CAREERS @ Red Chair

A hairstylist is cutting a customer's hair in a salon, with another stylist blow-drying a client's hair nearby. The salon has wooden floors, modern lighting, and rainbow decorations in the background.

We’re Hiring!

Looking for your new salon home? Looking flex your creative side in a supportive, salon with neighborhood vibes? You’ve come to the right place. Red Chair is a one-of-a-kind space in the heart of Capitol Hill’s vibrant 15th Ave neighborhood, and we’re looking for hair wizards to join the family.

Why We’re Different (And What We’re Not)

We know the industry can be draining, so let’s be clear about our vibe. We are not:

  • A corporate chain. 

  • A pretentious, high-pressure salon.

  • A soul-crushing "churn and burn" 

  • A toxic ego battleground.

At Red Chair, you get a flexible schedule, a casual environment with high standards, and a team that actually has your back. We are an equal opportunity employer and a safe haven for ALL people.

The Goods (Perks & Pay)

We believe talented stylists should be paid well and treated like pros.

  • Earnings: $30–$60/hour potential (Base + Hourly Bonuses + Tips).

  • Balance: Consistent, flexible schedules. We are closed Sundays and Mondays.

  • Stability: Medical & Dental benefits available + Paid Time Off (PTO).

  • Growth: Ongoing education and growth opportunities to keep your craft sharp.

What We’re Looking For

If you have the skills and the right attitude, we want to meet you.

  • The Basics: Current WA Cosmetology License.

  • The Skills: Proficiency in precision cuts and styling.

  • The Extras: Confidence in balayage, creative tones, and highlights is a huge plus.

  • The Vibe: Good communication, solid time management, and a passion for delivering a great client experience.

“✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯

I love this hair salon. I've been coming here for 3 years now, and every time I get a wonderful hair cut & styling and walk out feeling great. The stylists are incredibly good at what they do, and are very kind and welcoming and attentive to my desires for the style. They know how to work with a wide variety of hair textures, which I love because mine is a bit unique. I live in a different neighborhood now but drive back for the best haircut in town! ”
