Hair Stylist at Shan Hair
Shan Hair is Boston's go-to for curly and textured hair, led by curl specialist Shan Casey (30+ years experience, booked 8+ months out). Our other stylist is also booked months ahead — there's real demand and room for you to build a loyal clientele fast.Compensation
You'll start on hourly pay ($25/hour) while you build your clientele, then move to commission once your book picks up — which happens quickly here given the demand. That means steady income early on, with strong upside as you grow.
What You'll Do
Deliver expert cuts, color, and styling tailored to each client — with a focus on celebrating natural texture. Build real relationships with clients in a clean, professional, welcoming space.
What We're Looking For
- Licensed cosmetologist, 2+ years behind the chair
- Confident with cutting and color; curl experience a plus (or eager to learn)
- Strong communicator, team player, detail-oriented
Why Stylists Love It Here
- Immediate growth — massive built-in demand
- Ongoing education, especially in curly cutting/styling
- LGBTQ+ friendly, inclusive, community-focused culture
