Build your career inside a
reputation 23 years in the making.
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.
Designed to support your
career and your life.
At Studio 16, we know stylists are looking for more than a chair. You're looking for a salon home with structure, support, education, and a future you can actually see.
