Salaries

Current salaries for hairdressers around the country can be found at https://www1.salary.com/hairdresser-Salaries.html. In our opinion, these figures are sad, because stylists work hard and deserve to make a good living. Our stylists make two to four times these figures for several reasons. One is that many stylists figuring into these averages are in smaller, less expensive markets which charge less. Another reason is that many stylists don’t actively manage their careers and education, two things that are intimately intertwined. Growth comes with education, dedication, and hard work. The infamous six-figure stylist isn’t a pipe dream. It’s achievable. It just isn’t achievable overnight. Or in a year or two. Is it achievable in three years on the floor? Probably not, but you can get most of the way there. In four? Yes, but like most things in life worth achieving you’ll need to put in the work and be open to change. Bring a positive attitude, a willingness to work hard, learn and grow. Do those things, and we’ll get you there.

Interested in Being a Hair Model?

Hair Lounge Education Day is a bi-weekly workshop event combining the experience of our educators and eagerness of our associates in a training environment where we discuss, execute, and refine techniques and trends. All activity is for producing the cream of the crop, so all stylists achieve their Masters Degree to work as stylists in our salon (only 4% of stylists do so nationwide). It is on this day that future members of the Hair Lounge develop a solid command of their tools and techniques to draw from when offering services as official stylists. Most modeling appointments are scheduled several weeks to a month in advance. Must be confirmed by staff.
