About The Position

Run the floor of an established children’s salon with real autonomy, a present and invested owner as your partner, and earnings that go well beyond base pay. This is a hands-on manager role at a growing kids’ salon with a built-in client base from day one, a clear schedule, and a compensation model built around the work you do behind the chair. You are the first person a family sees when they walk in, and the person who keeps everything behind the door running the way it should. Sit Still Kids Salon is a franchise brand built around making the salon experience genuinely enjoyable for kids and their families. The Smithfield location is part of a growing two-salon Rhode Island franchise, owned and actively operated by an owner who is present, invested, and serious about building a team that stays. You will have real autonomy on the floor, a clear partnership with ownership, and an established client base from day one.
