I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SmartStyle (Morris, IL) in Apr 2017
Interview
Two interviews, first is verbal, second you bring models in to do hair cuts on. It’s pretty easy and simple as long as you know what you’re doing. Depending on the salon they may ask you questions about color and perm wrapping etc, but they didn’t at mine.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask if there are services the salon offers that you aren’t comfortable with. If so, explain why.
