We're building our team with stylists who can serve North Raleigh and neighboring Triangle communities, all from our single salon at 5039 Arco Street in Cary. Here's what that means day to day. Between stylist roles, color specialist roles, salon coordinator roles, and education-track roles, there is more range here than the phrase 'salon job' usually implies, and every one of them is treated like an actual career instead of a stop along the way.
Why North Raleigh Stylists Choose Artisan Hair Cary
North Raleigh has one of the largest beauty professional talent pools in the Triangle and our salon often fits stylists looking for an environment that values long careers. The drive from North Raleigh runs about 25 minutes via I-540 West to NC-55 South to Alston Town Center. We have stylists who commute longer distances every day because the work environment, the mentorship, and the brand education calendar make the drive worth it.
If you are based in Wake County, the route to our 5039 Arco Street salon is direct. We are inside Alston Town Center next to Whole Foods at the NC-55 and 540 interchange. Free parking, and an entrance that opens straight into the salon.
The Range of Beauty Professional Jobs We Hire For
North Raleigh has one of the deepest beauty professional talent pools in the Triangle, so we hear from a lot of people who assume ‘salon job’ means one narrow track. It does not, at least not here. We staff Apprentice Stylists, Artisan Stylists, Color Specialists, Master Stylists, and Salon Coordinators, each covering a different piece of the guest’s visit, and each opened only when the floor actually needs it, never to hit a number. If you are licensed, or nearly there, and have a lane in mind, send your resume and we will tell you honestly where you fit.
Who Works at Artisan Hair Cary

- Sydney, Artisan Stylist. Specializes in vivid fashion colors, blonding, and Keratin Complex smoothing.

How Beauty Professional Roles Grow Here
Nobody moves up here on a timer alone. New licensees begin as Apprentices, shadowing senior stylists through real cutting and color services. Somewhere between 6 and 12 months of that structured mentorship, apprentices are ready to become Artisan Stylists and start their own column. Beyond that, the path splits toward Color Specialist, Senior Stylist, or Master Stylist, based on where a person's interest actually points. What moves someone up is skill, consistency, and the team's own read on the work, never a quota.
The same track applies to a brand-new graduate and a stylist transferring in from somewhere else. We meet each person at their actual starting point and build from there.
Brands, Tools, and Continuing Education
Brands here are a working toolkit, not a marketing list. The team uses Goldwell, Lakme, Color WOW, KMS, and Amika daily, with Keratin Complex for smoothing services and K18 plus Olaplex on every lightening service for bond support. The education tied to those brands comes straight from the manufacturers, from Rob Schutzbach's own in-house teaching, and from outside workshops when someone wants to specialize.
Technique and product knowledge stay sharp for the stylists who keep learning, and our continuing education calendar is built so that happens by default, not by exception.
Culture and What to Expect at Artisan Hair Cary
You will notice three things on your first day: a clean station, a schedule that holds up, and a team that already knows your name. Rob Schutzbach works the floor like a teacher who never stopped being a stylist himself. The pace stays steady, services are not rushed, and consultations get real time.
Most days, lunch is a team thing, and difficult color corrections get solved collectively. A mistake becomes something to learn from, not something to be blamed for. Stylists from North Raleigh who joined us say the steadiness of the culture is what surprised them most, the thing they did not know they needed.
Education happens on a steady cadence, woven into the same calendar as guest services rather than competing with it. Brand classes, internal teaching, and open chair time all have a place. Stylists who want to keep growing keep growing, and stylists who want to specialize get the runway. It is all built for long careers.
