Join a locally owned Great Clips® salon team and start building real-world salon experience while you’re still in school. The Hair Stylist Intern role is designed for cosmetology and barber students who want to learn what salon life is really like, connect with a professional team, and prepare for a smooth transition into a licensed stylist role after graduation.

This opportunity is ideal for students who are curious, motivated, and excited to grow their skills in a supportive salon environment.

Great Clips salons offer internship experiences that help students learn, grow, and feel confident stepping into the industry:

• Exposure to a successful, stable salon brand and professional salon environment

• Hands-on learning around salon operations, customer service, and teamwork
• Opportunities to observe and support haircutting and finishing techniques, as allowed by state regulations
• Experience using salon systems, tools, and technology
• A supportive setting to ask questions, learn expectations, and understand day-to-day salon life
• A pathway to future opportunities as a licensed stylist, where available

Program structure, scheduling, and responsibilities may vary by salon location, as internship programs are created and managed by individual Great Clips salon organizations.
