careers
commission hair stylist
at yello, we view hair as a professional career. that’s why we only work professional hours (monday-friday) and save your weekends for you to enjoy life. because of this, we are limited in our schedule and only look to hire the perfect fit for our vision. someone who is great with people, motivated to learn, and helps inspire those around them.
we’ve designed a growth-focused path for stylists to receive professional training and ongoing support to build your books.
we’re proud to say that within twelve months of being on the floor, we’ve helped fill 90% or more of all of our stylists' books. our hands on training, integrated marketing strategies, and strong brand presence make it easier for you to grow a loyal (and amazing) client base. you will also have the opportunity to increase your income annually through higher commission rates, faster timing, and increased pricing.
in addition, we give the option for an exclusive opportunity to yello stylists: chair rental access. this is an optional career path (available only to commission stylists at yello) for those who have grown with us—giving our dedicated stylists the chance to transition into an independent role while still benefiting from the support, culture, and community at yello.
as an independent contractor you'll be given more freedom as well as more responsibility toward helping new stylists reach their full potential. you will be responsible for training and empowering our newest stylists to help transition them to the floor while they will in turn help offset your workload. we’ll continue to support you with resources to help manage your books, handle finances, and stay on top of taxes through our monthly financial reports.
we created yello to support stylists at every stage. we love what we do—and we’re excited that you're interested in a long term career with us.
