Area Manager

Join your locally owned Great Clips® salon organization in a leadership role that blends hands-on salon management with multi-salon oversight. As an Area Manager, you'll directly manage one salon while also supporting and coaching a team of Salon Managers across a small group of additional locations. This role is ideal for an experienced salon or multi-unit leader who enjoys developing managers, maintaining strong brand standards, and driving consistent performance across teams.

Great Clips salons give Area Managers the opportunity to lead at both the salon and organizational levels while staying closely connected to day-to-day operations. Competitive compensation, potential for recognition for great performance and team success, exclusive discounts on professional salon tools and products, ongoing leadership development and training opportunities, the opportunity to develop leaders, strengthen culture, and improve performance, the ability to make a visible, measurable impact across multiple teams, clear brand standards, systems, and operational support, innovative salon technology, including Online Check-In and the Great Clips App, and employee offerings like medical benefits and paid time off (PTO) may be available at certain locations.

To succeed as an Area Manager in a Great Clips salon organization, you'll need previous salon management experience or multi-unit retail management experience, a valid Cosmetology and/or Barber License (requirements vary by state/province), the desire and ability to manage a salon's daily operations while motivating and supporting other Salon Managers, strong leadership, coaching, and communication skills, experience identifying performance gaps and implementing improvement plans, flexibility to work across multiple salon locations within the surrounding area, and commitment to collaboration and accountability with a focus on proactively seeking solutions to challenges.
