The Douglas J Difference
Ultimate Classroom.
Because we operate salons and spas ranked in the top 200 nationwide by Salon Today, we also teach the business best practices that ensure success. Your time on the clinic floor is about performing technically excellent services for your guests, while learning consultation and retailing skills, language and more. We know what salons expect and need in new talent, and we mold our students into the ideal employees they’re looking for. We’re shaping the craft through business.
We Connect You With a Career.
While we can’t guarantee employment, we offer strong career support. As part of the Douglas J network, you’ll have access to resources like “how-to” videos, ring lights, and backdrops to build a professional portfolio and brand.
