Associates: Right-Hand Cowgirls

At Western Blonde Salon, we are proud to work with our Right-Hand Cowgirls, licensed cosmetologists who play a vital role in supporting our stylists while they refine their skills. These cowgirls have completed 1-2 years of school, passed their licensing exams, and are currently in our education program, where they receive hands-on learning opportunities through both in-house and industry-led classes. As a teaching salon, we believe in a collaborative approach, and our Right-Hand Cowgirls actively assist with color application alongside the stylist, ensuring they gain real-world experience in every step of the process. They also assist with shampooing, including scalp massages, blow-drying, and finish outs, using the techniques we’ve taught them. This partnership allows us to run on time, making services more efficient and elevating the overall client experience. Our Right-Hand Cowgirls are quickly becoming skilled stylists in their own right and are an essential part of our team, especially for labor-intensive services like lived-in color, where their support is invaluable. Their dedication and growing expertise help us provide exceptional guest experiences and keep our salon running smoothly, all while embodying the strength and spirit of a true Western team.

After completing a challenging checklist of models and skill requirements, they’re now ready to saddle up, build their own clientele, and carve out their path in the world of beauty. With a pioneering spirit and a passion for discovery, our Trailblazers are primed for success as they begin their journey.

Level 3: Trail Boss

The Trail Boss Level is for stylists who are successfully growing their clientele or are experienced professionals new to Western Blonde Salon. These stylists are busy, respected for their skills, and consistently hit key benchmarks like customer satisfaction and receiving referrals from loyal clients. Much like a seasoned trail boss, they manage their schedules with authority, using their expertise to lead the way. They often delegate tasks such as shampooing, glazing, and finish work to licensed associates. Educators also start at this level and work side-by-side with their associates to guide them in skill application. While their prices are a bit lower than our highest level, their appointments are generally more accessible, and they are well on their way to becoming a top-tier stylist at Western Blonde Salon.

Level 4: Cattle Queen

A true leader in the beauty world, much like a Cattle Queen on her ranch, this stylist commands attention with unmatched expertise and dedication. She’s in charge of all the fine details of color and design, ensuring every client leaves feeling their best. While many Level 4 stylists work hand-in-hand with their licensed associates, who perform the same tasks as the stylist, from the color process to shampooing, glazing, and finish work—not all Level 4s do. Some prefer to handle every step of the process themselves. Regardless of approach, the Cattle Queen remains at the helm, overseeing and perfecting the artistry. With a reputation for stellar customer satisfaction and a steady stream of referrals, the Cattle Queen is a seasoned stylist whose schedule is as busy as a bustling ranch, earning her place in the top tier of stylists at Western Blonde Salon.
