How to Hire Stylists
Your team makes or breaks your salon. Here's how to find talent that builds your business — not just fills chairs.
Where to Find Talent
- Post on beauty-specific job boards (BehindTheChair, StyleSeat)
- Attend local cosmetology school career days
- Offer a working interview (paid trial day)
- Lead with your culture and vision, not just money
- Be transparent about commission structure upfront
- Show them your tech stack — top talent wants modern tools
Red Flags
- Can't show a portfolio or social media presence
- Talks negatively about every previous employer
- Asks only about time off and flexibility
- Unwilling to do a working interview
- Doesn't ask about the business or growth plans
Interview Questions That Actually Matter
Q1:What does your ideal client experience look like?
Q2:How do you handle a client who's unhappy with their service?
Q3:What's your rebooking strategy?
Q4:How do you build a personal clientele?
Q5:Where do you see yourself in 2 years?
Q6:What salon culture makes you thrive?
