Questions
Training, answered.
- Do I need experience to apply?
- You need your cosmetology license or to be close to finishing it. Everything after that is taught here, in order, on a schedule.
- Is the training paid?
- Yes. You work as an assistant on the salon floor while you train, on a four day week, and your pay moves up as you clear each milestone.
- How long until I am behind my own chair?
- The technical foundation runs twenty six weeks. Colorist certification is a six month path on top of that, and clearing it is what earns you colour on the floor and a commission chair.
- What if I do not pass something?
- You retrain that competency and test again. Nobody is moved up early and nobody is quietly dropped. The standard is eighty seven percent, and it is the same standard for everyone.
- How do I apply?
- Email colormewickedhair@gmail.com or call (801) 999-0684 with a short note about where you are in your training and any work you want to show us.
