Job Description
Are You Our Next Salon Legend? (Salon Leader)
Do you have a passion for hair, a head for business, and a heart for leading people? At Hair Cuttery, we don't just cut hair—we craft careers and create confidence. We are looking for a Salon Leader (SL) 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.
What You'll Do (The Fun Stuff):
- 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.
What You Bring to the Chair:
- 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.
The Nitty-Gritty (Position Requirements):
- License: Must have a cosmetology license in the state you are applying for.
- Work Authorization: Must be eligible to work in the United States.
- Experience: Minimum of 12 months in a prior Leadership role preferred.
- Availability: 40 hours per week (5 days/8 hours per day) is the standard.
- The Hustle: You'll need the physical stamina to stand, walk, and perform repetitive salon motions (dexterity is key!) throughout your shift.
- Safety First: You can work comfortably in a salon environment with exposure to hair chemicals, scents, and fumes.
- The Basics: Basic math skills for cash/inventory and a commitment to attending all required training and events.
Why Join Us?
We offer a path to growth, a supportive leadership team (you'll report to a District Leader who has your back), and the chance to lead a business that truly impacts people's lives. We also offer benefits, such as medical, dental, and vision, as well as 401 (k), life insurance, PTO/vacation, and more.
Legal Note: Salon Leaders must be able to perform the Essential Job Functions satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions. This job description is a living document—as our business grows and evolves, your duties may too!
