Paid Education Hours
Training isn't on your own time. We pay you to learn — including quarterly advanced color classes and certification tracks.
Color Lush isn't a booth-rental salon. It's a team-first environment where education, mentorship, and real career paths are built in — not afterthoughts.
Why Color Lush
Most salons promise growth but deliver a chair and a commission split. We built something different: a system where advancing your skills actually advances your career. Where education isn't optional — it's the foundation. Where the team wins together.
The Program
Training isn't on your own time. We pay you to learn — including quarterly advanced color classes and certification tracks.
Six levels with clear milestones. You know exactly what it takes to advance — and your pricing reflects your skill.
Every new stylist is paired with a senior team member. Real guidance, not just "figure it out."
Grow your extension career with one of Tennessee's premier Harper Ellis Partner Salons. Our team receives advanced education in the Concealed Bead Method, ongoing mentorship, and the opportunity to build a thriving extension business behind the chair.
As a L'ANZA Healing Center, we don't just provide great products — we provide education. New team members are trained in L'ANZA color, product knowledge, consultations, and hair health, so you can confidently recommend solutions and deliver exceptional results from day one.
Learn our signature head spa service in dedicated treatment rooms. A specialty that sets you apart.
Not just "use this." Understand why — the chemistry, the application, the consultation. Retail becomes natural.
No drama, no competition for clients, no gossip. We win together. That's not a slogan — it's how we operate.
Career Path
Your skill determines your level. Your level determines your pricing. Advance by completing education milestones and demonstrating mastery.
Culture Fit
In partnership with The Refine Network
Our six-month Artist Academy helps new stylists build confidence, technical skills, and real-world salon experience before launching their career behind the chair.
Through mentorship, talent shifts, hands-on learning, and access to the Artist Academy app, you'll receive ongoing support from both Color Lush and The Refine Network — the creators of the Artist Academy. And everything is supplied: just bring your own shears, and we provide the rest.

From the Team

"No drama. No competition for clients. Just a team that actually supports each other. I didn't think that existed."
"The level system made it clear what I needed to do to grow. My pricing went up because my skills went up. It's that simple."
