Sliding scale commissions are designed to create competition, and we think thats pretty fucking toxic. Every commission based employee of WFLYH is paid 48% commission of service sales.

An additional benefit: All meetings + training are paid, in addition to commission earnings, at the current minimum wage rate.

Product charges / back bar fees are confusing, borderline unethical and eat away a commission percentages. When we say 48% commission, we fucking mean it.

WFLYH provides all Soft Tools (such as hair dye, developer, shampoo, conditioner, styling products, foils, towels, capes etc) needed to support your career.

Hard Tools (such as blowdryers, brushes, combs, shears & clippers, etc) due to their personal nature are the responsibility of each employee. We provide a secure location for each stylist to store their tools when they are away from the salon.

Curate a schedule that works best for you, your clients and your circadiam rhythm.

WFLYH is open Tuesdays - Sundays with schedule flexibility availability from 6:00am - 10:00pm.

All stylists/barbers have unlimited time off. No time off requests. No required make-up days. Zero bartering with management or competing with coworkers for days off.

All employees can earn up to 40 hours of paid leave and 40 hours of paid sick leave per year.

Paid leave can be used for any reason. Paid sick leave can be used for health and safety issues.

Employees earn one hour of paid leave and one hour of paid sick leave for every 35 hours worked

**** This is a Chicago ordinance. The benefit WFLYH offers is being clear and transparent allowing our employees to utilize their earned hours to their maximum benefit.

Ability to enroll in 401k retirement plan.

• 3% company match (after 6 months of employment)

• Profit Sharing (2 year vesting period)

Ready to raise your prices? Fuck yes!

We work one on one with our artists to help them determine when and how much their price increases should be.

No retail or prebooking goal posts over here.

We respect the relationship between stylist & client, a principle that should be standard rather than revolutionary in our industry.

Our stylists maintain direct communication with clients through their own email addresses. Their professional network, community ties, and clientele remain their own, empowering them to transition seamlessly should they decide to explore opportunities beyond WFLYH.

Wanna work at two salons at the same time? GASP!

Wanna try freelancing for yourself on the side? DOUBLE GASP!

Need to supplement your income while you build (or re-build) your clientele with another job? TRIPLE GASP!

That’s more than okay over here!

Go live your life, like the incredible adult that you are.

Franky meets with each of her co-stylists one on one every 3 weeks for business/career mentorship and development.

Every stylist has different continued educational needs/wants/desires. There is nothing worse than sitting through a class that isn’t something you want to learn, or worse a class that’s so over your head you can’t follow along. While WFLYH occasionally provides in salon education, we empower our stylists to find classes that suit their specific needs and career goals.

Listen... someday you're going to be so fucking successful that you'll want to blow this popsicle stand.

Franky offers coaching and investment opportunites to make your business dreams a reality.
