Earn While You Learn & Protection of Intellectual Property *
The Lux Lox Artists’ Residency is an earn-while-you-learn program. Most Residents begin offering paid services about 25% of the way into the program after meeting required technical and timing benchmarks—so you can begin earning while you train.
Residents may work in other salons during the program. To protect the integrity of the curriculum and methods, all participants sign Lux Lox Salon’s Confidentiality & Outside-Work Acknowledgment (California). This agreement defines Confidential Information (curriculum, KPIs, scripts, SOPs, client/model data, templates, etc.), clarifies outside-work boundaries (no use or disclosure of Lux Lox confidential materials or leads outside authorized program activities), preserves trade secret protections, and provides for injunctive relief and other remedies for breach. It also includes the DTSA whistleblower notice and wage/working-conditions protections.
You get world-class training and early earnings, while we safeguard the systems that make the program so effective.
This webpage summarizes our confidentiality obligations, the signed agreement controls.
Protection Against Third-Party Misuse
Lux Lox Salon’s training methods, curriculum, systems, and materials are protected under California trade secret law and the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. § 1836 et seq.).
Any salon, business, or individual that knowingly induces, solicits, misappropriates, or otherwise participates in the unauthorized use, reproduction, or disclosure of Lux Lox Salon’s protected materials may be subject to injunctive relief and other remedies under applicable law. This includes, without limitation:
Recruiting or encouraging a Resident to share Lux Lox training materials, systems, or internal resources.
Replicating, distributing, or implementing program content without written permission.
Using confidential information obtained from a Resident or former Resident.
Lux Lox Salon will seek injunctive relief and all other available remedies against any party—including outside salons—that violates or induces a violation of these protections.
Ethical partnerships are welcome. IP “theft” is not.
Why There’s a Cost (and Why It’s Worth It)
The Artists’ Residency is our way of giving back to the beauty industry—not a profit center. Our master stylists, who typically earn $700–$1,000+ per day, dedicate a full business day each week to education and spend personal time mentoring Residents, reviewing work, and supporting your growth.
The program also requires a dedicated administrator to coordinate scheduling, communications, model bookings, and progress tracking throughout the 36-week cohort—so you get the structure, mentorship, and accountability most assistant roles lack.
We intentionally keep per-class costs as low as possible to remain inclusive for stylists building their careers (often while working part-time). The Residency is designed to be flexible, fitting around your at-home schedule so you can train without financial strain.
Your tuition directly supports:
Time and expertise from top-earning stylists who mentor you 1:1.
Program administration that keeps you on track.
Access to live clients, proven systems, portfolio development, and brand-building support.
