About the Role

As the Assistant Salon Leader (ASL), you'll serve as the "Right Hand" to the Salon Leader—keeping the energy high, guests happy, and the team on track. When the Salon Leader is out, you're the captain of the ship. This role lets you keep your creative edge behind the chair while gaining business and leadership experience.

What You'll Love About This Role

  • The Best of Both Worlds: Keep your creative edge behind the chair while gaining business and leadership skills.
  • Be the Ultimate Hype-Person: Mentor the team, lead by example with the Guest Journey, and keep the salon's culture positive and productive.
  • Master the Business: Learn the why behind the what—dive into performance stats, help with strategic scheduling, and learn how to run a profitable salon.
  • The "Smart Start" Expert: Play a key role in welcoming new talent, helping them onboard, and showing them what it means to be part of the Hair Cuttery family.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the Floor: Support daily operations, from managing the appointment book in Zenoti to ensuring every guest leaves happy.
  • Coach & Mentor: Use the IGROW model to help fellow stylists hit their goals and grow their careers.
  • Keep it Clean & Compliant: Help ensure the salon meets all State Board and OSHA standards.
  • Marketing Pro: Help execute local partnerships and digital campaigns to keep chairs full and the brand buzzing.

Requirements

  • The License: Current Cosmetology license for the state where you're applying.
  • The Commitment: Full-time leadership role (minimum 40 hours per week).
  • The Hustle: Physical stamina to stand for long periods and dexterity to perform all salon services with precision.
  • The Skills: Previous leadership experience is a plus, but a great attitude, basic math skills (for inventory/cash), and stellar communication are non-negotiable.
  • The Gear: Bring your personal equipment daily.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • Life insurance
  • Paid time off / vacation
