A different way to build a successful career in hair
Skandia Kollektiv was created for women who want more than just a place to work.
In our Salt Lake City studio, we’ve watched too many talented stylists get handed a chair and a rent bill — and then left to figure out the rest alone. So we built something different. We exist to support stylists at every stage of their career — with structure, mentorship, and strategy — so they can build sustainable, fulfilling careers without the burnout, isolation, or financial pressure that often comes with booth or suite rental.
If you’re looking for a salon that values professionalism, growth, and women supporting women — you’re in the right place. You can learn more about our studio and philosophy here, or keep reading to see what building a career here actually looks like.
This Is Not a Booth or Suite Rental Salon
And that’s intentional.
For years, the industry has pushed the idea that success means renting a booth or owning a suite.
We’ve seen the reality:
- Overhead that eats into income
- Constant self-marketing with no support
- Inconsistent cash flow
- Isolation and burnout
- No mentorship once you’re “on your own”
At Skandia Kollektiv, we believe talented women deserve better.
Here, you don’t have to struggle alone to build a thriving career.
We Don’t Just Provide Clients — We Teach You How to Build Them
At Skandia Kollektiv, client growth is intentional — not accidental.
Every stylist receives support with:
- Personalized client-building strategy
- Retention, rebooking, and long-term guest relationships
- Brand alignment and visibility support
- Sustainable growth that fits your life, not just your schedule
Our goal isn’t to keep you dependent on the salon — it’s to help you build confidence, consistency, and long-term stability in your career.
1:1 Coaching & Mentorship
This is where real growth happens
One of the most defining parts of working at Skandia Kollektiv is our commitment to individual mentorship.
We offer one-on-one coaching to help each stylist:
- Set and reach meaningful income goals
- Build confidence as a professional and leader
- Create boundaries that prevent burnout
- See possibilities for their career they didn’t know existed
These conversations go far beyond hair.
We talk about vision, sustainability, fulfillment, and what kind of life you want to build — not just how busy you want to be. So much of a thriving career comes down to how you carry yourself behind the chair; if that resonates, our stylists love this read on why confidence matters in this business.
Opportunities for Women at Every Stage
We intentionally offer roles for women in different seasons of their career.
✨ Newly Licensed / Early Career
Learn in a luxury environment while building strong foundations. Gain exposure to elevated clientele, professional systems, and mentorship that sets you up for long-term success. In our studio, that includes hands-on training in the specialized techniques our guests come to us for — like NBR® (Natural Beaded Row) hair extensions and dimensional, skin-tone-tailored color. You’ll get hands-on education, close mentorship, and real experience building a career — without being rushed, overwhelmed, or thrown in unprepared.
✨ Experienced Stylists
Refine your craft, grow your clientele strategically, and work within a collaborative, supportive environment — without the pressure and isolation of working alone.
What It’s Like to Work Here
- Calm, elevated salon culture
- Clear expectations and strong systems
- A supportive, collaborative team
- Leadership that communicates and cares
- Professionalism without ego or chaos
Our guests often tell us the calm, unhurried feel of the studio is exactly why they keep coming back — and that same energy is what makes it a place stylists genuinely want to work. This is a space for women who take pride in their craft and want to grow — personally and professionally. It’s the standard behind why we believe your hair deserves truly professional care, and it shows up in specialized work like our long-lasting, healthier blonding.
Who Thrives at Skandia Kollektiv
You’ll feel aligned here if you:
- Value professionalism and integrity
- Want mentorship and guidance
- Are open to feedback and growth
- Care about client experience
- Believe women rise higher together
This may not be the right fit if you:
- Want complete isolation
- Resist structure or accountability
- Aren’t open to learning or growth
- Prefer to operate independently without collaboration
And that clarity matters — for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Working Here
Is Skandia Kollektiv a booth rental or suite rental salon?
No — and that’s intentional. Instead of paying overhead to work alone, our stylists join a collaborative team and receive real mentorship, 1:1 coaching, and client-building support. We’d rather help you grow a sustainable career than rent you a chair and leave you to figure out the rest by yourself.
Do I need experience to work here?
Not necessarily. We intentionally create roles for women at every stage. Newly licensed and early-career stylists learn in a luxury environment with hands-on education and close mentorship, while experienced stylists refine their craft and grow their clientele strategically within a supportive team.
Will I get training in NBR® extensions and color?
Yes. As a luxury NBR® (Natural Beaded Row) and hand-tied extension studio in Salt Lake City, we mentor stylists on the systems, technique, and guest experience that elevated extension and dimensional color work require — always paired with 1:1 coaching on building the career you actually want.
