Work With Us
At CANVAS
we’re committed to building a diverse, encouraging, and collaborative working environment—the kind of salon that's less toxic, and more empowering.
Our goal is to enable stylists to create independent success while working within a commission-based salon.
We offer a defined system of goal-setting, budgeting, marketing and decision-making tools that apply to all aspects of our business. This system enhances our focus and hones the entrepreneurial skills of every driven stylist:
- Clear framework to increase yearly earning
- Support and tracking of sales and service goals
- Scripts for productive consultations
- Best practices for increasing referrals
- Guide to rebooking and client retention
- Outline for self-promotion efforts, including social media
The end result is a high-achieving team that celebrates new accomplishments together.
CANVAS isn’t suited for the hobbyist hair dresser, we’re interested in helping you achieve your career goals, as well as personal goals.
A WorldWide Pandemic Taught Us To Value Our Time.
Times are changing. No one should be double booking, which is why we’ve simplified the booking process. Consider yourself a session artist, who books appointments in blocks of time giving you complete control of your income and creates flexibility in order to customize each guest’s appointment to their needs and budget.
New Talent Program? We’re the only salon in Alamance County with one.
The #1 Reason stylists leave their career before the 5 year mark? Lack of Support, Education, and Realistic Expectations.
Beauty School teaches you to pass state board, our New Talent Program, BLANK CANVAS, teaches you how to be a well-rounded and successful professional.
If you’ve recently graduated or have less than 2 years behind the chair with steady clientele and you’re motivated, we can help!
SALON CULTURE
We are an inclusive space and prefer to work with kickass people who respect one another, no matter their differences. Our culture starts with treating everyone like adults. We trust you to take responsibility for yourself and your career. We know your success will speak for itself, and so will you.
We are here to help you succeed & become future proof.
Each member of the CANVAS team is focused on growth and improvement. There are so many tools at your fingertips at CANVAS Salon, you just have to choose to participate. You will have one-on-one career and self-improvement coaching in addition to in-salon educational events. And are encouraged to observe or shadow our stylists during your downtime or days off.
NO BOOTH RENT. We offer a commission pay structure instead of booth rent.
Although commission can sound like a dirty word in our industry, many stylists forget that while they feel like they have more freedom working on their own the truth is working at a commission salon means you make 100% and you don’t have to worry about all the red tape and paperwork of renting. Let us take care of the business side of things so you can focus on your craft.

CANVAS Salon is not your average or typical salon.
We’re an inclusive space full of stylists with their own style and background, where everyone charges for their time and not what the industry thinks we should charge, or the person next to us.
We believe in challenging ourselves to break down the barriers of what’s possible.
We believe in being good stewards to the environment and only partner with companies that align with those same values, like Cult&King, LOMA, Surface, and All Nutrient.
We believe that education is the cornerstone of our success.
We believe in hair care for all and with over 400 (5) Star reviews, our clients agree.
You’ve Outgrown Going Solo. Now What?
The freedom of your own booth or suite was thrilling – for a while. But now…
- You miss the buzz. Craving the energy of a team, the inspiration that comes from watching others work.
- Growth feels stalled. You want feedback, mentorship, and the chance to learn cutting-edge techniques… but where to find them?
- Work-life balance? What’s that? Between finding your own clients, ordering supplies, and doing your own taxes, what’s left for YOU?
Unleash Your Potential at CANVAS.
Imagine this:
- Steady income, no more feast-or-famine. A dependable paycheck takes the pressure off and lets you focus on the fun part – the hair!
- No More Going it Alone. Enjoy the freedom of coming into work and doing great hair, not running to the supply store or trying to remember what tax documents you need to file, we’ve got you covered!
- Support at every turn. Educational opportunities up to 4x a year, a stocked supply room, snacks in the back when you’re too booked to grab lunch, even a front desk to handle appointments (or handle your own)… it’s all about you doing your best work.
- A sense of community. Collaborate with like-minded stylists, bounce ideas around, even refer clients back and forth. Success feels sweeter when it’s shared.

Sick of the booth-rent hustle? Join a crew of passionate, talented stylists where collaboration rocks and your creativity shines. A place where you can ditch the independent grind and focus on what you love most – your craft.
- Stability and Security: Commission salons offer a steadier income stream than the unpredictable nature of booth rental. Benefits packages (health insurance, paid time off, etc.) provide additional security.
Reduced Overhead: No need to worry about buying your own products, booking software, or salon equipment. All this is provided, making life significantly less stressful.
Mentorship and Growth: Especially with education-focused salons, there’s ample opportunity to learn from experienced stylists, take classes, and advance your skills in a way that’s difficult to do solo.
Built-in Clientele: Commission salons often have an established client base, reducing the pressure to constantly find new clients. You can start filling your chair faster.
Collaboration and Camaraderie: The social aspect can be huge! Trading tips, getting feedback, celebrating wins, and commiserating on tough days creates a supportive environment many independent stylists miss.
Focus on Your Art: With admin and logistics taken care of, stylists can focus purely on the creative aspects of their work, often leading to more job satisfaction.
Professionalism and Reputation: Being part of an established salon can boost your own reputation and enhance your perceived value for attracting new clientele.
Booth rent is a constant financial burden. The unpredictable income and lack of security make it hard to plan for the future.
- Craving growth? You want to level up in your favorite techniques but feel stuck without support.
- Work shouldn’t be isolating. You miss the buzz of a creative team and a welcoming space for everyone.
