Peyton Company Great Clips- Area Manager

Full-Time | Multiple Salon Locations

Are you a hands-on salon leader who loves developing people and driving results? The Peyton Company, a Great Clips franchise, is looking for an experienced Area Manager to lead a group of 3-4 salons. This is a great fit for someone who wants ownership over their own territory, enjoys staying connected to the floor, and is ready to build strong teams and strong numbers.

What You'll Do

• Oversee and support 3-4 salons, taking full ownership of staffing, scheduling, and day-to-day operations
• Lead, coach, and develop salon managers — setting clear expectations, holding regular check-ins, and conducting performance reviews
• Recruit, hire, and retain great managers and stylists; build a pipeline of future leaders
• Step in and work the floor when a salon is short on management coverage
• Conduct monthly salon visits and quality-control reviews covering service, sanitation,
  staffing, and brand standards
• Coach your teams on the 5 Steps to Delivering GREAT and Great Clips technical and service
  standards
• Dig into the numbers — customer counts, CPH, payroll, sales, and retail — and build action
  plans to close gaps
• Build schedules that control payroll while keeping wait times low and coverage strong,
  including evenings and weekends
• Handle customer and employee concerns quickly, fairly, and professionally
• Keep every salon compliant with company policy, HR practices, and safety/sanitation
  standards
• Lead team meetings, share best practices across salons, and champion customer loyalty
  and retail growth
  

What We're Looking For

• Active cosmetology or barber license, as required by your state
• Proven experience leading a salon or multiple salons, with a track record of developing
  people and hitting business goals
• Strong leadership, coaching, and communication skills, with the ability to hold people
  accountable while keeping the culture positive
• Solid grasp of salon operations — scheduling, staffing, payroll, inventory, and key metrics
• Comfortable working with salon technology and POS systems
• Flexibility to work evenings/weekends and travel between assigned salons
• Ability to be on your feet and perform stylist duties on the floor; able to lift up to 20 lbs

Schedule & Pay

This is a full-time role that combines an hourly rate for time spent cutting on the salon floor (minimum of 24 hours per week) with a salary for your remaining hours, including administrative work and taking calls. Regular travel and in-person presence across your assigned salons is a core part of this role.

Why Join Us

You'll have real ownership over your salons and your team, room to grow future leaders, and the support of an established, multi-location Great Clips franchise. If you're ready to lead with both your head and your hands, we'd love to talk.
