We are always open to considering new candidates for our apprenticeship program. Please email [email protected] with your cover letter asserting your interest in our salon, as well as your resume. You may also call or text us at 815-986-1550 and request a time to shadow our team. You will learn, get a feel for our atmosphere, and probably tear a few foils. 😉
Qualified candidates need not feel completely confident in their technical skills as our apprenticeship program will provide all the education necessary to become the most adept professional. More important to us in selecting a perfect team member is a positive attitude, a humble ego, a desire to help and lift others up, and a passion for lifelong learning.
Our apprentices receive the best training available, and go on to enjoy long-term fulfilling careers with us. The opportunities to broaden your skillset are many, and we endeavor to support our team in whatever way they wish to grow. Possibilities include more creative pursuits, leading or teaching, merchandising, community outreach, training in new service offerings, and more.
We are team-based at Lucette, and that means our staff have full transparency as to the health and status of the business, as well as complete support and resources from their peers and the salon itself. Working together to ensure the business is healthy elicits better choices by all and results in increased job security and satisfaction. Employees can expect a fair, predictable paycheck, and experience zero competition from their co-workers from day one with us because we do not operate on commission. This also equates to our clients receiving top-tier service, and a sense of camaraderie not found in many salon environments. We are often commended for providing a comfortable, easy space where people can be themselves.
