

Why Join Modish?

In-House Education That Builds Confidence

Our education program is hands-on, immersive, and tailored to your pace. You’ll master the Modish method in cutting, coloring, extensions, and styling using brands like Aveda, Milbon, Leaf & Flower, Brazilian Blowout, and VoMor.

Clear Growth Plan + Level System

Every stylist has a transparent growth roadmap, complete with quarterly reviews, KPIs, and milestones. We track your wins and guide your goals—because growth isn’t optional here, it’s expected.

Support to Build Your Brand

From day one, you’ll be working the full system, from front desk to chair. You’ll learn how to run your own business with Modish-level support. Oh, and yes, we’ve got an in-house social media manager to help amplify your artistry.

Education + Exposure

Access to Aveda and Leaf & Flower educators, local fashion shows, community collabs, and industry events like Aveda Locals Night. This is where networking and leveling up happen IRL.

Team Culture > Competition

We lift each other up. Always. Our team shares clients, celebrates each other’s wins, and shows up for one another. We don’t do gossip, gatekeeping, or ego trips—just growth, kindness, and accountability.

Thrive With Benefits That Matter:

  • Flexible scheduling
  • Quarterly check-ins + goal setting
  • Holiday Rest Periods
  • Transparent metrics via Zenoti app
  • Continued education (in-house + external)
  • Personal brand building & content support
  • Life resources: Financial wellness support via external partners
  • Products stocked + pro-discounts
  • Training across the whole business (not just behind the chair)
  • PTO coming soon!

Who We’re Looking For:

  • Beauty school grads with at least 2 years of work experience (retail, restaurant, etc.)
  • Stylists who want to stay, grow, and build a future here, not just pass through.
  • Self-motivated artists who want the tools to operate independently (within a high-support
    team setting).
  • People who value kindness, accountability, and growth over ego, drama, or shortcuts.
