Common Questions
Do I need a cosmetology license?
Yes — for any cosmetologist jobs Brentwood, California requires an active license from the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. However, cosmetology students nearing graduation can apply for Assistant Stylist roles. We’ll plan around your license completion date.
What are the salon hours?
Vamp is open Tuesday through Saturday, 8am to 7pm. We build schedules around availability; not every stylist works every day.
Is there a non-compete agreement?
No. California Business and Professions Code §16600 prohibits most non-compete clauses for employees. Therefore, we honor that policy fully.
How long until an Assistant promotes to Stylist?
Typically 8–12 months. Timing depends on skill progression, license status, and chair availability. Furthermore, promotion is performance-based and discussed openly during training.
Can I do both booth rental and W-2 stylist work?
No — these are different legal relationships (employment vs. independent contractor) and can’t be mixed at the same salon. Pick the path that fits where you are in your career.
Do you sponsor work visas?
We don’t currently sponsor employment-based work visas. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States.
Where else can I find hair salon careers Brentwood?
We post openings here as seats become available. Additionally, for other hair salon careers Brentwood-area listings, the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology maintains a public directory of licensed salons. We’re not currently hiring outside our Brentwood, CA location.
