Within 5 years of graduation, only about 15% of the stylists that you trained with will still be in the industry.

Sounds pretty crazy, but unfortunately, it’s true.

Why?

You may think your biggest career decision so far was your commitment to becoming a hairdresser, massage therapist or make-up artist and the education required to get into the field of your dreams.

I believe the biggest decision is actually where you choose to “work”. 

I say “work” because, at many salons, that’s all that you are hired to do: work. They don’t hire you with the intentions to mentor, coach or help you reach your full potential. They don’t hire you to build a career that you can retire from.

If this is truly your career then…

You will need help and training to become the stylist that you dreamed about when you went to school. The one that works New York Fashion Week, a stylist who does photo-shoots or someone who simply wants to master the art of hair.

Why are we committed to building our team and our company this way?

Even though spending the amount of time and money that we do to develop you is an expensive business model, we know it’s the only way to grow real hairdressers. Our time proven, team focused culture is the cornerstone of our success. We want to invest in you.

 

Transform lives through the art of beauty. Join Lockworx and unleash your full potential in a rewarding career where creativity, skill, and passion blend seamlessly

Because at our core, we’re hairdressers first.

At Lockworx, we only hire committed passionate stylists and we hire you knowing it is our job to help develop your career. It’s taken us 30 years to create a curriculum that is so in-depth, that it surpasses almost every advanced school in the US. That may sound like an exaggeration, yet it’s my life’s work. I don’t accept “good enough” so it’s something I can say with the utmost confidence.

The only way to achieve lasting success is through education.

The best way to be busy for the long term is to be great at what you do.  We know that in the end your career is not defined by thousands of friends or followers and the reality of your skills will be what makes or breaks your career. This is why we strive for continued education for every employee. We want you to be amazing at what you do.

Where should you grow roots so that you can soar?

Somewhere that will help you to not become a statistic. The reason so many stylists won’t be in the industry is because they don’t know what to do next, or they either never get a job. Some end up working for the wrong place and become disillusioned into deciding this isn’t the industry for them. We want to give you the tools and education to empower yourself into achieving your personal goals. As a Hair Salon established in Lansing over 30 years ago, we strive to continue being an employer that provides a clear, bright future for all employees.

The choice is yours to make. 

If you like what you’ve read and heard about us and you’re ready to find a place to call home, stop in and let’s have a real conversation to discover all the possibilities.

We are one of the best salons anywhere, yet we are still a relaxed and fun salon. Don’t be intimidated by this, be excited. We are a down to earth salon where we don’t think that we are better than other people, just better than other salons.

Come on in and start your path to success.

I couldn’t be happier with how my hair turned out. Idk how Rachel did it but I have never been so excited about my hair. It changes depending on how the light hits it and looks so radiant in the sunlight. She took the time to get an understanding of what I wanted, gave me a little education throughout the process and definitely went about and beyond expectations for the final result!! Rachel was pleasant to talk with, friendly, and joyful throughout the whole process. It also didn’t take as long as I expected. I’m sure that could depend on service requests and hair length… either way I was happy about that as well!! The Salon was clean and the rest of the staff were friendly and pleasant as well. Complimentary beverages and a coat check if needed. It is very modern and has lots of room in the front waiting area. I definitely recommend Lockworx Salon and Rachel.

Carrie is truly amazing at what she does! She always listens to exactly what you want and works with you to achieve your hair goals. I love going to her because she’s so friendly, welcoming, and makes every appointment such a great experience. It’s honestly hard to find a hairstylist who consistently gives amazing results, but Carrie does every single time. Even when I’m unsure of exactly what I want, she takes the time to guide me through the process and helps bring my ideas to life in a way that actually works for me. She’s patient, talented, and really cares about making sure you leave happy and confident. I even drive 30 minutes to see her because she’s absolutely worth it every time. I can’t recommend her enough!

Michaela from Lockworx is amazing!!!! Everyone was so professional and welcoming from when I stepped in the building to when I left. My hair when I came in was a disaster. It was 9 months since I last got my hair done. Michaela did a really good job with my color/cut and even offered to style my hair. She gave me really good advice about how to style my hair when I’m at home and offered lots of different products. I ended up buying a small sample of a curl cream but wish I bought the full bottle because it’s worked so well!

BRE IS MAGIC!!! I have been going to Lockworx since 2010 and have not let a single other person touch my hair since then! I always enjoy my time at the salon, even with the 3+ hours in the chair, because of the friendly staff, refreshing environment and of course, Bre's patience and expertise. I could not recommend a more knowledgeable or professional hair dresser than Bre. Thank you for being my go-to and a great friend at the end of the day!

I cannot recommend Brooke enough! From our very first appointment, she took the time to really talk with me about what I wanted, my hair goals, and what my schedule realistically allows. She truly listens and gives honest advice. Brooke helps me keep my hair happy and healthy while still achieving fun color goals like purple and now maroon. She is an incredibly talented stylist and colorist. My color is always vibrant, dimensional, and grows out beautifully. I completely trust her with my hair and know it will look amazing every time. The salon itself is amazing too. Everyone at the front is always so helpful and sweet, and they’re constantly checking to make sure I’m comfortable and have everything I need. Every visit feels welcoming and relaxing. I always leave feeling confident and excited about my hair. Highly recommend!

I’ve tried many salons in Lansing and this is by far the best experience I’ve had. I’ve been going to Cassidy for my highlights for over a year now and I have a consistently pleasant experience. I’m always offended refreshments and the vibe of the salon is extremely welcoming.

Bre is fantastic for customized color! Have been going to her for years. Just recently started seeing Cassidy for the sugar hair removal on my legs. Works great on sensitive skin.

I’ve been going to CJ for 3-4 years and she does magical things to my hair. She’s a calm and relaxed stylist who listens and understands my needs. I always leave with healthy, refreshed hair that grows out well and is so easy to maintain.
