    Displaced Apprentices

    If your previous shop or salon is no longer able to support your apprenticeship due to compliance issues, lack of work, or other challenges, we’re here to help you stay on track toward your license.

    Provide your reason for displacement and the cities you’re available to work in so we can match you with the right opportunity.
