What makes us

Different

MW Hair Salon Oviedo FL
Education
MW Salon is committed to constant, continuing education for our team. We regularly host in-salon education classes to learn the latest techniques or to better familiarize our team with the products and services that we provide. We also encourage team members to attend classes outside the salon, such as at the local beauty distributor, or to attend beauty industry shows for continuing education opportunities. We have a strong culture of mentorship and coaching, that encourages all of our stylists to constantly learn from — and teach — one another bringing a true collaboration.

Advertising
As a professional in our industry, you must take the initiative to grow your client base and make yourself successful. Although it is very important for you to constantly advertise yourself, we believe in providing a level of advertising support that is unparalleled by other local salons. On average, MW Salon sees about 15 new clients each week. Here are some examples of our previous advertising programs that we have used to sustain that level of success: Facebook ads, Instagram ads (our primary mode of advertising), Google search ads, client referral program, local magazine ads, and word of Mouth! Word of mouth is one of our most effective advertising tools.

We believe that beyond our amazing stylists, the heart of our salon is the space itself. Our owners decorate for every holiday, making the salon feel comfortable, festive, and full of energy. We play commercial-free streaming music to keep the atmosphere lively and inviting. We stay focused with our retail recommendations to take away the overwhelm many clients will have with choosing what to use for their hair. This is done by Team involvement of what line of products to carry. Our back bar reflects what the salon carries for take home to support the importance of using.

What’s the pay?

This will be much better to go into more detail when we meet but the short answer is, it’s up to you! We are commission based, so, if you’re coming in with your own clientele and years of experience you will quickly get a substantial paycheck. If not, that’s fine too! Depending on where you are in your career we can also start off with hourly pay until you build up your clientele and book. Your commission also comes from retail, we will help educate you on the products we sell so you can feel comfortable and confident in recommending them to your client. Just like any other company we want to give you a raise as you grow with us. Our commission structure is based on 5 levels which we can go over in more detail when you come in. We want you to have financial freedom when you choose to work for MW Salon. So, if you work hard it WILL pay off.

Experienced Stylist — Commission-Based, Full-Time

Are you tired of doing everything alone — the booking, the laundry, the payments, the marketing — while still trying to actually do hair?

Have you been in salons that talk about culture but don't actually live it?

Are you ready to bring your book somewhere that's genuinely built to support it — and you?

Do you love this craft enough to keep getting better at it, even after years behind the chair?

Why You'll Love Working With Us

  • 40–46% commission — tiered and performance-driven, with a clear quarterly
    advancement path based on real KPIs — not guesswork
  • Someone else handles the business — front desk manages payments, booking, and client communications; laundry,
    cleaning, and processing are fully covered
  • An assistant at your side — dedicatedsupport for chemical rinsing and client connection so you stay focused and moving 
  • Free, weekly education — in-house Friday sessions led by founder Mitchell Wade — a national platform artist turned local educator — plus external educators, at no cost to you
  • A schedule that works — minimum 30 hours/week, flexible structure (3x10, 4-day, or 5-day); Saturdays 1–2 per month, optional for experienced stylists
  • A team that actually shows up for each other — Delores started as an assistant here 23 years ago; she's still here, and still teaching

Who We Are

MW Salon is a high-end salon in Oviedo, Florida, built on what we call Suburban Chic — the belief that exceptional craft and warm neighborhood service belong together. Founded in 2000 by Mitchell Wade, a national platform artist turned local educator, we've built a team that holds each other to high standards, celebrates each other's wins, and shows up every Friday to get better together. We've weathered a housing crisis, a team walkout, and a pandemic. We're still here — still growing, still deeply committed to the idea that what happens in this salon is a reflection on all of us.

We Believe

✂ The Stylist's Job Is to Educate – Every consultation is a chance to lead. Our clients trust us. We take that seriously.
🤝 What Happens Here Reflects on All of Us – Your chair is not an island. We succeed together — and we hold that standard together.
📚 We Don't Hire People Who Know It All – We hire people who want to know more. Curiosity is how we grow, and it never stops.
💬 Make the Quiet Things Loud – We address things with curiosity, not judgment. “What was your intention? What could have been done differently?” That's how we talk here.
🏡 High-End Craft. Warm Neighborhood Soul. – We prove every day that excellence and warmth don't have to choose between each other.

