Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and established Hair Stylist with a strong, active client book to join our professional and modern salon in Philadelphia. This is an excellent opportunity for a self-driven stylist who wants the independence of running their own business without the overhead of a traditional lease. You manage your clients, your pricing, and your schedule, and you pay a commission to the salon owner to cover the cost of the shared space and amenities.

Responsibilities & Expectations

1. Client Management & Services

• Established Clientele Required: Must bring and maintain a substantial, active book of clients from day one.

• Branding: Manage your own marketing efforts (e.g., social media, business cards) to maintain and grow your personal brand and client base.

2. Financial & Business Structure

• Commission Fee to Owner: The Stylist will pay a set percentage of their gross service revenue to the salon owner to cover expenses such as rent, utilities, and common area maintenance.
• • Note: This is a contractor relationship. The stylist is responsible for their own taxes (1099), insurance, and personal business expenses.
• Pricing: Set and manage your own service pricing independently.
• Payment Processing: Manage your own payment processing (POS) and sales reporting.

3. Salon Professionalism

• License & Insurance: Maintain a current and valid Pennsylvania Cosmetology License and professional liability insurance.

• Strong portfolio of work (physical or digital).
• Proficiency in self-management, financial record-keeping, and client scheduling.
• Reliable, responsible, and business-minded work ethic.
