TONI&GUY Harrogate

Salary plus tips - Employment: Full-time

We are looking for an experienced hairdresser to join TONI&GUY Harrogate as our new Assistant Salon Manager and Colour Specialist.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants more than a busy column. You will play an important role in the daily running of the salon, support and motivate the team, and help us shape the next chapter of the business.

Our Harrogate salon is undergoing a full refurbishment in January 2027. We are looking for someone who wants to grow with us, lead a talented and friendly team, and help create a salon that clients and colleagues genuinely enjoy being part of.

The role

You will combine working with your own clients as a colour technician and stylist with assistant management responsibilities.

• Delivering exceptional colour, cutting and styling services
• Building and maintaining a loyal clientele
• Supporting the daily running of the salon
• Leading and motivating the team alongside the Franchisee

• Enjoys developing and encouraging other people
• Takes pride in delivering an outstanding client experience

You may already be TONI&GUY trained, but this is not essential. If you have the right experience, technical ability and attitude, we can train you to TONI&GUY cutting, styling and colour standards.

What we offer

• A genuine assistant management position with the opportunity to influence the salon's future
• The chance to help lead an established and supportive team
• Intensive in-salon education and development
• Access to training at the TONI&GUY Academies in London and Manchester
• The highly regarded TONI&GUY Vardering colour programme
