Voga Salon Is Hiring Hair Stylists Introducing Their 'New Freedom Era' Commission Salon

Old belief: Commission = starter job or a step before renting.
New belief: Commission = scalable income, structured support team, and work-life balanced schedule is designed to build professional freedom and career growth for the stylist.

Success shouldn’t come with burnout, toxic energy, or micromanaging. Voga Salon is on a mission to rewrite the outdated narrative, clouding the career benefits offered by the commission salon structure. We’re building a culture that prioritizes professional freedom, encourages flexible scheduling, and empowers stylists to grow on their own terms, accelerated by our salon business support team.

Why choose between freedom and stability? Get the best of both worlds--We offer a unique setting that blends the experience of a private salon suite with the structured benefits and career opportunities provided by a commission-based system.

Flexible scheduling tailored to your lifestyle and structured team support help you reach YOUR GOALS and advance YOUR CAREER. 

"Freedom is great. Freedom + direction is powerful!"

Here’s the truth: commission is actually the smartest move for stylists who want real freedom, support, and income without burning out or drowning in overhead.

"Stylists in structured commission salons are 60% more likely to stay in the industry long-term."

"More than half of renters return to commission within 3 years." 

"You can still be independent—and be wildly supported."

This isn’t commission how it used to be. It’s smarter, sleeker, and made for today’s ambitious stylist who doesn’t want to pick between income or peace of mind.

You get entrepreneurial energy with employee-level support. It’s the best of both worlds—and it’s calling your name.

Why You Should Work At Voga Salon?

"Stylists who join commission salons report a 75% increase in confidence within 6 months."

It’s freedom with support — and it just makes sense

It’s a smart business model for stylists who want freedom, growth, and real money—without the burnout and business headaches.

Private Commission Salon Suites

Our goal is to create the best of both worlds — professional independence within a collaborative salon atmosphere. Our stylists benefit from private salon suites and the strong foundation of a commission-based structure, eliminating the overhead stress of booth rental while offering business autonomy.

Want your own space and a solid support system? At Voga Salon, you don’t have to choose. You get your own private suite to do your thing — no booth rent, no stress — plus a team that actually feels like a family.

We’re all about giving you the freedom to grow your business aligned to your career goals while still being part of a creative team of professionals.

Hair Extension Mentorship Program

One of the most valuable aspects of this mentorship program is the opportunity to observe and learn from a true hair extension specialist.  Voga Salon's owner, Ashlee Laya, has specialized exclusively in hair extensions for 18 years, serving a dedicated niche clientele. This structured guidance fosters a deep understanding of proper client handling, professional communication practices, hair extension safety methods,  realistic service delivery, and building a loyal client base.

With a heart for mentorship and a drive to elevate the beauty industry, she spent five years traveling coast to coast as a Certified Hair Extension Educator. She trained countless stylists on proper technique, helped raise safety standards, and inspired a new wave of hair professionals. Her reputation for teaching with passion and leading with purpose has made her a trusted leader and mentor.

Hair Stylist Associate Program

Our Salon Associate Program is an Accelerated Apprenticeship equivalent to an express Master’s Degree in hairstyling.

Education has always been a valuable cornerstone of Voga Salon.  That’s why we’ve offered our Associate Program for 10 of our 13 years. But with Kansas City Cosmetology Schools now producing highly skilled, salon-ready graduates—and with beauty trends evolving overnight—we knew we had to evolve too. We created the Express Associate Program: a streamlined path to success where new stylists serve their clients, gain real-world experience and grow faster—guided by expert salon educators. It's not just training—it's your launchpad to a thriving career.

Whether you're a new stylist or a seasoned pro, our mentorship culture ensures you're never alone. Learn from experienced industry leaders who want to see you succeed — not compete with you.

"Stylists who receive structured coaching earn 33% more in their first year."

Niche Market Specialist Mentorship Program

Owner Ashlee Laya built a niche career in extensions, mastering the art of growing a full clientele as a true specialist. Her reputation was built on precise technique, professionalism, and a commitment to maintaining the health of her clients' natural hair. Easily identified by her unique approach, she created a personal brand that resonated with her ideal clients. She independently launched marketing campaigns, built a strong online presence, and meticulously handled every aspect of client care—from inquiries and scheduling to ordering and follow-ups. Every decision was made with one goal in mind: to become a leading specialist in hair extensions.

Salon Continuing Education

Voga Salon is committed to nurturing stylistic talent through a steadfast dedication to ongoing education and professional development—foundational pillars for excellence in the hair industry.

Voga Salon has always prioritized value by developing talented stylists through hands-on education, mentorship, and regular workshops. We believe that ongoing training isn’t just helpful—it’s essential for long-term success in the fast-evolving hair industry.

Professional Freedom with Business Growth Support Team

A great hair service doesn’t matter if the client's journey is a mess. That’s why we built systems that handle everything behind the scenes to deliver the best client experience. The front desk isn’t just polite—they’re polished pros who truly set the tone for each client by greeting them as they matter, director of the entire salon schedule, protect stylist productivity, proficient in time management for scheduling, and streamlined workflows that protect your energy. Then there are ALL the open lines of "real-time" communications: the phones, the text lines, the emails, the social media inboxes, the website chats, the appointment requests, the questions, detailed pre-service notes, and the list is endless!  It’s clear it takes a village to deliver a 5-star experience to salon guests, and we’ve got it handled so our stylists walk in fresh & focused.

We take the pressure off your plate by providing:

√ A Full-Time Salon Manager with the salon for 11 years, supporting full business operations

√ A Dedicated Social Media Manager to elevate your digital presence and capture client transformations

√ Consistent Paid Marketing Campaigns to maintain a steady stream of new clientele

"Client retention is 2.5x higher when you’ve got a front desk + marketing team backing you up"

Marketing Team Growing Your Online Visibility

Let’s keep it real: building a book from scratch is hard. And paying for ads, designing your own website, or posting every day on social? That’s another job.

Stylists are artists. They deliver incredible transformations, connect deeply with clients, and fill their books effortlessly. But keeping up with marketing? That’s where things get messy. It’s draining to juggle daily posts, ads, Reels, and reviews after a full day of clients. That’s why our marketing team exists. We handle the behind-the-scenes magic: high-quality photoshoots, custom graphics that reflect each stylist’s brand, featured posts and bios to drive engagement, and smart client retention strategies. So stylists can grow their brand—without burning out.

“Commission stylists often get 3x more client referrals—because the salon markets for them.”

√ Marketing budget allowances included to grow your clientele

√ Your own personalized website profile and portfolio curated by our in-house social media manage

√ Full-time Social Media Manager capturing your client transformations—so you stay on schedule and in the spotlight

Schedule Flexibility For Life's Changes

We get it — sometimes life changes. After 13 years, we’ve changed too! That’s why we designed our salon around scheduling flexibility and real-life priorities. At Voga, you won’t need to choose between your career and your personal life. 

At Voga, stylists enjoy genuine flexibility. We recognize that life evolves, and so should your schedule. Our salon promotes a 3-day workweek model totaling approximately 32 hours per week, with part-time positions available based on individual needs. This approach allows you to grow professionally while preserving personal time for rest, family, and self-care.

Work-Life Balance | Take Time Off When You Want

Need a break? Take it! We don’t micromanage or guilt-trip for time off. You’re free to take the time you need, recharge, and return inspired. 

We believe you do your best work when you’re supported, rested, and aligned with your passions. That’s why balance isn’t just a perk here — it’s part of our mission.
