Urban Legends is looking for a Hairstylist to join our team!

THIS IS US

UL was founded 21 years ago to fulfill a need, the need for a salon/spa in Chemainus that offered exceptional quality services and products for our clients and a friendly, stable, well-run business for salon personnel to work, thrive and practice their craft.  This is still our goal.

Our clients are the heartbeat of our existence, and we have made many life-long lasting connections with the wonderful people who have come through our doors.  We love what we do and our clients that make it possible.  We offer a variety of services to meet the needs of our clients, not always cutting edge but practical solutions for their lifestyles and being able to deliver the best results regardless of the service is our goal.  Our service model is one client at a time, so you can concentrate on doing your best without rushing back and forth between clients.

Our goal with our team is to create a happy, consistently stable working environment. We all want to do our work, do what we love, then have some remaining energy to go home to our lives and enjoy our time off.   

We have the best administrative team who manage and look after the clients and the business at hand so that each salon or spa personnel can focus their energies on their clients and the services that they are providing.  We have the best products and equipment to ensure the success of your services, and team members to assist you in your new position and to collaborate with. This makes starting out at a new place of work a little less intimidating.

What is it like to work at Urban Legends?

  • You receive a reliable income.


    We compensate our staff with exceptional hourly wages opposed to commission. This means you are getting paid whether you are booked with clients or not. This makes a big impact on our team culture and client experience! No one is rushing through clients in order to make more money, and you don’t have to worry about the lost income from cancellations or no-shows. You get paid the same wage to help at reception as you do when performing services. As long as you are here contributing to the team, you get paid.

    It is a high priority that our team members get more than just a living wage and are able to support themselves, their families, and life outside of work! We offer competitive wages based on experience/education and regular wage increases.

  • You work within a team with diverse skills and interests.

    We have hairstylists, estheticians, cosmetic injectors, and administrators that all work together to ensure we are providing extraordinary experiences. No matter what role you’re in at UL, you are an important part of the team! 

    With all these different expertises under one roof, we are able to offer a solution for any wellness/beauty concern someone may have.

  • You foster relationships and build a returning clientele.

    We embrace the opportunity to serve. Being a servant in today’s world isn’t intuitive. We let go of our egos and take pride in serving our clients. This is more than performing a service and taking payment. It’s about building a relationship of trust, understanding their needs and consistently delivering value that exceeds their expectations.

    We take our roles in our client’s lives seriously. When you see a client every few weeks, they become friends. You see them through different phases of life, through sadness and through celebrations. It’s an honour to hear their stories and be someone they can talk to.

  • You believe in our core values and do your best, every day.

    Our core values are trust, honesty, teamwork, and empowerment. The focus on these values have created a safe environment for our team to succeed, be creative in their craft, and have fun!

  • You get to grow and learn.

    We believe that through constant education comes constant inspiration! Advanced and ongoing training is paid for and provided for our team.

  • You finish your day, excited for the next.

    At the end of the work day, we want our team to be personally fulfilled by what they accomplished and still have the energy to enjoy their home life. Work-life balance is incredibly important to us! That is why we’re only open Monday to Friday and closed on all stat holidays.
