Lake Tahoe’s work culture isn’t just about clocking in — it’s about finding a place that supports productivity, creativity and community. Whether you’re plotting spreadsheets or planning client events, the right workplace environment adds purpose to every project. The Best of Tahoe highlights several standout local employers where inspiration and co-working collide.
Sessions Salon has been a mainstay since the late 1980s, born out of a glam-era passion for fashion and culture. Over the decades, it has grown into a full-service beauty haven — haircuts, color, bridal styling, nails and wellness are all under one roof. A 2,000-square-foot space with 14 staff helps guests feel like family. It’s also a place of mentorship — founders Phil and La Donna trained dozens of stylists, and current owner Kelly continues that legacy with an educational, empowering approach.
While best known as one of Lake Tahoe’s premier ski resorts, Sierra‑at‑Tahoe also brings robust workplace perks. With more than 2,000 skiable acres and 10 chairlifts, it’s a workplace built on momentum — innovation, teamwork and adaptability. The resort’s history of resilience—relocating in 1968, rebuilding after the Caldor Fire, joining the Ikon Pass — has created a team culture rooted in community and endurance. Staff learn to deliver great service in shifting conditions, pushing value and guest satisfaction to the forefront.
