About The Position

Join a locally owned Great Clips salon as an Assistant Salon Manager. This leadership role combines cutting hair with supporting daily salon operations, encouraging and motivating stylists, and helping the team succeed. It may suit a licensed stylist who is ready to grow into management or take on more responsibility while continuing to work behind the chair. Prior management experience is not always required; an interest in leadership and supporting others is important. Training in management and operations is provided through Great Clips University (GCU), with ongoing support and instruction from salon management.
