I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Aveda (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The hiring manager was very well put together and organized. She asked me quit a few questions ranging from my past experiences to what I know now about sales. It was longer than I thought it would be, but that was a good thing because I felt she was getting a good read of me and in turn that time gave me a chance to get to know her as well. I had a really good feeling about this person being a leader and more importantly my boss and after working together for over 2 years I was never let down.

Interview store and regional managers. Perform some basic salon activities on a scalp and then go over some product knowledge too which is really annoying because they take forever. They are looking for people to join lower in the store and promote within.
Interviewed with store manager and district manager. Both interviews went well as we went over my prior positions and responsibilities, but had to wait for a call back for a while and ending up taking another position.
