Hair Restoration Specialist / Licensed Cosmetologist

About CRLAB

CRLAB is a premium hair restoration and scalp health center specializing in non-surgical hair replacement, cranial prostheses, trichology, and advanced scalp care. We are not a traditional salon. Our work sits at the intersection of technical hairstyling, science, and personalized client care — helping people restore their hair, their confidence, and their quality of life.

Our Laguna Hills location is part of an internationally recognized brand built on proprietary methods, high-quality materials, and a discreet, consultative client experience. Every member of our team is trained to deliver results at the highest standard in the industry.

Position Overview

We are seeking a licensed cosmetologist or hairstylist who wants to grow beyond conventional salon work and build a long-term, specialized career in hair restoration and scalp health. This is a training-forward role: you bring strong technical hair skills, professionalism, and a genuine desire to master a specialty, and CRLAB provides the structured training to develop you into a hair restoration specialist.

No prior hair restoration, non-surgical replacement, or trichology experience is required. What matters most is your technical ability, attention to detail, and commitment to learning and staying in this field.

Key Responsibilities

• Learn and apply CRLAB's specialized methods for non-surgical hair replacement, cranial prostheses, and scalp health treatments
• Cut, style, blend, and maintain hair systems and prostheses to a premium, natural-looking standard
• Perform scalp and hair assessments and support clients through their treatment programs
• Deliver a consultative, discreet, and highly personalized client experience
• Maintain meticulous documentation, records, and follow-up care for each client
• Uphold strict standards of hygiene, product handling, and workspace presentation
• Build lasting client relationships that support retention and long-term results

Required Qualifications

• Active California cosmetology or hairstylist license in good standing
• Good foundational hairstyling skills, especially cutting, blending, and styling
• Excellent attention to detail and precision
• Professional, polished demeanor and strong interpersonal skills
• Reliability, discretion, and a client-first mindset
• Genuine interest in building a career in hair restoration and scalp health

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with hair systems, extensions, wigs, or cranial prostheses
• Background in fine detail work (color correction, precision cutting, custom blending)
• Familiarity with scalp health, trichology, or related wellness fields
• Bilingual ability is a plus

Training & Professional Development

CRLAB provides comprehensive, specialized training to develop your expertise in hair restoration, non-surgical hair replacement, cranial prostheses, and trichology/scalp health. You will learn proprietary techniques and methods not taught in cosmetology school, with ongoing mentorship and opportunities to advance into a recognized specialist role within a growing field.

This is a career path, not just a job — designed for a stylist who wants to develop rare, in-demand skills and become an expert in a specialized area of the industry.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are a skilled, detail-oriented stylist who takes pride in your craft and is ready for something more meaningful than day-to-day salon work. You are curious, coachable, and motivated by the idea of mastering a specialty and making a real difference in clients' lives. You value professionalism, consistency, and long-term growth, and you are looking for a place to build your career rather than your next short-term stop.

Schedule & Employment Type

• Employment type: Full-time / Part-time
• Schedule: Tuesday to Saturday
• Location: On-site, Laguna Hills, CA

Compensation

Hourly rate plus commissions.

Benefits & Perks

• Paid, specialized training in a high-value niche of the industry
• Clear path for career growth into a hair restoration specialist role
• Work in a premium, professional environment (not a high-volume salon floor)
• Meaningful work helping clients restore confidence and quality of life
• Supportive, expert-led team and mentorship
• PTO, product discounts, continuing education.
