Why Lola?
Build a Career, Not Just a Client List. We believe your career should continue evolving. Whether your goal is a six-figure income, advanced technical mastery, education, mentorship, leadership—or simply becoming exceptional at what you love—we help you create a path forward.
What You'll Do
As an Elite Designer, you'll create exceptional results while delivering the elevated experience our guests expect from Lola. You'll:
- Perform high-level hair services within your areas of expertise, including cutting, coloring, dimensional work, styling, extensions, or specialty services.
- Lead thorough consultations and confidently recommend what's possible for each guest.
- Create personalized service and home-care plans.
- Build strong, long-term guest relationships and retention.
- Continue developing your technical, consultation, service, and business skills.
- Maintain professional timing and service standards.
- Support associates and developing stylists working alongside you.
- Contribute to the cleanliness, presentation, energy, and success of the entire salon.
- Participate in education, team development, and salon initiatives.
- Represent the Lola brand professionally both inside and outside the salon.
You don't have to specialize in everything. We want you to develop the services and specialties you love while continuing to grow your career.
Who We're Looking For
You may be a great fit if you:
- Have 2+ years of experience behind the chair.
- Are motivated to grow your clientele, income, and career.
- Love creating an exceptional guest experience.
- Are confident in your craft while remaining coachable.
- Value education and believe there is always another level to reach.
- Are professional, reliable, polished, and prepared.
- Want to be part of a collaborative salon rather than simply working beside other stylists.
- Can receive feedback, take accountability, and communicate directly.
- Want success—but don't believe success has to come at the expense of your life.
How We Live Our Core Values
- HAPPINESS — We contribute to the energy of the room. You bring warmth and professionalism to guests and teammates. You celebrate other people's wins and understand that your energy contributes to the experience around you.
- GROWTH MINDSET — We never stop becoming better. You're experienced, but you're not finished learning. You welcome feedback, seek education, set goals, practice, and take ownership of your development.
- LIFE BALANCE — We build sustainable careers. You respect schedules, communicate proactively, manage your time professionally, and understand that preparation and organization create room for both career success and life outside the salon.
- BRAVE LEADERSHIP — We do what's right, even when it's uncomfortable. You communicate directly, own mistakes, follow standards when no one is watching, ask for help when you need it, and step up when something needs to be done.
- GENEROSITY — We look for ways to contribute. You share knowledge, support teammates, help developing stylists, give guests your full attention, and understand that the strongest salons are built when people want to see each other succeed.
