Job description

Join your locally owned Great Clips® salon team and enjoy the freedom to do what you love in a supportive, welcoming environment. Whether you’re an experienced stylist, a recent graduate, or someone looking for flexible hours alongside other commitments, we’d love to meet you.

Still love doing hair, but full‑time isn’t right for you? Bring your cosmetology license back to work with a part‑time position at Great Clips. It’s a great fit for stylists who have stepped away from the industry or need more balance in their schedule. We’ll work with your availability to build schedules for the needs of the salon, ensuring you can maximize your earnings. Enjoy busy shifts, consistent walk‑in traffic, customer connections, and average earnings of $25–$30/hr + 401(k) match and paid education.

Why you’ll love it here

Great Clips salons give you everything you need to succeed:

• Great, reliable hourly wage plus tips
• Part‑time hours with flexible scheduling and dependable retail hours
• Skill training, one‑on‑one technical coaching, and ongoing development through Great Clips University (GCU)
• Job stability and a steady flow of customers driven by the marketing of the largest hair salon brand in the world — no self‑marketing to find clients, booth rent or hidden fees, and no appointments required
• A team environment where stylists help each other succeed, with opportunities to grow if you want more hours in the future
• Exclusive discounts on professional salon tools and products
• Innovative salon technology — like Online Check‑In and the Great Clips App — that helps take care of the busy work so you can focus on what you love most: delivering great haircuts
• Consistent income you can count on — without upselling pressure, commission stress, or competition for walk‑ins

Employee offerings like medical benefits and paid time off (PTO) may be available at certain locations.

What you bring to the team

• A desire to listen and make a difference through excellent customer service and genuine connections
• A team‑oriented attitude and desire to contribute to a great team culture
