You just finished cosmetology school. You passed the state board. Now what? If you graduated near Hialeah Gardens and you are looking for a salon that hires graduates and trains them properly, LAHH Salon is one of the few that does this on a real curriculum.

Why stylists from Hialeah Gardens drive to LAHH Salon

The drive from Hialeah Gardens to LAHH Salon is about 30 minutes via west on the Julia Tuttle Causeway, then NW 87th Avenue. Most of our stylists who commute from Hialeah Gardens cite the same reasons: a real education program, a respectful schedule, low team turnover, and the chance to build a personal client book at a salon that protects the chair instead of pushing volume.

Hialeah Gardens is known for the western Miami-Dade community next to Hialeah. Stylists who live in or near Hialeah Gardens often serve a return clientele based in their own community, while building a steady book at a salon with a different local clientele in Bay Harbor Islands. Both books grow at the same time.

Why your first salon matters more than your school

Most cosmetology programs teach the techniques required to pass the state board. They do not teach how to run a chair, how to consult with a client, or how to refine the practical skills you will use every day. The salon you join after graduation does that.

If you join a chain salon, you will move fast and gain volume but rarely learn advanced color or precision cutting. If you go straight to renting a chair, you skip the mentorship years and stall out around year two.

If you join a real education-focused salon like LAHH Salon, you spend the first year as a paid apprentice. You learn the brand techniques (Davines, Olaplex, Brazilian Blowout), you learn balayage from scratch, and you build a client book under your senior stylist's column.

Do I need a Florida cosmetology license to apply?

For licensed roles (stylist, colorist, extensions specialist), yes. Florida requires an active cosmetology license issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Apprentice applicants do not need a license at the time of application.

How do I apply for a role at LAHH Salon from Hialeah Gardens?

Email a short note about yourself plus a portfolio or resume to emily@lahhsalon.com. You can also call or text (305) 877-7706 and speak with Remy. We respond within a few business days.

Yes. We open an apprentice cohort one to two times per year. Recent graduates with strong portfolios, the right attitude, and a willingness to learn under our system are exactly who we are looking for.

Should I rent a chair as a new graduate?

We do not recommend it. Chair rental skips the mentorship years and pushes new graduates to take on too much business and operations work before their craft is ready. Your craft is the asset. Build it first.

What should a new-graduate portfolio include?

Six to twelve photos of your best work from school: a balayage, a color, a precision cut, a blow dry style, and ideally a before-and-after. Bring it on your phone or as a PDF.

How quickly can a new graduate take their own clients?

After our 9 to 12 month apprenticeship, you start as a junior stylist with your own column. Most apprentices have a partial book by month 9, and a full junior column by month 12 to 14.
