About the role

This is a full-time and part-time cosmetology role on the Gulf Coast for a licensed hair stylist in Corpus Christi, TX, who wants a commission salon job without spending years to fill a book alone. You will work inside Salon Envy® at 5601 S Padre Island Drive, delivering the kinds of services guests search for every day: precision haircuts, lived-in balayage, traditional highlights, all-over and corrective color, keratin and smoothing, tape-in and hand-tied extensions, and event styling. The salon ranks for local hair salon intent, which keeps your schedule blended between loyal repeats and new walk-in traffic.

We built this job for someone typing “hair stylist jobs Corpus Christi” or “cosmetologist jobs near me” who is tired of slow floors and low support. You still own your client relationships — we do not replace your social presence — but the brand invests in Google Business Profile, the website, paid search, and content so that “Salon Envy” shows up when neighbors look for a premium color experience. You will work with Olaplex, Redken, Schwarzkopf, Moroccanoil, and other pro lines the way Texas cosmetology schools teach you, at a real-world speed that matches Corpus Christi and tourist-season demand.

If you are a new TDLR graduate in Corpus Christi, you get mentorship, realistic timing expectations, and a culture that collaborates on formulas instead of gatekeeping. If you are an experienced colorist, you get a flexible schedule, strong ticket averages on corrective work, and a team that will help you keep your energy high across long days. This listing exists so candidates comparing Salon Envy to other commission salon jobs in Corpus see exactly how we support licensed cosmetologists and how we protect guest experience from consultation to rebooking.

What you will do

Complete thorough consultations, document color history, and set honest timing for each guest.
Execute haircuts, color, balayage, highlights, toners, treatments, and extension services to brand and state board standards.
Maintain a clean, organized station; sanitize tools; follow TDLR health and safety rules at all times.
Recommend home care that fits the hair goal and rebook the next visit before the guest leaves.
Support teammates on busy color days with mixing, extra bowls, and coverage when a service runs long.
Participate in continued education and seasonal trend updates the leadership team schedules.

What we are looking for

Active Texas cosmetology license through TDLR; no unlicensed work behind the chair.
Reliable, coachable, guest-first attitude; drama stays off the floor.
Desire to grow a Corpus Christi client base with help from our marketing, not in spite of it.
Comfort with commission math, rebooking, and retail that genuinely protects the hair we touch.
Schedule flexibility for peak salon hours, including some evenings and weekends as agreed.

What you will earn

We pay on commission and tips in a model designed for licensed cosmetologists who want their income to reflect their craft. We publish a wide band because experience and speed change outcomes: new stylists ramp with mentorship while veterans stack color and extension tickets. Top performers in similar markets on our team land in a $65,000 to $85,000 or higher range when their books stay dense and rebooking stays high. Exact numbers are transparent in the interview; your TDLR status is verified before a formal offer.

Base commission plus tips. Top stylists earn $65,000–$85,000+.

What you get

Walk-in and online demand supported by brand-level marketing, not a one-person Instagram grind.
Full-time and part-time scheduling with leadership that respects your life outside the salon.
Professional color and treatment backbar and retail partners your guests already recognize from social.
Team environment where collaboration is expected — you are never the only expert in the room.
A defined path to senior and education roles as Houston and future markets add chairs.

About Salon Envy®

Salon Envy® is a Texas-based premium hair brand with high-performing salons in Corpus Christi and San Antonio, with Houston expansion in motion. The company invests in the same things guests notice: online booking, reviews, and professional photography that make it easy to choose us when someone searches for a hair salon in Corpus Christi. Stylists get the benefit of that investment every time the door opens.

A day in the life

You arrive to a pre-set column that blends booked appointments and same-day color guests driven by the website and local search. The first hour may include a root touch-up and a consultation for a new balayage guest. Midday pushes walk-ins with flexible timing, and you may pair with a teammate to finish a long color service on schedule. In the afternoon, you add treatments or extensions, close tickets with rebooking, and sanitize your station. Leadership checks in on pacing, not to micromanage, but to keep the room calm when Corpus Christi’s busy season creates longer waits than usual.
