CAREERS AT STUDIO 16

Build your career inside a
reputation 23 years in the making.

For more than 23 years, Studio 16 Salon & Spa has been earning the trust of guests throughout the Yakima Valley. We've built our reputation one consultation, one color appointment, one haircut, one spa service, and one guest relationship at a time.
That kind of trust does not happen by accident — it comes from consistency, education, care, and a team that takes pride in the experience we create. Now, we're looking for stylists who want to grow inside that reputation — and help shape the next chapter of Studio 16.
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING

What stylists are looking for —
and what we're building.

A respected salon name behind you

When you join Studio 16, you are not starting from scratch. You are stepping into a salon with more than two decades of trust, referrals, guest loyalty, and community recognition in the Yakima Valley. That reputation helps open the door. Your talent, consistency, and care help keep guests coming back.

A healthy salon culture

No drama. No commission-war energy. No feeling like you're on your own. Studio 16 is a team-based salon where communication matters, education is expected, and success is something we build together.

Real education and mentorship

You should not have to figure everything out alone. We support growth through in-salon education, brand training, coaching, consultation systems, guest experience standards, and leadership that wants to help you become more confident behind the chair.

Income you can understand

Stylists deserve clarity. We believe in transparent expectations, clear growth paths, and helping you understand how to increase your income over time through retention, pre-booking, service mix, retail confidence, and guest relationships.

Leadership that listens

You are not just a number on a schedule. We believe leadership means listening, coaching, communicating clearly, and creating an environment where stylists know where they stand and where they can grow.

A guest experience you can be proud of

Our guests come to Studio 16 to feel understood. That means we take consultation seriously, recommend thoughtfully, and create an experience that helps guests trust us — and come back.

Now you may be looking for something healthier, more organized, and more aligned. At Studio 16, experienced stylists can continue growing with education, guest care support, leadership, systems, and a team culture that values professionalism without losing warmth.

A NOTE FROM ANDI

“I believe stylists deserve to feel safe, supported, and proud of where they work.”

Studio 16 was built on the idea that success is not just about one person behind one chair. It is about the team, the guest experience, and the systems that help people grow.
If you want a salon home where education matters, communication matters, and your future matters, I would love to meet you.
