WORK WITH US
At Petal Hair Lounge, we want to offer you the best of a team based environment with all of the autonomy and freedom that comes with being an independent stylist.
We know what it’s like to work in spaces with toxic co-workers, little to no growth opportunities and low compensation while you’re working incredibly hard.
Just as we tailor each client experience to their unique needs, our approach to growing stylists is the same. We celebrate what makes you, uniquely you. Each stylist at Petal has their own specialties, interests, and goals—and we want to help you live a fulfilling, successful life on your terms. Whatever that means for you.
We’re looking for stylists who value authenticity, inclusivity, and exceptional client experiences—stylists who want to help build a positive, collaborative, and supportive work environment. Our team is committed to perfecting their craft and shining in everything they do behind the chair. We believe in continuous education, fostering a uniquely feminine and inclusive space, and ensuring that both our clients and stylists enjoy a rich, balanced life.
Petal Hair Lounge is a queer-owned business, and we lead with love and authenticity in everything we do. We have zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind. Our salon is a safe and welcoming space for all ethnicities, sexualities, gender identities, backgrounds, and hair types.
Located on Big Bend Blvd in the heart of Maplewood, you’ll love working in an area filled with amazing local businesses, restaurants, and shops. We host a variety of community events as well as classes taught by our team and local business owners.
