When you join Salon Envy® as a licensed cosmetologist, you are joining a brand that works for you.

Our team of licensed Texas cosmetologists operates in a commission-based environment that rewards skill and service. We use premium professional products including Olaplex, Redken Shades EQ, Schwarzkopf BLONDME, and Moroccanoil — the same products that industry leaders trust. We offer flexible scheduling for full-time and part-time cosmetologists, making Salon Envy® the ideal home for stylists at every stage of their career.

This role is built for cosmetologists who want consistent walk-in and appointment demand, a supportive commission environment, and access to high-end color and treatment lines.

Requirements (TDLR and more)
- Active Texas cosmetology license (TDLR) required for all work behind the chair
- Ability to deliver consistent guest consultations, service timing, and home-care recommendations
- Professional, coachable, team-friendly attitude in a fast-paced commission salon
- Experience preferred; new graduates with TDLR and strong training are encouraged to apply
What a typical day looks like
You start with a pre-booked and walk-in mix—our digital presence fills the day.

Team members share color formulas and troubleshooting so you are never on an island between appointments.
Salon Envy® is hiring licensed cosmetologists for hair stylist jobs in San Antonio, Texas, at our Medical Center area location on Wurzbach Road. This San Antonio hair career is ideal for licensed professionals who want walk-in and online booking traffic, flexible scheduling, and a commission structure that rewards skill. You will work with guests seeking balayage, color correction, keratin, extensions, and precision cutting—backed by a brand that invests in SEO, Google Business Profile, and content so your column stays busy. If you are comparing salon jobs in San Antonio, this role pairs premium clientele with a culture that is collaborative, not cutthroat.

- Valid Texas cosmetology license (TDLR) required for all services

You work alongside other licensed San Antonio cosmetologists who help with timing, product choice, and difficult corrections.
We are seeking a Texas salon manager for our flagship Corpus Christi location—someone who can lead a commission team, keep operations tight, and protect the guest experience that drives online reviews. This salon management job is responsible for front-desk flow, schedule density, supply and inventory, coaching stylists, and partner communication with ownership. You should understand cosmetology language even if you are not always behind the chair, and you should be comfortable with Square POS, conflict resolution, and local marketing execution. This is a career step for someone who has already managed stylists, retail, or a multi-chair floor.
Earnings: Base salary in the $45,000–$60,000 range with performance levers; exact package discussed during the interview for salon manager jobs in Corpus Christi.

- Experience with retail goals, key metrics, and guest recovery conversations
- Square or similar POS experience is a major plus; TDLR rules awareness required
What a typical day looks like
You open or close the salon, huddle the team on goals, support stylists on difficult tickets, check inventory, monitor booking channels, and step in to assist with guest concerns. You are the connective tissue between ownership and the floor.
We are building our Houston, Texas, pipeline now for licensed hair stylists, colorists, and future salon management talent. While our Houston location is not yet public on the same schedule as Corpus Christi and San Antonio, you can add your TDLR credentials and neighborhood preference so you are in the first group contacted when we post full Houston cosmetology jobs. This is the best path for anyone searching for hair stylist jobs in Houston TX before we publish all compensation bands and start dates. Joining the list does not lock you in—it simply puts you at the top of the outreach list.
Earnings: Earnings and structures will match our other Texas locations—commission and tips for stylists, leadership packages for management—and will be published as roles open.
Requirements (TDLR and more)
- Valid Texas cosmetology license (TDLR) is ideal for stylist-track interest; we also collect manager interest
- Clear communication on neighborhood or commute preference inside Houston
- Patience for timeline updates as construction, permitting, and hiring phases finalize
What a typical day looks like
Once we launch Houston hiring, a stylist day will match our other markets: pre-booked guests, walk-ins from brand marketing, and a product ecosystem you already know from the Salon Envy® system.
