ABOUT YOU:

You LOVE to set goals and GROW. Working with a team of other artists keeps you inspired! Staying on task and focused isn't too hard for you when you love what you do. You revel in showing off a clean(stain free), well maintained workspace to all your clients and get excited for a group gab between other salon guests and artists alike. You're the type to help your fellow artist out; whether it's a sweep sweep here, or a sanispray there, you know team work makes the dream work! Client comfort and satisfaction has always been at the forefront of what you do, and you want to be around other artists who feel the same way. You know that a large part of providing the best service possible to your guest, is making the right product recommendations and you feel confident in your ability to do so. You're comfortable with an online booking system and require minimal guidance in navigating social media, booking software and a pos system.
