Our model is purely commission-based and uncapped, with earnings based directly on demand and productivity. Your commission is tied directly to your services, experience, and specialties—including premium offerings like hand-tied extensions or complex color corrections.

Is there opportunity for specialization or advancement?
Absolutely. Colourists at Fluff develop specializations—whether that’s corrective colour mastery, creative techniques, or balayage excellence. You can also grow into mentorship roles, lead colour clinics, and develop your signature style and brand.
What’s the work environment like at Fluff?
Fluff Colour Salon is designed as a calm, focused space where colour artistry is the priority. You won’t juggle multiple services or feel rushed. Our LoDo location is luxurious and conducive to the detailed, creative work colour demands. The team is collaborative, supportive, and passionate about colour.
