Job SummaryHiring a stylist who wants freedom AND backup.
Most stylists think the choice is: rent a booth for flexibility, or take a salon job and give up control. At Oomph, you don't pick. This is a W2 position built around your schedule and your goals — with a whole system behind you.
What that actually looks like: Real schedule flexibility — we build around your life, not the other way around. A growth path you drive — your goals, your pace, and no ceiling on what you can earn as you grow. Hands-on education and one-on-one coaching, in the salon, not a login to a video library. A marketing engine and front desk that keep new clients flowing — filling your chair is our job, not yours. And a drama-free team held to one standard, owner included.
Portsmouth, NH. NAHA award-winning, 1,200+ five-star reviews. Come tour the space and see for yourself.
What you'll do:
- Deliver an exceptional guest experience from consultation through checkout — every guest, every visit
- Perform cutting, coloring, and styling services to Oomph's quality standard
- Prebook guests before they leave and recommend home care that fits their hair (we coach you on both — and they're how you grow your income here)
- Know your numbers: track your prebooking rate and retail per client, and review them in regular one-on-ones with support to hit your goals
- Participate in ongoing in-salon education, including Davines color and product training
- Keep your station and shared spaces clean, stocked, and guest-ready
- Communicate professionally with guests and teammates — we hold everyone to the same standard, leadership included
- Maintain an active NH cosmetology license and complete required continuing education
What you need:
- Active NH cosmetology license (or license pending — new grads welcome to apply)
- Solid foundation in cutting and color, or the coachability to build one fast
- Availability for a consistent weekly schedule we'll build together
- Comfort with technology — we run our booking, numbers, and communication digitally (Phorest experience a plus, not required)
You'll thrive here if:
- You want to grow — your income, your skills, your clientele — and you're open to coaching to get there
- You don't need a full book to say yes: new stylists get priority on new client flow, so open availability is an asset here, not a liability
- You bring energy to a team instead of drama
- You take ownership of your craft and your numbers instead of waiting to be told
- You want education that actually happens, and you'll show up for it
