Why this job is different:

• Just kids' cuts. No chemicals, no color. Clean, fast haircuts in a salon built around making kids smile.
• Fun environment. Themed chairs, Xboxes, streaming — the kind of place kids ask their parents to bring them back to.
• Family-friendly hours. No late nights. Major holidays off.
• Instant tips via Tippy. Tips hit your account the moment the client pays — individual, never pooled.
• Supportive ownership. Local owners who actually want to hear what you have to say.

What you'll do:

• Provide kids' haircuts in a fun environment
