Questions about hiring hair stylists
Can I see color work before booking a working interview?
+
Yes. Stylists post short videos of formulation, application, and finished results, so you can judge color and cutting technique before you give up a chair for a working interview.
Can I hire for commission, hourly, or chair rental?
+
Yes. Stylists list the arrangement they want, so you can filter to the ones open to what your salon offers instead of finding out on the phone.
Do you verify cosmetology licenses?
+
No. Vetano verifies identity with a government ID and shows demonstrated skill on video. License and certification checks stay with you as the employer.
