What is the Assistant Program?
The Salon Assistant Program is an intermediate step between graduating cosmetology school and entering the workforce as a stylist. Our two-year program molds young talent, and provides them with the guidance, education, and mentorship to hone their skills and develop a clientele prior to taking the floor.
Our assistant program is not just washing hair and sweeping. Assistants are under the mentorship of Master Stylists Alisson (Director of Salon Assistants) and Andrea (Director of Salon Education), who create a curriculum of both traditional classes and hands-on experience, and tailor the coursework to each assistant as necessary.
Through this program and beyond, INTERLOCKS assistants and stylists are able to receive further education on everything from corrective color, updos, men’s cuts, balayage, extensions, and everywhere in between. This can mean traveling to attend conferences and events, learning from industry educators that travel to us, or taking classes hosted right here by our own Senior and Master Stylists.
Our Salon Assistant Program has resulted in 70% of our current stylist staff. Interested? Apply now!
