Careers

START WHERE YOU ARE. WE’LL HELP YOU GROW

You don’t need to come to A Roland with a full clientele.

And if you’re newly licensed, we don’t expect you to know everything yet.

Our New Talent program was created to bridge the gap between cosmetology school and confidently working behind the chair.

You’ll earn while you learn through paid in-salon education, assisting, hands-on training, model work, mentorship, and real salon experience.

As your confidence and skills grow, you’ll begin taking guests of your own and building your clientele within A Roland.

Already established behind the chair? Your path will look different. We’ll start by understanding your experience, strengths, clientele, goals, and where you want your career to go next.

KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING.

One of the most important things we can offer our team is clarity.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what you need to do to earn more, move up, or take the next step in your career.

Our career path allows artists to progress through:

New Talent → Rising Artist → Developing Artist → Advanced Artist → Mentor / Lead Artist

Growth can mean increasing your income, strengthening your book, advancing technically, specializing, mentoring newer artists, educating, or taking on additional responsibility within the salon.

We believe growth should be something you can see and work toward.

LET’S TALK ABOUT MONEY

Building a career in beauty should also mean building financial stability.

Our newer talent begins with an hourly foundation while developing skills and clientele, rather than being expected to immediately survive on a book they haven’t had time to build.

As you progress through A Roland’s career path, there are opportunities to increase your compensation and earning potential.

We also teach the business behind the chair — including understanding your numbers, rebooking, retention, retail, goal setting, and budgeting.

Because being talented at hair is only one part of building a successful career.

We want you to understand how to build one.

YOUR SCHEDULE SHOULD SUPPORT YOU LIFE.

We love this industry, but we don’t believe burnout should be the price of success.

A Roland offers both full-time and part-time opportunities, and 32 hours is considered full-time.

Some evenings and weekends are part of working in the beauty industry, particularly while building a clientele, but our long-term goal is to help our artists build schedules that become more sustainable as their careers grow.

That means creating room for vacations, family, weekends, travel, and everything else that matters outside the salon.

EDUCATION DOESN’T END WITH YOUR LICENSE.

Education is a big part of our culture.

In-salon training is paid, and our team has opportunities for continued education throughout the year.

You’ll learn from experienced artists and mentors while continuing to develop your technical skills, consultations, guest experience, confidence, and understanding of the business behind the chair.

We also believe education works both ways.

As you grow, you’ll have opportunities to share what you know, mentor others, and potentially step into education or leadership yourself.

YOU’LL KNOW WHAT’S EXPECTED OF YOU.

Starting somewhere new can be intimidating — especially when you don’t know what “doing well” actually looks like.

We believe in clear expectations, regular conversations, coaching, and feedback.

For newer talent, the beginning is about learning our salon, supporting the team, strengthening technical skills, developing confidence, and gradually working toward taking more guests.

We’re not looking for perfection.

We’re looking for people who are coachable, curious, dependable, kind, and genuinely want to grow.

CULTURE MATTERS HERE.

A Roland isn’t built around competition between stylists.

Our core values are Generosity, Collaboration, Growth, Ecological, and Optimism.

We share knowledge. We help each other. We celebrate each other’s growth. We communicate when something isn’t working. And we expect everyone on our team to contribute to creating an environment where people feel respected.

You can build an incredible individual career without doing it alone.

BENEFITS THAT GROW WITH YOU.

We want staying and growing with A Roland to mean something.

Depending on position, eligibility, and longevity, our team benefits can include:

Paid in-salon education • Paid time off • Retirement benefits • Flexible scheduling • Advanced education opportunities • Mentorship • Career coaching

The longer you grow with us, the more opportunity there is to build a career — and lifestyle — that works for you.

REAL CLEAN BEAUTY.

Sustainability isn’t something we added because it became popular.

It’s one of our core values.

A Roland is a Green Circle Salon, helping divert and recover approximately 95% of our salon waste. We make thoughtful choices about the professional products we use, the waste we create, and the impact our industry has on the environment.

If working somewhere that cares about what goes down the drain, what goes into the trash, and what goes onto your guests matters to you, you’ll understand why we call it:

Real Clean Beauty.

MAYBE YOU’VE FOUND YOUR FOREVER SALON.

You might be finishing cosmetology school.

You might be a few years into your career and realizing you need more education and support.

Or you might be an experienced stylist who’s simply ready for something different.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

We’re interested in meeting hairstylists, cosmetology graduates, salon assistants, experienced artists, extension specialists, and educators who want to keep growing.

A Roland Salon is located in New Cumberland, PA, convenient to Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Lemoyne, Mechanicsburg, and surrounding Central Pennsylvania communities.

If our values sound like yours, we’d love to hear your story.
