About the Role

As the Assistant Salon Leader (ASL), you serve as the "Right Hand" to the Salon Leader, keeping the energy high, guests happy, and the team on track. This role allows you to maintain your creative edge behind the chair while gaining business and leadership experience. When the Salon Leader is out, you take full leadership of the salon.

Why You'll Love This Role

  • Best of Both Worlds: Keep your creative edge behind the chair while gaining serious business and leadership experience.
  • Be the Ultimate Hype-Person: Mentor the team, lead by example with the "Guest Journey," and maintain a positive, productive salon culture.
  • Master the Business: Learn the "why" behind the "what"—dive into performance stats, strategic scheduling, and learn how to run a profitable salon.
  • "Smart Start" Expert: Play a major 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 and support daily operations, from managing the appointment book in Zenoti to ensuring every guest leaves satisfied.
  • Coach and mentor fellow stylists using the IGROW model to help them hit goals and grow their careers.
  • Ensure the salon meets all State Board and OSHA standards for safety and compliance.
  • Help execute local partnerships and digital marketing campaigns to keep chairs full and the brand buzzing.

Requirements

  • Current Cosmetology license for the state where you are applying.
  • Full-time commitment: minimum 40 hours per week.
  • Physical stamina to stand for long periods and dexterity to perform all salon services with precision.
  • Previous leadership experience is a plus, but a great attitude, basic math skills (for inventory and cash handling), and strong communication are required.
  • Must bring personal equipment daily.

Benefits

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