Here's what you actually get at The Warehouse Salon:

  • Stable clientele that doesn't bounce between 10 new salons every year.
  • Room to grow your column without rent hikes every lease renewal.
  • Real continuing education, not just vendor pitches disguised as classes.
  • Support staff and a front desk that treats you like a professional.
  • A downtown location with parking that doesn't cost you money every shift.

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

We're not trying to fill a chair. We're trying to build a team. If you're coachable, reliable, and you take the craft seriously, we want to meet you. Here's what matters to us:

  • Active Florida cosmetology, barber, or specialty license (or enrolled in school).
  • Clean work ethic. Show up on time, ready to go.
  • Willingness to learn. We run real education, and we expect you to use it.
  • Team player attitude. No drama, no gossip, no tearing down coworkers.
  • Client-first mindset. The book follows the service, not the other way around.

The Commute from Winter Garden

From Winter Garden, the cleanest route is FL-429 north to I-4 East, then exit 114 or 116 for DeLand. Plan for 45 miles and about an hour. You're heading away from Orlando commuter traffic, so mornings move. The salon is at 1782 S Woodland Blvd, easy parking right out front.

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.

Ready to Make the Move?
