Good Hair. Good People. Great Work!

At Diaspora Salon, we love what we do, and it shows. Curls, coils, twists, good conversation, familiar music, and a whole lot of personality all have a place at our table. Since 2015, we’ve been a salon that celebrates Black culture, creativity, and the art of cutting, coloring, styling and caring for naturally textured hair.

We believe in beautiful hair, exceptional hospitality, always learning and getting better at what we do, and having each other’s backs. And around here, teamwork is everything.

We’re looking for a licensed cosmetologist who loves the craft, takes pride in the details, and is fueled by excellence.

What We’re Looking For

Someone who genuinely loves hair- and we mean more than just doing it. We’re looking for someone who’s curious about the craft, committed to education, and just as passionate about helping clients understand and care for their hair as they are about creating beautiful styles.

You may be a good fit if you:

Hold a current Maryland cosmetology license
Have strong cutting, coloring, and styling skills
Love working with natural hair
Care about the details: a thorough consultation, a beautiful finish, consumer education, healthy hair and next appointment on the books
Work well within a team versus independently
Have at least two years of salon experience (preferred)
Enjoy people, conversation, and creating a memorable experience for all clients
Are dependable, professional, and take initiative
Welcome feedback and coaching, and genuinely want to grow

What You’ll Do

Create beautiful styles, colors, shapes and treatments for all natural hair types.
Lead consultations and thoroughly educate clients to help them understand, and care for their hair between salon visits
Recommend products and services that truly meet their needs
Build lasting client relationships through great service
Work alongside colleagues and pitch in where needed to keep the day running smoothly
Take part in continuing education (semi-annual) and help the salon keep growing
Other duties as assigned by management

What We Expect

We maintain high standards in a busy, team-oriented environment where everyone plays an important role. We value people who take initiative, work efficiently, pay attention to the details, and take pride in contributing to the salon's success.That means managing your time, paying attention to the details, taking initiative, and being accountable for your work. We don't expect you to know everything on day one, but we do expect you to be willing to learn, accept feedback, and consistently put what you've learned into practice.

What You’ll Receive

$21.18- 24.32/hour plus tips. You’re paid a steady hourly wage, so your pay doesn’t depend on commission.

An education allowance of up to $750 a year after six months, increasing to $1,500 after one year
In-house coaching, hands-on training and mentoring
