As a teaching salon, Tease Hair Boutique is proud to hire recently licensed stylists into the Associate Program, where they’ll gain hands-on experience while learning from some of the best. The program typically runs for 6-12 months, giving ambitious stylists with a passion for hair the opportunity to perfect their skills and learn new techniques. At the end of the program, associates are given the opportunity to join the Tease Hair Boutique team as a level one stylist.
“It’s one of my favorite stages to watch,” says Heather Silva, owner of Tease Hair Boutique and creator of the Associate Program, “as our associates earn their Level One status, the transition always brings a new found confidence and strengths. It’s a big shift in growth career wise, as well as personally.”
Leveling up is no easy feat, and it takes hard work, dedication, and an open mindset to complete the associate program and get behind the chair as a Level One stylist. This month, we are proud to announce two members of the Tease Hair Boutique Associate Program who have officially leveled up!
Caitlin Figgins - Level One Stylist
Caitlin joined the Tease Hair Boutique team in Spring 2022 and has worked diligently as an Associate, learning new skills and perfecting her techniques as a stylist. A graduate of Toni and Guy Academy in Braintree, Caitlin deeply enjoys getting to know her clients and the variety that comes with each new day.
“I enjoy the education program at Tease and the fact that moving up in the program is in my hands,” says Caitlin, “it’s truly up to me how far I take my career and I love that!”
Caitlin is a member of Behind the Chair, a community for stylists to collaborate and learn from each other, through which she has taken countless classes and received numerous certifications. She is also certified in Brazilian Blowout and Keratin Complex, specializing in cutting techniques and deeply enjoying an opportunity to work with fashion colors and creating lived-in looks with balayage. She also deeply enjoys the art of extensions, mentioning this is one of her favorite services to provide..
“I love building a relationship with each new client, and the ability to put a smile on their face after I make them feel beautiful and listened to.” Says Caitlin, “The one on one part of the Associate program was very unique and tailored to my learning style. Sue and the Tease Hair Boutique team helped shape me into the stylist I am today!”

Hallie Molineaux - Level One Stylist
Like Caitlin, Hallie completed her training at Toni & Guy Academy before gaining experience in the field at two local salons and finally joining the Tease Hair Boutique Associate program in Summer 2022. With a lifelong dream of becoming a stylist, Hallie was attracted to the educational elements of the Associate program that allowed her to gain more hands-on experience and learn from some of the best.
“I have always known I wanted to be a stylist,” says Hallie, “even as a kid I was always doing everyone’s hair and makeup.”
Hallie is certified in both Brazilian Blowout and Barbicide, and she specializes in blonde services, deeply enjoying lightening services and styling opportunities. When asked why she wanted to become a stylist, Hallie tells Tease that she loves making people feel confident and beautiful.
“I loved the Associate program. It gave me a deeper knowledge of my trade, as well as an understanding of what goes into everyday salon life.” says Hallie.
