OUR FOUNDATION

Steve and Lisa Curry established Ashka Salon & Spa in 2003. Both having nearly 20 years experience in the beauty industry – they set out to create a culture that empowered stylists to reach their full potential. It was extremely important to them to cultivate an environment where all team members wanted to come in to work and live out their careers in. The very first step to building this environment was to form the company’s foundation. The following are the principles that every other plan, structure, system and expectation in our company stem from.

  • Encourage a lively, positive, fun work culture and environment…have FUN!
  • Always uphold our integrity and contribute to the betterment of local and global community.

NEW TALENT TRAINING PROGRAM
If you have recently graduated from cosmetology school and are currently seeking your license, we would love the opportunity to tell you more about our New Talent Training Program. Although a traditional cosmetology school prepares you to pass state boards and service guests…our training program teaches you to perform advanced services, as well as prepares you for achieving your goals, understanding the growth opportunity in our business and outlines all of the expectations of working at Ashka.

Our modular program covers women’s cutting and coloring, men’s cutting and coloring, airbrush makeup application, advanced texture services, special occasion styling, advanced nail treatments, guest care and business development. These modules are taught by our Training Manager, owners and leadership team and are facilitated by our Senior Mentor Stylists throughout the week.

The New Talent Training Program offers the best of both worlds by capitalizing on the opportunity to learn advanced services at the outset of your career, assist Senior Mentor Stylists who have successfully “walked the walk” for years and get to know the owners and leadership team. Part way through the program you will earn 1-3 days on the floor to begin using these hard-earned skills and cultivate a clientele. When you graduate from this program and earn your full-time schedule on the floor you will be ready to face whatever challenge comes your way!

Our New Talent Stylists are the best around and we look to hire professionals for this program who have diverse areas of experience including those who have not attended AVEDA Institutes. If you have goals, dreams and a drive to do what it takes to jump start your career, then this is the program for you. We hire 2-5 assistants per year on a rotating schedule so we are constantly seeking the right candidates. We would love the opportunity to meet you – please stop in or send us an email [email protected].
EXPERIENCED STYLISTS
Are you burnt out on working in an environment that is unfriendly or unpleasant? Do you feel overworked or undervalued? Maybe you are just looking for a change or need to move in order to grow your career. If you are experienced in this area or have cultivated a steady clientele, we would love the opportunity to tell you more about our culture!

We have a welcoming team of professionals and an influx of new guests each month. We enjoy a clean, classy, upscale and positive work environment. We strive to give each professional the tools they need to succeed and we are entirely supportive of you reaching your goals. We offer education reimbursement, product knowledge training, bonuses on services and retail, salon assistants and generous time off. We have a structure that clearly shows you the path to get where you want to in your career.

We think one of the best things about this industry is the flexibility it can provide – and we have structured our salon and spa to give that to each of our team members. We consistently focus on recognizing our team’s success and creating a place where everyone enjoys coming to work.

We have been in this business for 15years and 75% of our original team members are still here. Whatever your reason is for moving on to something new, please allow us the opportunity to open your eyes to a salon and spa that prides themselves on doing things a little different!

Please send us an email to [email protected] and tell us a little about where you are in your career and why you are considering a change. All interviews and communication are entirely confidential.
