About The Position

Frenchies Smyrna is seeking a hands-on Working Salon Manager to grow memberships and improve new and repeat guest retention while coaching the team to achieve the same goals. The position combines about 25 hours of management work each week with about 15 hours at the front desk or providing nail services. Management work includes leading and training the team, managing the salon schedule, driving local marketing, and growing memberships and retention. Managers who are not nail technicians work the front desk, checking guests in and out, selling memberships, and rebooking guests. Licensed nail technicians may provide services during those hours and earn service pay plus tips in addition to salary, while covering the front desk as needed.

Frenchies is a clean, modern, nails-only studio focused on guest and team health. The salon emphasizes cleanliness and sterilization beyond industry standards, does not offer acrylic nails or use jetted tubs, and provides a fun, professional environment. The role offers a base salary of $40,000–$45,000 plus a monthly bonus; the posting states compensation of $40,000–$50,000 per year and notes top performers earn $50,000 or more.
