Assistant Salon Manager

Ready to Lead the Vibe?

Are you a talented Stylist with a knack for leadership? Do you love being behind the chair but find yourself naturally helping others grow? If you're ready to take your first big step into management without hanging up your shears, the Assistant Salon Leader (ASL) role at Hair Cuttery is calling your name.

As the "Right Hand" to the Salon Leader, you'll be the heartbeat of the shop—keeping the energy high, the guests happy, and the team on track. When the Salon Leader is out, you're the captain of the ship!

Why You'll Love This Role:

  • The Best of Both Worlds: You get to keep your creative edge "behind the chair" while gaining serious business and leadership chops.
  • Be the Ultimate Hype-Person: You'll help mentor the team, lead by example with the "Guest Journey," and keep the salon's culture positive and productive.
  • Master the Business: Learn the "why" behind the "what." You'll dive into performance stats, help with strategic scheduling, and learn how to run a profitable salon.
  • The "Smart Start" Expert: You'll play a huge role in welcoming new talent, helping them onboard, and showing them what it means to be part of the Hair Cuttery family.

What Your Day-to-Day Looks Like:

  • Lead the Floor: Support daily operations, from managing the appointment book in Zenoti to ensuring every guest leaves feeling like a million bucks.
  • Coach & Mentor: Use the IGROW model to help fellow stylists hit their goals and grow their careers.
  • Keep it Clean & Compliant: You'll help ensure the salon meets all State Board and OSHA standards—because a safe salon is a successful salon.
  • Marketing Pro: Help execute local partnerships and digital campaigns to keep those chairs full and the brand buzzing.

The "Must-Haves" (Requirements):

  • The License: You must have a current Cosmetology license for the state where you're applying.
  • The Commitment: This is a full-time leadership role (minimum 40 hours per week).
  • The Hustle: You'll need the physical stamina to stand for long periods and the dexterity to perform all salon services with precision.
  • The Skills: Previous leadership experience is a plus, but a great attitude, basic math skills (for inventory/cash), and stellar communication are non-negotiable.
  • The Gear: Bring your personal equipment daily and be ready to rock!

Why Join Us as an Assistant Salon Manager?

We don't just offer a job; we offer a path. Whether you want to eventually lead your own salon or become a master educator, the ASL role is the perfect launchpad. We also offer benefits, such as medical, dental, and vision, as well as 401 (k), life insurance, PTO/vacation, and more.
