Weekend Hair Stylist

Great Clips•Highland, IL

About The Position

Great Clips salons are typically busiest Friday through Sunday, offering a steady flow of customers, opportunities to earn tips, and a high-energy team salon environment. The role is intended for weekend shifts, with competitive base wages and bonus incentives; stylists may average $20–$45 per hour. The salon provides an existing customer base, so stylists do not need to build their own clientele. This is a flexible, part-time role with dependable retail hours and the opportunity to pick up additional shifts, subject to availability. Stylists receive skill training, one-on-one technical coaching, and ongoing development through Great Clips University. Salons offer team support, salon technology, and a steady stream of customers without self-marketing, booth rent, hidden fees, appointment management, upselling pressure, commission stress, or competition for walk-ins. Medical benefits and paid time off may be available at some locations and may depend on hours worked. Great Clips salons are independently owned and operated by franchisees, who are responsible for hiring and employment matters.
