Join your locally owned Great Clips salon organization in a senior leadership role focused on people, performance, and long-term success. As a General Manager, you'll provide strategic oversight for multiple salons by leading, coaching, and developing Area Managers and Salon Managers to deliver brand standards, build strong teams, and achieve consistent business results.

This role is ideal for an experienced multi-unit leader who enjoys building leadership capability, improving operations at scale, and helping teams reach their full potential.

We're looking for a strategic, people-focused General Manager with Great Clips multi-unit experience managing four or more salons. You'll mentor Area and Salon Managers, lead operations across multiple markets, and drive both team and business growth.

  • Strategic partnership with ownership to support growth, profitability, and culture
  • The ability to identify trends, address challenges, and implement improvement plans across salons
  • A role with meaningful influence on team experience, customer experience, and business results
  • Ongoing leadership development and professional growth opportunities

Employee offerings like medical benefits and paid time off (PTO) may be available at certain locations.

What you bring to the team

To succeed as a General Manager in a Great Clips salon organization, you'll need:

  • Proven retail or multi-unit management experience
  • Strong leadership, coaching, and people development skills

About Great Clips

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Great Clips, Inc. was established in Minneapolis, Minnesota by founders David Rubenzer and Steve Lemmon in 1982, a time when most people received haircuts in one of three ways: in full-service hair salons, from barbershops or at home. As a stylist and businessman, David could see that the industry was changing. Customers were looking for a hair salon service that could fit their busy lifestyles and desire for value. To be part of that change – rather than find themselves competing with it – David and Steve developed the then-radical concept of a walk-in haircare salon with weekend and evening hours, offering customers a select list of services, and providing benefits for stylists. After the founders opened several successful hair salons, Ray Barton joined David and Steve as an owner in March 1983. With Ray's help and expertise in franchising, the trio set about growing the Great Clips hair salon brand. That success continues through today.
