Join the Team

Why Solvi?

Solvi is not your typical salon. We are a small, intentional team working out of a sunlit second-floor loft on Capitol Boulevard in the heart of downtown Boise. Our space was designed with Scandinavian simplicity in mind: clean lines, natural light, warm tones, and a calm energy that clients and stylists both feel the moment they walk in.

We built this salon because we believe the environment you work in matters just as much as the work itself. No drama. No chaos. No rushing through clients to hit a number. At Solvi, we focus on doing beautiful work for people who appreciate it, and we take the time to do it right.

If you have been looking for a salon in the Treasure Valley that actually practices what it preaches when it comes to quality and culture, keep reading.

Our Culture

We are serious about the craft, but we do not take ourselves too seriously. Our team is collaborative, supportive, and genuinely invested in each other's growth. Here is what that looks like day to day:

• Mentorship that matters. Whether you are a newer stylist building confidence behind the chair or an experienced colorist refining advanced techniques, you will have real support. We learn from each other constantly.
• Continued education. We invest in our team's growth. From the Masters of Balayage program to product knowledge with Davines, we make sure you have access to training that actually moves the needle.
• Creative freedom. You will never be boxed into a formula here. We trust our stylists to bring their own vision and artistry to every client.
• Work-life balance. We respect your time outside the salon. Burnout is not a badge of honor here. We structure our days so you can do great work and still have a life outside of it.

What We Are Looking For

We are selective about who joins our team, and that is a good thing. The right fit matters more than a packed resume. Here is who tends to thrive at Solvi:

• Licensed stylists with an active Idaho cosmetology license (or the ability to transfer one)
• Color and extension specialists who geek out over formulation, placement, and finish
• Quality-over-volume mindset. If you would rather do three incredible transformations a day than rush through eight mediocre ones, we are on the same page.
• Team players. We share tips, swap ideas, and genuinely root for each other. Egos do not last long here.
• Growth mindset. You do not need to know everything. You just need to want to keep getting better.

What We Offer

When you join Solvi, you are not just filling a chair. You are joining a team that is building something special in Boise's downtown salon scene.

• Education support including access to advanced color and extension training programs
• Davines product line because the products you work with should be as intentional as the work you do
• Collaborative environment with a small team that genuinely supports each other
• Flexible scheduling that respects your life outside the salon
• Competitive compensation with room to grow as the salon grows
• A beautiful workspace in our natural-light loft on Capitol Boulevard, steps from downtown Boise restaurants, coffee shops, and the Boise River Greenbelt

Current Openings

Stylist

We are looking for an experienced stylist who is strong in color, cutting, and styling. Extension experience is a plus but not required. You should have at least two years behind the chair, a solid portfolio, and a genuine love for the craft. This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow with a young salon and help shape its future in the Boise market.

Assistant / Apprentice

New to the industry or recently licensed? Our apprentice program is designed to bridge the gap between school and a thriving career behind the chair. You will learn hands-on from experienced stylists, build real skills with real clients, and grow into a confident, booked-out professional. If you are hungry to learn and willing to put in the work, this could be the start of something great.

How to Apply

We keep things simple. Send us an email at solvisalon@solvisalon.com with the following:

You can also DM us on Instagram at @solvi.salon if that is more your style.
