Licensed Salon Manager

About the Role

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. As the "CEO" of your salon, you’ll be the primary driver of growth, profitability, and vibe. You aren’t just managing a schedule; you’re mentoring the next generation of top-tier Salon Professionals.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Qualifications

• Must have a cosmetology license in the state you are applying for.
• Must be eligible to work in the United States.
• Minimum of 12 months in a prior Leadership role preferred.
• 40 hours per week (5 days/8 hours per day) is the standard.
• Physical stamina to stand, walk, and perform repetitive salon motions (dexterity is key!) throughout your shift.
• Ability to work comfortably in a salon environment with exposure to hair chemicals, scents, and fumes.
• Basic math skills for cash/inventory and a commitment to attending all required training and events.

Skills

• 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.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Life insurance
• PTO/vacation

Pay

Your pay is based on performance, not just experience. Whether you're starting out or a seasoned pro, you can grow your earnings through service and retail commissions and tips. All compensation meets wage law requirements.
