Why stylists from Wynwood drive to LAHH Salon

The drive from Wynwood to LAHH Salon is about 22 minutes via south on Biscayne Boulevard then west into the arts district. Most of our stylists who commute from Wynwood 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.

Wynwood is known for the murals, galleries, and creative-class neighborhood north of downtown. Stylists who live in or near Wynwood 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.

What the LAHH Salon apprenticeship actually covers

The LAHH Salon apprenticeship is a paid 9 to 12 month program that runs through every skill you need to operate as a junior stylist. It is structured, supervised, and signed off in writing.

Months 1 to 3: shampoo flow, blow dry technique, retail product knowledge, scheduling and client communication, salon operations.

Months 4 to 6: color application, foiling fundamentals, toner application, gloss and tone-correction work, model nights with senior-stylist supervision.

Months 7 to 9: balayage and hand-painting basics, precision cutting fundamentals on real clients, extensions exposure, brand certifications (Davines, Brazilian Blowout where available).

Months 10 to 12: building your own column, client transition off your mentor, full junior-stylist sign-off.
