Hair industry education should be paid, structured, and continuous. At MAK Salon, it is. Stylists get paid education days on Kerastase, Olaplex, Milbon, K18, Magic Sleek, Lasio Keratin, and Brazilian Blowout. Education is part of the job, not extra.

Stylists Drive From These Towns for the Education

MAK Salon's paid education program pulls stylists from a wide radius because rare programs are worth the drive. Here is what it looks like:

• Bedford, NY — about 28 minutes via I-684 south.
• Manhattan Upper East Side, NY — about 30 minutes via Henry Hudson Pkwy north, our furthest-reaching connection into the city.
• Mount Kisco, NY — about 28 minutes via Saw Mill River Pkwy south.
• Throgs Neck, NY — about 20 minutes via Hutchinson River Pkwy north.
• Yorktown Heights, NY — about 30 minutes via Taconic State Pkwy south, tied for the longest drive and still a steady source of education-focused hires.

Continuing Education at MAK Salon

Hair industry education changes every year. New bond-builders, new keratin systems, new color formulations. A stylist who stops learning gets left behind. A salon that does not invest in education watches their best stylists leave.

MAK Salon takes education seriously. Brand training rotates through Kerastase, Olaplex, Milbon, K18, Magic Sleek, Lasio Keratin, and Brazilian Blowout throughout the year. Training happens during paid hours, not on stylist personal time. Senior stylists also lead in-house training on color theory, balayage technique, and color correction.

Marie Maksuti runs the salon by example, not by intimidation. The team is small enough that issues get addressed directly and quickly. Senior stylists mentor newer stylists, and everyone shares techniques, tips, and client knowledge.
