Careers
YOU + TRUE BLUE
True Blue Salon offers limitless career opportunities, an upbeat atmosphere, free advanced education from industry pros, and superior salon support for beauty experts looking for that good salon life.
ALL THE TOOLS TO BE YOUR BEST
At True Blue, we want our team members to have a great life and be great at what they do. That’s why we focus heavily on coaching, training and mentoring—ensuring our team has all the tools they need to be successful and that we keep our award-winning reputation in check.
Speaking of awards, True Blue has a few. We’ve been named one of Salon Today’s Top 200 salons 15 times, Nashville’s Top 3 Salons by Nashville Scene (2020, 2021,2022 and 2023) and received the Best Hair Dresser award from Nashville Scene.
As for our team culture, we’re a group of goal-oriented, eclectic creatives with a lot of energy and a strong work ethic. We often go out for team outings with our True Blue fam—bowling, happy hours, salon parties, lunches, industry events, etc.—and are always looking for fun-loving members to join our crew. We love working together, and quite frankly, we love each other’s company outside of work, too.
BUILD A LIFE YOU LOVE IN NASHVILLE
The only thing we love more than our salon is our city, Nashville, TN. Known as “Music City,” Nashville is an excellent place to call home. We’ve got a booming healthcare industry, endless entertainment, sports teams, great schools, a stable economy, and a nationally-recognized affordable cost of living.
We’re located in Vanderbilt West End, close to downtown Nashville and both the Belle Meade and Hillsboro Village neighborhoods. On the day-to-day, our team enjoys coffee and lunch from local shops near the salon.
The Environment
As an Aveda salon, the well-being of the planet (and our community) is always on our minds. Choosing 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainably-sourced products is the ultimate way to say, “We care,” together. Through Earth Month and ongoing initiatives with Aveda, we raise funds for Charity: Water to help bring clean water to those in need.
The Community
Other ongoing areas of community involvement include service work and fundraisers for worthy causes within Nashville.
True Blue's team-based structure allows us to help and teach each other—and smash goals while we do it.
We provide all team members with all the tools they need to succeed, including:
- strategies to build stylist’s books
- marketing support within the salon
- ongoing promotion on social media
- frequent team meetings
- front desk support & assistant support
- coaching
And while we’re treating our team right, we stay true to our clients by providing stellar services and committing ourselves to the highest work standards.
Working at True Blue isn't just a job—it's an investment in your future.
Education never stops at True Blue. With continuing training by our in-house experts and outside industry leaders, our team stays on top of the latest and greatest trends and techniques in an ever-evolving industry.
We hire for attitude and train for success.
Training at True Blue is customized on experience and skill levels, with clear objectives outlined.
