Best Salon to Work For in Star, Idaho
Star is growing fast and the stylists moving out here deserve a chair worth the drive. Sølvi Salon is about a 30-minute commute through Eagle and into downtown Boise, and for most stylists in Star the combination of clientele, culture, and craft-focused team is worth it.
Why Sølvi Salon Is the Best Salon to Work For
We built Sølvi around what working stylists actually want. An independent salon with a calm, focused energy, not a commission-pressure floor. A downtown Boise loft with natural light and mountain views instead of a strip-mall box. Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic, educated clientele that values craft, all-inclusive pricing so there is no awkward upsell at the chair. The model rewards stylists who do great work and keep their books full, without asking you to hit arbitrary retail quotas or sell services that clients do not need.
What You Get as a Sølvi Stylist
- Competitive earnings: commission structure that rewards your book and grows with you.
- Supportive ownership: owned by working stylists who are still on the floor, not remote investors.
- Continuing education: Davines education, color correction mentorship, extensions support.
- Modern space: 104 S Capitol Blvd, Suite 200 — a bright, quiet loft with mountain views.
- Balanced schedule: Tue-Fri 10-7, Sat-Mon 9-5. Real days off. No weekend guilt trips.
- Curated product line: full Davines retail line with professional team access.
- Clean team culture: pro-stylist, pro-client, zero drama.
Who We're Looking For
Licensed Idaho cosmetologists with 2+ years of professional experience. Color specialists, balayage stylists, and extensions stylists especially. We care less about years and more about craft, judgment, and how you treat clients and teammates. If you are a year in but you already have taste and drive, talk to us. If you are a 20-year vet ready for a calmer room to do your best work, we should definitely talk.
Commute from Star, Idaho
From Star, you are about 30-35 minutes west of our downtown studio via Highway 44 through Eagle, then south on State Street or Chinden into downtown. The I-184 route is also an option depending on your side of town. Our Star stylists generally leave a bit earlier in the morning to avoid Eagle-area school traffic, and once you are past the Chinden/State split, downtown flows fast. Parking at the Capitol Terrace garage, a block from the studio, makes arrival simple.
The Sølvi Culture
We are an independent hair studio owned and operated by working stylists, not remote investors or a franchise. Our lead stylist Autumn Schiess built Sølvi around what she wanted a salon to feel like. Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic, calm energy, a loft with actual light and mountain views, client-first service, pro-stylist-first culture, zero drama. You do great work, we clear the runway for you to keep doing it.
