Salon Manager – Lead, Motivate & Grow with Great Clips

Great Clips is looking for an experienced Salon Manager who’s ready to lead a talented team, keep a busy salon running smoothly, and create an environment where both stylists and customers feel welcome.

We’re seeking a proven leader with at least 2 years of salon management experience who understands what it takes to succeed in a fast-paced, select-service salon focused on haircutting . You’ll oversee day-to-day salon operations, coach and develop your team, drive salon performance, and spend time behind the chair connecting with customers.

The right candidate is a hands-on leader who can set the tone for the salon, keep the team motivated, and confidently manage the demands of a high-volume environment.

If you’re ready to bring your leadership experience to a team where you can make an impact and continue growing your career, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, motivate, and develop a team of stylists

• Manage day-to-day salon operations in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

• Stay active behind the chair while effectively balancing management responsibilities

• Maintain the speed, quality, and customer experience expected in a select-service haircutting salon

• Drive salon performance, productivity, and team goals

• Support recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, and retention

• Create a positive, professional, and energetic salon culture

• Identify challenges quickly and confidently implement solutions

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2 years of previous salon management experience required

• Experience successfully leading a team in a fast-paced salon environment

• Comfortable working in a select-service model focused primarily on haircutting

• Strong leadership, coaching, and communication skills

• Confident technical skills and willingness to work behind the chair

• Ability to manage multiple priorities while keeping the salon running efficiently

• Organized, dependable, adaptable, and solution-oriented

• Goal-driven with a strong understanding of team performance and accountability

• Passion for developing stylists and creating an environment where people want to work

What You’ll Get

• Leadership training and ongoing professional development

• Performance-based incentives and recognition

• Immediate customer base,  no need to build a book from scratch

• Career growth opportunities within a trusted, established brand

• Supportive ownership and leadership invested in your success

• Medical Insurance with competitive employer contribution

• Dental & Vision Coverage

• 401(k) with Employer Match

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

• Paid Time Off (PTO)

• Holiday Pay

Why This Role Stands Out

• Take ownership of a busy salon and lead an established team

• Work in a streamlined, haircut-focused environment

• No client building, step into a salon with a steady flow of customers

• Continue doing what you love behind the chair while growing as a leader

• Develop your team and directly impact salon performance

• Build your career with a brand that values strong leadership and promotes growth

Ready to Lead?

If you have proven salon management experience, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and know how to lead a team while delivering an exceptional haircutting experience, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and take the next step in your leadership career with Great Clips.
