Each line will be giving us an abundant amount of back bar styling products upon opening so there will be plenty to use. Once we are out of our opening order of styling products, stylists can purchase at 50% of cost. You can also earn 1 styling product of choice per month by selling $500 in retail for the month.

  • Towels, capes, coffee and filtered water will be provided.

  • Velvaere Mae has an ample parking lot for staff and clients to use. We would like to reserve the front 2 rows of parking outside of our entry doors for clients. Staff will be expected to park further back.

  • A damage deposit of $400 will need to be paid in full to reserve your chair at Velvaere Mae. This deposit will cover all damages to our facility during the time you are working in our space. This deposit is non refundable. If you choose to sign our contract but do not pay the damage deposit in full, your chair is not securely saved for you.

  • You will be responsible for all communication with your clients regarding their appointments. We do have a phone number clients can contact in the event they cannot get a hold of the stylist. The salon will forward those messages directly to you in order to handle communication.

Mentorship

1 on 1 mentorship is available for free for 1 full year. The one year starts after your first mentorship meeting. Things covered in mentorship are pricing evaluations and formulas on how to simplify your pricing and make necessary increases as your business grows. Numbers break down. Square collects data on your client retention, pre booking, number of appointments and schedule utilization.

We break down these numbers to create a growth plan. Social media coaching, photography coaching and marketing coaching are also a fundamental part of growing your business as well as creating your brand. These are all things we value and feel necessary to pass on to our team. Mentorship meetings will be with Tiffany or Mollie.
