Salon Assistant - Associate Designer

If you’re early in your career and serious about becoming a great stylist — this is where it starts.

Everyone begins somewhere. But not every salon sets you up to actually grow.

At Lola Hair Studio, we’ve built a $1.4M, award-winning salon where assistants aren’t just support — they’re future stylists in training.

You’ll be learning every day. Not just watching — doing. Not just helping — developing.

What your days look like

You’ll work side-by-side with experienced stylists, supporting services while building your skills in real time:

• Assisting with shampooing, color, treatments, and styling
• Creating a five-star experience for every guest
• Supporting front desk flow — booking, checkout, organization
• Keeping the space clean, elevated, and running smoothly
  

You’re part of everything — because that’s how you learn.

Who this is for

Someone who:

• Is in cosmetology school or early in their career (0–2 years)
• Is hungry to learn and excited to grow
• Shows up with a positive, team-first attitude
• Pays attention to the details and takes pride in their work
• Wants more than just a job — wants a career in this industry

What makes this different

We don’t believe in leaving assistants to figure it out on their own.

Through Lola Academy, you’ll have a clear path forward — with hands-on training, mentorship, and the support needed to grow into a full stylist.

You’ll be surrounded by a team that:

• Holds a high standard
• Shows up for each other
• Takes growth seriously
  

Because that’s how real careers are built.

What you’ll get

• Starting at $16/hr + quarterly bonuses
• Complimentary hair services
• Ongoing education + mentorship
• Flexible scheduling
• PTO + employee discounts
• A team that genuinely invests in your future
  

This is your opportunity to step into a salon where you’re not just helping — you’re building something.

If you’re ready to learn, grow, and be part of a team that takes your future seriously — we’d love to meet you. Apply with your Portfolio.
