Licensed Salon Manager

About the role

Hair Cuttery is looking for a Salon Manager who is part coach, part entrepreneur, and 100% a culture-shaper. As the "CEO" of your salon, you'll be the primary driver of growth, profitability, and vibe—mentoring the next generation of top-tier Salon Professionals.

What You'll Do

• Be a Talent Scout: Hunt for the best stylists, 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 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 energy high.

Skills

• Leadership Spark: Ability to motivate a team, handle tough conversations with grace, and keep spirits high during a Saturday rush.
• Business Savvy: Comfortable with numbers—from managing payroll percentages to analyzing performance scorecards.
• Technical Skill: Pro behind the chair, performing services and modeling established hair guides.
• Communication Mastery: Skilled in one-on-one "Personal Development Meetings" and internal communications.

Benefits
