Assistant Salon Manager

$32 - $42 per hour

Alice's Crossing

Assistant Salon Manager Opportunity

Join your locally owned Great Clips® salon team and take the next step in your career. If you're a licensed stylist who enjoys supporting others, staying organized, and helping a team succeed, this could be the leadership opportunity you've been looking for. Whether you're ready to grow into management or want more responsibility while staying behind the chair, we're excited to meet you. Hey future icon Great Clips is hiring an Assistant Manager and we're not talking boring clipboard energy — we're talking lead the squad, run the vibe, get paid well energy. We're offering $32–$42/hr (yes, actually), plus built-in clientele so you're not starting from zero. Add in product perks, legit benefits, and real growth opportunities? Yeah. It's giving career glow-up. We're not just another salon. We've got 20 locations, a solid support system, top-tier training, and a team that actually feels like a team.

Why you'll love it here Great Clips salons give Assistant Salon Managers the opportunity to do what you love, along with the tools, training, and support to lead with confidence:

  • Great, reliable hourly wage plus tips
  • Flexible scheduling with dependable retail hours
  • Job stability and a steady flow of customers driven by the marketing of the largest hair salon brand in the world — no self-marketing to find clients, booth rent or hidden fees, and no appointments required
  • Potential for promotions to management, career growth, and recognition for great performance
  • Exclusive discounts on professional salon tools and products
  • Training and development to help you grow into management
  • The opportunity to support and motivate a team of stylists while continuing to cut hair
  • Skill training, one-on-one technical coaching, and ongoing development through Great Clips University (GCU)
  • Innovative salon technology — like Online Check-In and the Great Clips App — that helps take care of the busy work so you can focus on what you love most: delivering great haircuts
  • A team environment where stylists help each other succeed
  • Consistent income you can count on — without upselling pressure, commission stress, or competition for walk-ins
  • Employee offerings like medical benefits and paid time off (PTO) may be available at certain locations

What you bring to the team To join a Great Clips salon team as an Assistant Salon Manager, you'll need:

  • A valid Cosmetology and/or Barber License (requirements vary by state/province)
  • Strong technical haircutting skills and great customer service
  • A team-first mindset with a desire to encourage and support others
  • Clear communication skills and a positive, motivating attitude
  • Organization, flexibility, and the desire to help keep the salon running smoothly
  • An interest in growing your leadership skills and taking on more responsibility

Who we are As the world's largest salon brand, with over 4,400 locally owned and operated salons across the U.S. and Canada, Great Clips combines strong brand recognition, marketing, and support with a close-knit, team-oriented culture. We're passionate about cutting hair and providing great value for the whole family. Talented teams of skilled professionals, along with convenient hours and a great haircut experience, set us apart in our communities.

FAQ

  • Q: Do I need management experience to apply? A: Not always. Many Assistant Salon Managers grow into the role from a stylist position. An interest in leadership and supporting others is just as important as prior experience.
  • Q: Will I still be cutting hair in this role? A: Yes. This role combines cutting hair with supporting daily salon operations and helping the team succeed.
  • Q: Is this a leadership role with growth opportunities? A: Yes. The Assistant Salon Manager role is often a stepping stone toward Salon Manager or other leadership positions.
  • Q: What kind of training is provided for Assistant Salon Managers? A: Assistant Salon Managers receive training in management and operations through Great Clips University (GCU), along with ongoing support and instruction from salon management.
