- We reach out within 48 hours. If you're a fit, Nick or a senior team member sets up a time to meet.
- Come in for a real conversation. Tour the salon, meet the team, talk about your goals. No pop quiz.
- Technical walkthrough if it makes sense. For stylists, we may ask you to show us a cut or color technique. No pressure, no gotcha.
