Careers at Karen Allen Salon

Step into something more.

At Karen Allen Salon, we believe great careers start with great people, and even greater support. Whether you’re fresh out of beauty school or bringing years of experience to the chair, our two thriving Aveda salons offer a path that’s grounded in creativity, community, and care. With a structure designed to help you grow (not burn out), we’re proud to offer flexibility, mentorship, and benefits that value the whole person, not just the artist.

What We're All About:

Business Boosts

You build your clientele, we build your momentum.

Our structured six-tier stylist system gives you a clear, transparent path to promotion, complete with regular check-ins, bonus opportunities, and marketing support at every stage. From your first days behind the chair to advanced specializations, our admin team helps you fill your book while keeping your goals in sight. You’ll never be left wondering how to grow, we lay it out and walk with you.

Sense of Security

No scrambling. Just stability.

We’re a W-2 salon, so you’ll always have a consistent paycheck, even in the slow seasons. Our system starts with hourly pay and grows with you into commission, without ever sacrificing peace of mind. Plus, with health insurance, 401(k), and paid education baked in, you won’t be juggling side hustles to make it work. You’ll have a career you can actually rely on.

Team Thrills

Your people are here.

Two salons, one family. Whether you’re a brand-new intern or a seasoned stylist, you’ll find support, laughs, and inspiration around every corner. From collaborative education to group travel opportunities, we’re stronger because we learn and celebrate together. That’s what makes showing up feel exciting, not exhausting.

Power Partnerships

Aveda and beyond.

As proud Aveda salons, we’re committed to sustainability, quality, and artistry. But we don’t stop there. We’ve cultivated incredible relationships with Bellami, Color Space, and Back of Bottle (BOB), offering our team cutting-edge tools and techniques. You’ll get hands-on training with every brand we carry, and access to education through national conferences like Aveda Congress and Serious Business.

Amazing Advancements

From internship to industry leader.

Our education program is structured, paid, and built around real guest interaction. New talent gets early hands-on experience with coaching every step of the way. As you grow, our level system rewards both skill and leadership, so whether your goals include extensions, education, or management, we’ll help you carve your unique path.

Reliable Resources

We’ve got what you need, literally.

From stocked backbar and modern booking systems to professional cleaning support and a dedicated front desk team, we handle the logistics so you can focus on your guests. Our social media and marketing support help you build your following, while our culture keeps you connected. No booth fees, no product runs, no guesswork, just a strong foundation for your artistry.
