APPLY NOW

We believe strong structure creates real freedom. Every new artist begins with a focused onboarding experience designed to build confidence, consistency, and technical excellence. Once you move through that foundation and step fully onto the floor, flexibility becomes part of your career rhythm. We honor family life, support working parents, and recognize that balance is essential to long-term success. With paid holidays and paid vacation included, your career at Paris Parker is designed to support your life.

What we do inside the salon matters. What we do outside of it matters just as much. Paris Parker proudly partners with charity: water and supports the Ochsner DigniCap Program Fund in collaboration with the New Orleans Saints, helping cancer patients undergoing treatment. During the holidays, we organize toy drives along with food and clothing collections to support local families. Giving back is not a campaign for us. It is part of our identity as a New Orleans brand.

Education at Paris Parker is structured, comprehensive, and ongoing. Every artist moves through an orientation and immersive training program that includes styling, texture training, Aveda product knowledge, social media education, and personal branding support. From there, artists choose their path.

Our annual education calendar includes advanced cutting and razor work, trend-forward color techniques, barbering, makeup, extensions, and Cezanne keratin certification. Artists gain access to Serious Business Conference, North American Hairstyling Awards, Fashion Week styling in New York and New Orleans, editorial photo shoots, and Elevate Hair experiences.

Paris Parker offers a competitive and comprehensive benefits package designed to support long-term careers:

  • Health insurance including dental and vision
  • Life insurance
  • 401(k) with a 40% company match
  • PTO
  • Competitive tiered commission structure
  • Quarterly reviews with executive leadership
  • Front desk support and business coaching
  • Social media and personal branding training
  • Leadership development courses
  • 50% employee discount on products and services
  • Professional styling kit provided upon joining

Our culture is grounded in five core values: love, relationship, development, memorable experiences, and trust. We create an environment where diversity is embraced, development is expected, and quality of life is enhanced. Our service menu is gender-neutral. We are proudly LGBTQ+ inclusive. Individuality is celebrated here, not filtered. We are looking for artists who love what they do, who want to keep learning, and who are committed to building a true career inside a company that believes in them.

We operate as an extension of the larger NEILL network, giving our team direct access to Aveda education, innovation, and leadership. Artists have opportunities to work on stage or behind the scenes at Elevate Hair events, participate in Aveda Congress, style for Fashion Week, contribute to editorial and billboard shoots, and provide hair and makeup for the Saints Cheer Krewe and Pelicans Squad. Repeatedly voted Best Salon and Best Spa, named to Elle Magazine’s Top 100 Salons, and recognized year after year as one of Salon Today Magazine’s Top 200, Paris Parker is a brand with real industry credibility.
