Hair Stylist Careers in Denver
Join the Deseo Team!
What benefits & how much will I make at Deseo?
Deseo Salon & BlowDry is a luxury hair salon in Denver’s Highlands neighborhood, and we have been building one of the most talented stylist teams in Colorado since 2015. Hairstylist jobs in Denver are easy to find. A salon that treats your work like a career, fills your chair, and backs you with a real support team is much harder to find, and that is exactly what we built at Deseo.
Deseo received 5280 Magazine’s Top of the Town Award as Best Hair Salon in Denver, and our reviews on Google, Facebook, and Yelp are among the highest of any salon in the city. That reputation does real work for you. New stylists step into a steady stream of clients who already trust the salon, so you can focus on the person in your chair instead of hustling to fill your book.
What You Get as a Deseo Stylist
- A full support team. Our front desk staff handles booking, client questions, retail stock, and laundry, so your time goes to hair instead of logistics.
- In-house marketing. Our marketing team runs the most visited salon website in Denver and promotes our stylists by name, which means your book fills faster here than it would almost anywhere else.
- Top-of-the-line products. We stock full lines from Kérastase, Oribe, Kevin Murphy, Olaplex, Wella, and Bellami, so you are never asked to do high-end work with mid-grade product.
- A workspace you can be proud of. Our salon is a clean, modern, luxury space, and clients feel the difference the moment they walk in.
- Creative freedom. Wear what you love, build the specialties you care about, and bring your own personality to your chair. We hired you to be you.
Pay and Benefits
Every detail of our compensation package lives on our hairstylist pay and benefits page, and we keep that page current so you are always looking at real numbers. The short version: a progressive commission system with unlimited earning potential, health insurance contributions, a 401(k) with access to an in-house financial adviser, paid sick time, flexible scheduling options, retail commission on everything you sell, and more. If you want to know what Deseo stylists actually earn in year one and beyond, the benefits page spells it out.
Continuing Education
Great stylists never stop learning, and we invest in that. Our team gets in-salon education from Kérastase, Oribe, Wella, Olaplex, and Bellami, including Bellami hair extension certification, along with support for workshops and industry events. If there is a technique you want to add to your repertoire, we will help you get there.
Who We Are Looking For
We hire experienced stylists with at least five years behind the chair who take pride in their craft and care about the person sitting in front of them. Cutters, colorists, extension specialists, blowout and styling pros, and stylists who do it all are welcome here. What matters most is skill, professionalism, and the kind of attitude that makes a team stronger.

Applying takes about two minutes. Upload your resume through our application page and tell us a little about yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What experience do I need to apply at Deseo Salon & BlowDry?
We hire stylists with at least five years of professional experience behind the chair. That baseline keeps the quality of work in the salon consistently high, and it protects the reputation that fills every stylist’s book. Beyond the five years, we care more about craft and attitude than about a specific specialty. Cutters, colorists, extension artists, and stylists who do a bit of everything all have a home here.
How does stylist pay work at Deseo?
Deseo stylists earn commission on services and on retail sales, with a progressive scale that rises as you grow and no cap on what you can earn. We publish the full details, including what stylists typically earn by year, on our hairstylist benefits page, and we keep that page current so the numbers you see are the numbers that are true.
Do Deseo stylists get benefits like health insurance and a 401(k)?
Yes. Deseo contributes toward health insurance premiums and offers a 401(k) plan with free access to an in-house financial adviser, along with paid sick time, employee product discounts, and perks like quarterly team outings. The complete list lives on our benefits page. For a salon job, that package is rare, and it exists because we want stylists to build long careers here, not short stints.
Do I need to bring my own clientele?
No. Most stylists who join Deseo are heavily booked within their first month or two. The salon’s website is the most visited salon site in Denver, our reviews bring in a steady stream of new clients, and our in-house marketing team promotes each stylist by name. You are welcome to bring an existing book with you, but your success here does not depend on it.
Do stylists choose their own schedules?
Yes. We build schedules around a set of flexible options, and stylists choose the arrangement that fits their lives. Work-life balance is one of the main reasons stylists stay at Deseo for years, and a schedule you actually like is a big part of that. If you have specific scheduling needs, bring them up during your interview and we will tell you honestly whether we can accommodate them.
Can I get certified in hair extensions at Deseo?
Yes. Deseo covers Bellami hair extension certification for our stylists, and extensions are one of the busiest services in the salon, so the training pays off quickly. We also bring in ongoing education from Kérastase, Oribe, Wella, and Olaplex, so you can keep sharpening your color and styling work at the same time.
I am relocating to Denver. Can I still apply?
Absolutely, and you would not be the first. Stylists have joined us from all over the country, and we offer relocation support for stylists moving from outside Colorado. Denver’s beauty market is growing fast, and walking into an established clientele makes the move far less risky than starting cold in a new city. Details on relocation assistance are on our benefits page.
What happens after I apply?
A real person at Deseo reads every application, usually within a few days. If your experience looks like a fit, we will reach out to schedule a conversation and a visit to the salon, so you can meet the team and see the space. From there, decisions move quickly. The fastest way to start is to upload your resume on our application page.
