Apopka Stylists: Reverse-Commute to DeLand, Skip the Orlando Grind.

Why Apopka Stylists Drive North Instead

Everyone in Apopka is fighting to get into Orlando every morning. You can fight it too, or you can flip the commute, drive north to DeLand, and actually enjoy your morning. We're a commission-based team salon with 1,372+ five-star reviews, health benefits, paid vacation, and paid education.

Orange County is saturated with stylists fighting for clients at chain salons. DeLand's college town (Stetson University) gives you a steady flow of new clients every semester plus long-term locals. Nick Mirabella, 27 years behind the chair, runs the floor.

Real Training, Real Certifications, Real Growth

Our team doesn't learn from YouTube. We invest in the kind of education that actually moves your career forward. Built into your schedule, not something you pay for on your day off.

Brand-Certified Training

Olaplex Certified. K18 Expert trained. Keune advanced color. Brazilian Blowout certified smoothing. Moroccanoil Ambassador program. We bring the educators in.

Advanced Techniques

Lived-in balayage, seamless hand-tied extensions, color correction, precision razor cuts, men's fade theory. The skills that actually separate a stylist from a technician.

Mentorship From Working Pros

Nicholas Mirabella still works behind the chair every week. You learn from people who are doing the work, not managing from a desk.

A Career Path That Moves

Assistant, junior stylist, senior stylist, master stylist, educator. Every level has clear standards, pay increases, and support to move up.

Why The Warehouse Salon DeLand Stands Apart

We're not just another Central Florida salon. The Warehouse Salon brand has two locations, NJ and DeLand FL, and a reputation built on 1,372+ verified five-star reviews. Clients drive from across Volusia, Seminole, Lake, and Flagler counties to sit in our chairs.

That reputation didn't happen by accident. It's the product of real training, real culture, and real standards. As a stylist here, you get to be part of that brand and benefit from the reputation it's built.

Owner Nicholas Mirabella has been behind the chair for 27 years and runs both locations hands-on. You're not being managed by a corporate office. You're learning from and working alongside a working pro.

Who We're Looking For

  • FL licensed cosmetologists or barbers done with Orlando commute
  • Apopka stylists tired of fighting for clients in saturated Orange County markets
  • Colorists, extension specialists, smoothing pros
  • Lash extension and brow artists
  • Apprentices who want real paid training

Open Positions

Hairstylist / Colorist

Full-time and part-time chairs open. Color, cuts, extensions, smoothing, blowouts. Build your book with real marketing behind you, not a booth rental where you're on your own.

Barber

Dedicated barber chair for skin fades, beard work, hot towel shaves, and classic cuts. Walk-ins and booked clients both. Paid vacation, real benefits.

Salon Assistant / Apprentice

Get paid while you learn from stylists with 20+ years behind the chair. Hands-on training in color, blowouts, and guest experience. Fast track to your own chair.

Lash & Brow Artist

Bring your lash extensions, lifts, tints, and brow services to a room full of built-in salon traffic. Cross-referrals from our hair and color clients from day one.

Easy Commute from Apopka

From Apopka take SR-429 north or US-441 / SR-46 east, then I-4 north to DeLand. About 38 miles, around 45-50 minutes in reverse-commute traffic. Way easier than anyone else in Apopka's morning drive.

1782 S Woodland Blvd, DeLand, FL 32720.

How the Interview Process Actually Works

No ghosting. No trick questions. Here's exactly what happens:

  1. Fill out the application. Takes about 2 minutes on Typeform. We read every single one.
  2. We reach out within 48 hours. If you're a fit, we set up a time to meet at the DeLand salon.
  3. Come in for a real conversation. Tour the salon, meet the team, talk about your goals.
  4. Technical walkthrough if it makes sense. For stylists, we may ask you to show us a cut or color technique.
  5. Offer or honest feedback either way. If it's not a fit, we tell you why. If it is, you'll have a clear picture of pay, hours, and growth path.

We pay on commission structure, not chair rental. You focus on great work. We handle marketing, booking, product, and overhead.
