Job description

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
