Plant Street is booming, which sounds like a good thing for stylists until you realize it also means a new salon opens every other month and your best clients get poached constantly. Our salon in DeLand is established, steady, and the owner is invested in stylists for the long haul.
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

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

Assistant, junior stylist, senior stylist, master stylist, educator. Every level has clear standards, pay increases, and support to move up.
Who We're Looking For

- 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.

- 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.
