Job description

With over 4,500 salons, and 40,000 stylists, Great Clips is one of the fastest growing and most respected companies in North America - and the largest salon brand in the world. Our salon professionals have been providing great haircuts and styles to men and women for 40+ years!

Want to be part of a busy salon with extensive clientele provided for all stylists but need to find the right fit for you?

As one of Chicago’s leading salon groups, and one of the best performing salons in Chicagoland, we’ve had the thrill of watching Stylists with different stories thrive with us. Is one of these manager stories below yours or relate to where you hope to be?

Michelle’s Story: Stepping into Your Perfect Role

Michelle had many years of experience with a variety of full service and well known corporate salons, but she wanted something more consistent and reliable. She decided to try a select service brand that focuses solely on men, but found that she missed serving both men and women, having a chair that was consistently full, and working with an encouraging salon team.

She joined our team and brought great energy, enthusiasm, and experience to our salon. She became our salon manager and has contributed greatly to our salon’s culture, growth, and success!

Carrie’s Story: Accelerated Career Growth

Carrie, an experienced stylist, was in a salon that had to permanently close its doors. She joined our team, excelled with our proven approach to customer care, and brought a joyful energy to our salon atmosphere. She quickly advanced to Assistant Manager and now continues to manage one of our growing salons!
