We have strong business building systems along with master stylists that have been with us over 15 years as mentors to inspire you with a clear career path to earn, learn, and live a better life! Part of our team's success comes from a well-balanced and flexible work schedule. We have part and full-time positions available so we can work together to create a custom schedule to optimize your personal and professional life.

Training is provided to ensure you’re ready for any guest or service that may sit in your chair. We also provide education on social media marketing, effective service consultations, and dialogue for educating your guests on proper home care & products. We want you to be 100% confident in the services you’re providing...we set the roadmap and you set the pace. We contribute a yearly $500 maximum towards education dollars for each service provider, in addition to bringing in advanced educators for in-salon classes.

Training / Assisting Required : These days will consist of supporting the stylists schedules - you’re accepting the role of housekeeper and day maker with the salon, stylists, and guests. A typical assisting day is fast paced with minimal downtime. You will have a great opportunity to be mentored by co-workers, connect with guests, and learn to multitask at a high level. This is like an "internship" prior to earning a chair on the salon floor that will include one-on-one coaching time each week.

Training Length: Our training program is self-paced and fully determined by your level of desire and motivation to advance. The minimum length of time is 3-6 months. You will be evaluated weekly on your growth and skill in all services. All Legato stylists participate in about 5 core classes yearly, about every 8 weeks, that serve as an excellent source of education - we know that learning never ends.
