Are you interested in prolonging the Anagen phase of hair growth, understanding why some hair strands are more fragile than others, and are you studying to enter the field of dermatology?
Do the differences in hair care, growth rates, elasticity, sheen, porosity, texture, breakage, and patterns fascinate you?
Would you love to help a growing salon brand research hair, hair care, hair products, and help people make better decisions about the things they put in/on their hair and the ways in which they manipulate it?
If so, we’d love to have you as a Thrive Hair Bar’s dermatology intern!
We’re looking for someone who is passionate about disrupting the American beauty standard, who is passionate about helping people better understand their hair, and who will be comfortable with constantly adapting to a rapidly evolving work environment by helping Thrive Hair Bar with product experimentation, hair and scalp analysis, staying on top of the latest research in trichology, and designing and executing experiments.
