Hair Stylist Jobs in Plano, TX
Lee Graves Salon is hiring licensed stylists in West Plano. No booth rental. Weekly pay. A guaranteed paycheck for new stylists while they build a book.
If you have been reading salon listings for a while, you already know how most of them read: “competitive commission, great culture.” This page is the specifics instead.
What the Job Actually Is Here
You are behind the chair in a full-service salon that has been in Plano for over 30 years. The work is color-heavy — balayage, foils, babylights, blonding, gray coverage, color correction — alongside cutting, hand-tied and keratin bond extensions, keratin smoothing, blowouts, and event styling. If bridal is your thing, Something Blue by Lee Graves is our wedding division and it stays busy.
What you are not doing is running a small business out of a rented chair. Full-time concierge staff work the front of the salon and support staff work the back, so phones, check-ins, and turnaround are handled by people whose job that is. The salon supplies all color. You are here to do hair.
The salon is genuinely a nice place to spend a day — great natural light throughout, and drinks and fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies for clients. The culture is built on respect and teamwork, and that is not decorative: if a client is aggressive or rude to you, we deal with it. You will not be asked to absorb it to protect a booking.
How You Get Paid
Guaranteed paycheck while you build
New stylists receive a guaranteed paycheck while building a book. The salon advertises and brings in new clients for stylists who are building.
No booth rental
You are not renting a chair. Our bridal team works on contract; everyone else is not booth rental.
Weekly pay
Pay arrives every week, not twice a month.
401(k) and Aflac supplemental insurance
A 401(k) plan and Aflac supplemental insurance. Aflac is supplemental, not health insurance — we would rather say that plainly.
Paid continuing education
Continuing education is paid for by the salon, with an Education Director on staff teaching in-house classes.
Family discounts
Stylists and their families get discounts on products and services.
There Is a Ladder, and It Is Published
Six named levels: Apprentice, Hybrid Level 1 Stylist, Level 2 Stylist, Level 3 Senior Stylist, Level 4 Senior Lead Stylist, and Level 5 Master Stylist. Alongside them run six cross-team tracks — bridal travel, bridal coordinating, party and social planning, social media and marketing, onboarding and mentoring, and Aveda educator — so growth here is not only vertical.
The useful part: our Level 1 through Level 5 pricing is published publicly on our pricing page. You can read what a stylist at each level charges for a cut, a full highlight, or a balayage before you apply. Very few salons will show you that.
Read the full career path — every level and every track, written out.
What You'll Work With
Three professional lines: Aveda, Schwarzkopf, and Iles Formula. Schwarzkopf is the backbone of our color work, Iles Formula is what we reach for on damaged hair, and Aveda brings the plant-derived side of the shelf. The salon supplies all color. You can see the full range on our products page.
What You Need
An active Texas cosmetology license, issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Strong consultation skills and a team-oriented attitude matter as much as technique. If you are still finishing cosmetology school, look at our apprentice program instead.
Where You'd Be Working
6101 Chapel Hill Blvd, Suite 103, Plano, TX 75093 — Chapel Hill Blvd in West Plano, near Preston Road. High-traffic, good visibility, easy parking, and a client base that comes from across North Texas rather than just the surrounding blocks.
For stylists commuting in, the Dallas North Tollway and the President George Bush Turnpike are both close, which puts Frisco, Allen, Richardson, McKinney, The Colony, Carrollton, and North Dallas within a reasonable drive. We already serve clients from all of those cities — see our service areas.
Salon hours are Tuesday through Friday 10–7, Saturday 9–5, and Sunday 10–6. We are closed Mondays.
