• Quarterly performance bonus: up to $7,000 annually
• Total earning potential: $60,000–$70,000+ per year

As Salon Manager at our Temecula location, you are the leader of the floor. You set the tone, hold the team accountable, and ensure every client has a consistent, exceptional experience. You report directly to the District Manager and are supported by a full operational system, you are not left to figure it out alone.

• Drive location revenue, rebooking rates, and retail performance
• Hold daily and weekly team accountability using our performance framework

We are not looking for the best stylist in the room. We are looking for the best leader.

• 2+ years of experience in a salon environment (management or senior stylist level)
• A track record of holding yourself and others accountable to results
• Comfort having direct, coaching conversations with team members
• Strong communication and follow-through — you finish what you start
• A client-first mindset that sets the standard for the whole floor
• Coachable and systems-oriented — you adopt the playbook and improve it
• Ambition to grow within a company that is actively expanding

Real Systems — You won't be guessing. We have SOPs, scorecards, weekly ops calls, and a performance framework that tells you exactly what success looks like.

Real Compensation — Most salon manager roles top out at hourly pay. Ours includes tips, a 401(k), and a quarterly performance bonus on top of a competitive base wage.

Real Growth — We are building toward multiple locations. Managers who perform will have opportunities to grow as the company grows, including District Manager level roles.

Real Leadership — You report to an owner who is actively invested in your development. Monthly 1:1s, clear goals, and a manager growth track are already built.
