Salon Manager

Are You Our Next Salon Legend?

Do you have a passion for hair, a head for business, and a heart for leading people as a beauty salon manager? At Hair Cuttery, we don't just cut hair-we craft careers and create confidence. We are looking for a Salon Manager who is part coach, part entrepreneur, and 100% a culture-shaper.

As the "CEO" of your salon, you'll be the primary driver of growth, profitability, and vibe. You aren't just managing a schedule; you're mentoring the next generation of top-tier Salon Professionals.

What You'll Do (The Fun Stuff):
  • Be a Talent Scout: Hunt for the best stylists in the business, partner with local beauty schools, and build a "dream team" that people want to join.
  • Master the "Guest Journey": Lead by example behind the chair, showing your team how to turn a first-time guest into a lifelong fan.
  • Grow Your Empire: Use data and digital tools (like our Stylist App and Zenoti) to crush your sales goals, maximize your schedule, and boost your salon's reputation.
  • Be the Ultimate Mentor: Use the IGROW model to help your associates level up their careers. You're not just a boss; you're a career-launcher.
  • Set the Stage: Ensure your salon is a safe, clean, and inspiring place to work-adhering to State Board and OSHA standards while keeping the energy high.

What You Bring to the Chair:
  • Leadership Spark: You know how to motivate a team, handle tough conversations with grace, and keep spirits high during a Saturday rush.
  • Business Savvy: You're comfortable with numbers-from managing payroll percentages to analyzing performance scorecards.
  • Technical Skill: You're a pro behind the chair! You'll still be performing services and modeling our established hair guides.
  • Communication Mastery: Whether it's a one-on-one "Personal Development Meeting" or a shout-out on our internal social channels, you know how to get the message across.

The Nitty-Gritty (Position Requirements):
  • License: Must have a cosmetology license in the state you are applying for.
  • Work Authorization: Must be eligible to work in the United States.
  • Experience: Minimum of 12 months in a prior Leadership role preferred.
  • Availability: 40 hours per week (5 days/8 hours per day) is the standard.
  • The Hustle: You'll need the physical stamina to stand, walk, and perform repetitive salon motions (dexterity is key!) throughout your shift.
  • Safety First: You can work comfortably in a salon environment with exposure to hair chemicals, scents, and fumes.
  • The Basics: Basic math skills for cash/inventory and a commitment to attending all required training and events.

Why Join Us as a Salon Manager?

We offer a path to growth, a supportive leadership team (you'll report to a District Leader who has your back), and the chance to lead a business that truly impacts people's lives. We also offer benefits, such as medical, dental, and vision, as well as 401 (k), life insurance, PTO/vacation, and more.

Legal Note: Salon Leaders must be able to perform the Essential Job Functions satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions. This job description is a living document-as our business grows and evolves, your duties may too!
