Great Clips•Manhattan, KS

12d

About The Position

Join a locally owned Great Clips salon team and build real-world salon experience while enrolled in school. The Hair Stylist Intern role is designed for cosmetology and barber students who want to learn about salon life, connect with a professional team, and prepare for a transition into a licensed stylist role after graduation. The opportunity is intended for motivated students who want to develop their skills in a supportive salon environment. Internship experiences may include exposure to salon operations, customer service, teamwork, and salon systems, tools, and technology. Interns may observe and support haircutting and finishing techniques as allowed by state regulations. Responsibilities, schedules, and program structures vary by location because individual Great Clips salon organizations create and manage their own programs. Most interns observe, assist, and learn rather than perform full services. Compensation, if offered, varies by salon organization and is discussed during the interview process. Employment after graduation is not guaranteed. T&M Enterprise Inc is a Great Clips franchise with 10 salons in northeast Kansas. The company describes guaranteed base pay and says its stylists average $20–$40 per hour and up, along with benefits and incentives. The posting does not specify whether these compensation details apply to interns.
