Junior: Up to $1,000
Senior: Up to $2,500
Expert: Up to $4,000
The bonus is designed to reward a successful transition to Flip Out—not simply accepting the position. Eligibility and maximum bonus opportunity are established at hiring based on the stylist's experience, existing clientele and demonstrated historical performance.
Bonuses are earned over the stylist's first year based on continued employment, Good Standing and achievement of agreed-upon performance/book-transfer expectations.
This structure allows an established stylist to be rewarded for the business they successfully bring with them while also providing newer stylists an opportunity to earn additional compensation as they establish themselves at Flip Out.
A Career Path You Can Actually See
We believe stylists should understand what they need to accomplish to earn more.
Commission increases and level advancement are based on measurable performance, including:
- Service production
- Schedule utilization
- Prebooking
- Client retention
- Retail performance
- Professional standards and Good Standing
Performance is reviewed on a defined schedule using sustained results—not one unusually good or bad month.
That means you don't have to wonder what it takes to earn your next commission increase or advance from Junior to Senior or Senior to Expert.
Who We're Looking For
We're interested in meeting stylists at different stages of their careers. You may be a good fit if you're a stylist who:
- Holds a current cosmetology license
- Takes pride in providing excellent technical work and client experiences
- Is dependable, professional and team-oriented
- Understands the importance of building long-term client relationships
- Is comfortable recommending future appointments and appropriate professional home care
- Wants to grow both technically and financially

Already have an established clientele? We'd especially like to talk with you. Your existing production and clientele may qualify you for a higher starting stylist level, higher starting commission and a larger first-year book-transfer bonus.
Still building your clientele? You don't need a large existing book to join Flip Out. Our Junior Stylist level provides a defined path for developing your production, clientele and compensation over time.
