Job description

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.
• 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.
