...Now let’s talk Nitty Gritty.

It is generally understood that Chair Rental is ideal for a stylist with 50% or more pre-existing clients already in their books...
...BUT...
we understand that some people are moving to Rochester from out of the area or may be in need some extra assistance to transition into the role of Rental Stylist.

This is why we provide New Renter Checklists & Resources and offer 2 rental options for full time renters.

Full Time Renter Options

Set Weekly Rates or Commission Based Rent

(Rent based on a % commission of how much you made that week. Read more below.)

Weekly Chair Rental

• $360 / week = 6 day rental access (60 day rate)
• $300 / week (rent discount of $60/week) available to a FT Renter with a Team Skill Trade Agreement in place.

Percentage-Based Chair Rental

To ease into renting, FT team members are eligible to request percentage-base chair rental at the rates below*:

• 40% of Weekly Gross Sales due to Parlour until $500/week in Gross Service Sales is achieved.
• 50% of Weekly Gross Sales due to Parlour once $600+/week is achieved for 3 consecutive weeks.
• 60% of Weekly Gross Sales due to Parlour once a $1000+/week is achieved for 3 consecutive weeks.
• *This percentage system is designed to encourage renters to switch to paying a set weekly booth rental (the more profitable option) as soon as possible.

Why Apprentice?

The Curl Market has been growing rapidly since 2010 and we need Curl Specialists faster than any other area in our salon (and possibly even in the industry). If you are eager to learn the most profitable cutting, coaching, & styling skills in the salon, please apply.

Do you have a bittersweet relationship with Curls? We understand. That’s usually because, historically and currently, cosmetology school curriculum does not adequately prepare stylists for this high-demand, niche market. We want to prepare you.

Your primary job will be to assist a seasoned Mentor and do weekly practice and demo of your acquired skills.

Learning the fundamentals alongside a seasoned Mentor will also help you discern valuable specialized curl courses for future study.

For Colorists: Coloring Curls

Do you have passion for hair color? 

To be an excellent Colorist is to be using both the logical problem solving part of your brain, and the artistic, intuitive part to achieve an ideal outcome. Unlike cutting, hair coloring has aspects that are quite abstract. Because we cannot see the process, we have to plan strategically and trust the outcome.

Why Apprentice in an Area Covered in Hair School?

The Western New York and Finger Lakes area has a rich history of producing excellent colorists. It is essential to get additional training and position yourself as an expert in order to stand out in the mature Rochester market.

The ideal Reception Coordinator is socially saavy, trustworthy, and has the heart of servant leadership.

Their primary function is to act as liaison between guest and staff, facilitating appointment reservations and all communications related to both. This person must think well under pressure and consistently represent the salon and the brand in its best light to guests. Our reception coordinator has their hands on all guest touch points, both digital and in salon. They are aware of guest communications, work very closely with the owner to support brand specific tasks, and anticipate the clerical needs of stylists throughout the day. The reception coordinator manages transitions between guests coming and going.

Requirements:

• Some evening hours are required.
• Basic math skills, as well as working knowledge of Apple and Google productivity software.
• Social IQ is a MUST.
• Physical capacity to move back/forth and up/down frequently. Reception coordinator is often on their feet assisting guests and/or stylists to facilitate guest comforts. A standing desk with comfort bar height chair is used and allows for this constant readiness.
• The ideal candidate must have consistent work history, reliable transportation and be able to work independently to create and manage their weekly and daily task list.

Bonus Points:

• Familiarity with salon booking software (especially Vagaro) is a huge plus.
• Familiarity with salon reception responsibilities is a huge plus.
• Comfort shooting and editing iPhone pictures/videos is also a plus.
• City of Rochester residents a plus. (Parlour benefits from City of Rochester grants and programs whenever available. If equally qualified candidates are being considered, Parlour is beholden to consider City of Rochester residents first.)
