The Role

We are hiring stylists for both Smithfield and East Greenwich. About 70% of our services are clipper cuts and short cuts. We need stylists who are confident with clippers, comfortable across all hair types, and good with kids.

What You Will Do

• Deliver clipper cuts, short cuts, and full-range styling services for children across all hair types and ages
• Create a calm, positive experience for kids and parents; the service starts before scissors do
• Execute cuts efficiently within BLVD booking system time formats
• Recommend and sell products based on individual client needs (10% commission on all product sales)
• Maintain a clean, organized station and contribute to the salon floor between appointments

Requirements

• Active Rhode Island cosmetology license (required; Massachusetts and other out-of-state licenses do not qualify)
• Minimum 2 years of professional experience post-cosmetology school
• Confident with clipper cuts across all hair types, which make up the majority of our service menu
• Availability for at least one weekend day (Saturday or Sunday) every week
• Strong advantage: Experience in a high-volume franchise or chain salon (Supercuts, Great Clips, or Sport Clips alumni are a great fit)
• Prior experience with children's salon services or family clientele
• Comfortable working afternoons, open to both Saturday and Sunday availability
• Interest in taking on additional responsibility over time, with a Lead Stylist path available

Benefits

• Built-in clientele from day one, with no book-building required
• You get paid whether the chair is full or not. Your hourly rate applies during the entire shift, not only when you are cutting
• Genuine pathway to Lead Stylist for the right candidate
• Small, supportive team with an owner who is in the building
• Compensation & Schedule: Pay: $16-$18/hr based on experience, plus tips on all services and 10% commission on product sales. Sunday hours are paid at time-and-a-half per Rhode Island law for hourly employees.
• Schedule: Salon hours are Mon and Wed-Fri 10:00 AM-6:00 PM, Sat 9:00 AM-5:00 PM, Sun 10:00 AM-5:00 PM. Closed Tuesdays. Opening and closing shifts are available on weekdays. At least one weekend day is required for all stylists. We currently need the most coverage in the afternoons and on weekends.
