What you will do
- Run the shampoo bowl the Bilancio way: our technique, product selection, masques, and how extension hair is washed.
- Assist on color: rooting, toning, timing, ripping foils, mixing Aveda and Shades EQ.
- Assist on NBR® installs and re-tightens, and learn the rows from the first month.
- Blow dry and iron work on real guests, with feedback the same day.
- Keep the salon guest-ready: the floor, the stations, the retail shelf, the front.
- Work through the written ten-week training breakdown with your mentor, and practice on mannequins between guests.
Who it is for
- Licensed cosmetologist, or currently in school and close to your hours.
- Someone who read Nina's post on mentorship and thought "that is what I want".
- Willing to be corrected. The whole point is to build muscle memory in the right habits before you build it in the wrong ones.
- Available Tuesday to Saturday in San Rafael.
What you get
- A mentor who is a master colorist, NBR® licensed artist, and Vidal Sassoon trained cutter
- A written curriculum from week one, so you know what you are working on
- Extensions, color, and cutting taught on real guests, not just heads
- Aveda product and color education
- A small team with expectations written down and signed on day one
- A real path to your own chair, on your readiness, not a calendar
