“Working at The Industry has brought back passion and love for being behind the chair, and I believe if we can feel that our clients can too! Not only do I get to work with girls that inspire me to be better, I’ve built some of the best friendships with my co-stylists. The atmosphere is positive and inspiring, and everyday we get to transform people’s looks and boost their confidence! It’s a place where I can build lasting relationships with both clients and colleagues, and I can’t imagine doing what I love anywhere else!!”

“I absolutely love the work environment at The Industry! It’s not just a place where we work, it’s a space where creativity flows and collaboration is encouraged.
The energy is always positive, and there’s a real sense of teamwork that makes every day enjoyable. My coworkers are not only incredibly talented, but they’re also supportive and genuinely care about each other. We celebrate each other’s successes both personally and professionally, share tips, and help out when someone needs it. It feels like a second family, and that sense of connection makes all the difference in creating a space where both clients and staff feel welcome and valued.”

“I moved to The Industry from suite rental, I was struggling growing my clientele and the days started meshing together because I was always by myself in the suite. Once I made the switch i felt instantly at home and started absolutely thriving! Clients (and myself) love the ambiance of the salon as it’s a very laidback vibe which makes it a safe space for anyone who enters. My coworkers have become amazing friends, the salon has given me space to consistently grow and perfect my craft, and it’s so convenient i have everything right at my fingertips to allow me to focus fully on my clients and deliver my best work. It’s more than a workplace; it’s a community and i’m so grateful to be apart of it!”

“I absolutely love working at Industry Color + Extension Bar because the people are truly incredible. The energy in the salon is unlike anywhere else— there’s this vibrant, positive vibe that makes every day exciting. It’s such a diverse space, filled with talented individuals, and the way we all come together is seamless. Each person brings something unique to the table, and it creates a perfect balance of creativity, teamwork, and support. It’s an inspiring environment, and I feel lucky to be a part of it.”

“I love working at The Industry Color + Extension Bar! Transitioning to chair rental sounded intimidating at first, but Taija and my co-workers at The Industry have been so helpful in giving me advice for success. All of the girls are more than willing to help, and have been so kind since day one. I love that we all have the same passion to create. Many of my clients comment on the relaxing and luxury atmosphere, and enjoy their time to relax. I also enjoy having a space filled with like-minded women to fuel my passion for the beauty industry. I am forever grateful for Taija, my co-workers, and The Industry!”

“Working at The Industry is a dream because it’s a space filled with creativity, connection, and transformation. I get to help people look and feel their best while building genuine relationships with my clients. The energy here is so positive and inspiring, it’s like a second home where I can express my passion and be surrounded by a team that shares the same love for beauty and selfcare. Every day is an opportunity to make someone’s day brighter, and that’s what I love most.”

“Working at the Industry Salon has been an incredible experience! Moving from a small-town salon to Cedar Rapids was a big change, but it’s easily the best decision I’ve made. The team of talented, supportive women I work with make every day enjoyable, and the positive, conflict-free environment is truly special.
Our salon offers a luxurious yet cozy atmosphere where clients always feel well taken care of. Plus, I absolutely love the products we carry-Davines and Goldilocks have quickly become my all-time tavorites!”
