I applied online. I interviewed at Beauty Solutions (San Jose, CA)
Interview
I applied online, I had four interviews total. First was over the phone, second in person, another over the phone, and then the final was in person with one of the owners.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard sales questions, they have you ask a few local salons some questions
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Beauty Solutions in Nov 2025
Interview
I went through five interviews. The first four were genuinely great I connected well with both management teams and felt positive about the role. However, my final interview with one of the owners, Minda, was a very different experience. She came across as judgmental and somewhat condescending, and it left me with the impression that she is not the type of leader I would want to work for.
Ultimately, they chose not to move forward with me due to what they considered a “lack of outside sales experience,” which I found surprising given my 15 years in the beauty industry. At the end of the day, we’re talking about selling shampoo and conditioner, not luxury yachts, so the emphasis on that specific experience felt misplaced.
Based on my interactions and the overall tone of the process, I personally would not recommend working for this company. My impression is that employees may not be treated with the level of respect and leadership they deserve.

Question 1
They asked fairly standard sales questions and went through my resume. They focused heavily on sales performance, which I understand, but at the end of the day we’re selling shampoo, not Ferraris. I felt the questions were a bit more intense than necessary for the nature of the product
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Beauty Solutions (Santa Cruz, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
The interviewer did not even show up for the initial interview and texted me an hour later saying that that she got caught up. The second time she texted 10 mins before and bumped it back half an hour. After the unprofessionalism from the get go I had no desire to work for this company. After reading others reviews it sounds like I dodged a bullet. Get your act together. No wonder you keep losing lines of products.

Question 1
I did not interview with them after their failure to be in time twice.
