Assistant Salon Manager
About The Position
Join a locally owned Great Clips salon team as an Assistant Salon Manager. This role combines cutting hair with supporting daily salon operations and helping the team succeed. You will encourage and motivate stylists, help keep the salon organized and running smoothly, and develop your leadership skills. Great Clips University (GCU) provides management and operations training, along with ongoing support and instruction from salon management. Prior management experience is not always required; many assistant managers grow into the position from a stylist role. The posting describes SSGC as offering a supportive, team-oriented environment with kind, passionate, and fun-loving stylists. Salons provide a steady flow of customers supported by Great Clips marketing, and salon technology such as Online Check-In and the Great Clips App helps reduce administrative work. The listed compensation is $25–$30 per hour, based on experience, including base pay, commission, bonuses, and tips. Benefits listed for SSGC include health insurance, long-term life insurance, paid holidays, and PTO; benefit availability may vary by location.
