BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Six reasons to grow here
Here’s what sets C’zar apart — not just in year one, but in every season of your career.

01

FREEDOM & FLEXIBILITY
Work-life harmony is the new black
We offer PTO to both full-time and part-time employees. We’re open Tuesday through Saturday and don’t require anything on Sundays or Mondays. We work together to formulate your ideal schedule, then equip you with supportive assistants and efficient coordinators so you can focus on the things you love most.

02

GROWTH PLAN & CLEAR GOALS
No plateaus here
We have 10 levels of achievement for Hair Artists with clear benchmarking every step of the way. Once you surpass level 10, you have the opportunity to set your own rates. We hold frequent one-on-one chats to set goals, work through setbacks, and form a plan for promotion.

03

POWERFUL ONLINE PRESENCE
We are who we say we are online
We invest in luxury branding and consistent salon marketing to keep new guests coming in and retain the ones that already adore you. As your number one hype squad, we provide professional photos and videos at least once a year to support your personal brand.

04

COMMUNITY OVER COMPETITION
Sharing is caring around here
We’ve been trusted Hair Artists to many guests for nearly 40 years — often welcoming 2nd and 3rd generation families. We encourage guests to see different stylists when their needs change, and we have no non-compete clauses. If things don’t work out, you’re free to grow wherever you please.

05

EMPHASIS ON EDUCATION
We are all students
To thrive here, consider yourself a lifelong learner. We provide endless opportunities for continuing education and require one mandatory skill class per year. We strongly encourage further training with local partners like Professional Salon Concepts or the Douglas J. Aveda Institute.

06

GOOD ENERGY & PASSIONATE PEOPLE
Creative minds and natural-born healers
We want to remain a collaborative space where all-hearts-in, honest-to-goodness types come to do their best work. Our team is made up of people who are passionate not just about their craft — but most importantly, about people.
