Associate Hairstylist

Ready to build a thriving career behind the chair — with real structure, mentorship, and support? Whether you're fresh out of beauty school or an experienced stylist looking to sharpen your skills before stepping into a full book, this role is for someone who takes their craft seriously and is in it for the long haul.

Ihloff's Associate Stylist program is a structured, immersive path from license to chair — one of Tulsa's most intentional stylist training programs. You'll work side-by-side with Elite-level stylists, train hands-on, and build the skills and habits of a successful long-term career.

Why Ihloff

Our training program, Ihloff Academy, gives new stylists a strong foundation through Aveda virtual education, in-person technical training, and model work before taking guests of their own.