What You Will Accomplish

✅ First 30 Days: Integrate into the team — show up for Friday education, connect with your fellow stylists, and find your rhythm on the floor
✅ By 60 Days: Consistently recommending retail as a natural part of your consultations, with retail pieces-per-client hitting salon benchmarks
✅ By 90 Days: Serving 15–20 clients per week and generating $2,000+ in weekly gross revenue — your book is planted and growing
✅ End of Quarter 1: Qualify for commission or pricing advancement at your first quarterly KPI review — average service ticket, productivity, retail, and new client retention

What You Will Do

  •  Lead a discovery-based consultation before every single service — no exceptions
  • Perform color, highlights, and chemical treatments for 3–4 clients per day
  • Recommend retail products as a natural extension of the service — tied to what each client actually needs
  • Rebook clients at the chair before they leave — a service standard, not a sales task
  • Coordinate with your assistant for chemical rinses and client flow
  • Participate actively in weekly Friday in-house education sessions
  • Maintain a clean, organized personal station throughout every shift

You'll Thrive in This Role If You

→ Have a client book you're proud of — and you're ready to bring it somewhere that will actually support it
→ Have mastered the technical side and are now hungry for growth, community, and a real career home
→ Light up talking about your clients — you know their names, their stories, their hair history
→ Believe education is part of the job, not something you age out of after 15 years
→ Want to focus entirely on your craft while a real team handles everything else
→ Are honest, accountable, and the type to address a problem directly — not avoid it
→ Know that ten-hour days on your feet are part of the deal — and that doesn't give you pause

Essential Experience

  • Active Florida Cosmetology License — required
  • Minimum 3 years behind the chair; a strong, portable client book matters more than years alone
  • Established client base capable of supporting $2,000+ in weekly gross revenue within 90 days
  • Proven consultation skills — you lead, educate, and build long-term relationships at the chair
  • Retail integration experience — comfortable recommending products as a natural part of your service
  • Availability for 30+ hours/week, including 1–2 Saturdays per month

FAQs

I am currently in a salon, will my salon know if I apply at MW Salon?

Absolutely not! We hold all applications in the strictest confidence! We will not reveal your application to anyone, including our other staff, until and unless you are comfortable with us doing so. We can also meet outside of the salon if you are more comfortable doing so, just let us know! If extreme confidentiality is necessary email Mitch directly at mitch@yourmwsalon.com.

That’s quite a long Questionnaire!
That’s not even a question. But you’re right, it is. We are committed to finding the very best to join our team and to fostering careers, not just jobs. For that reason, we really want to get to know you and what makes you tick to ensure that it’s a great fit! Plus, we want to be upfront about the requirements of the position, so you can be confident the fit will be great, too.
Do you have a paper application?
Yes! If you do not prefer the online form version of our application, a paper version is available at the salon! Just stop by and ask for an application.
What happens next?
After we receive your application, we will get back to you as quickly as we can. Things are busy at the salon sometimes, so there might be a bit of a delay before we get back to you, but we will respond as soon as we can! We’ll want to set up a time when we can meet with you to get to know you a bit better. If that works out, we will want you to bring a model for a technical interview. We are committed to hiring the most talented, and nicest, stylist we can. So our interview process can be a little bit involved… but we think it’s the best way to do it!
Are you hiring right now?
We are always on the lookout for experienced stylists, especially if you already have a client base. If you’re just getting started, we are always looking for talented people with a passion for beauty. We encourage you to send us your resume and digital portfolio/professional IG handle. If the time isn’t quite right for us, hopefully it will be soon. As soon as that time comes, we’ll be in touch again!
Who should I talk to?

Janeisa is in charge of reviewing and responding to applications, setting up interviews, and just about everything else during the hiring process. She can be contacted by emailing her at janeisa@yourmwsalon.com; that’s the best way to get in touch with her. It’s best to email us to set up a good time for us to talk, rather than just dropping in. We’re so busy that we very rarely have time to really get to know you without setting the time aside in advance. Thanks for your understanding!
