Questions

Good to know

Do I need a résumé?

No. The application asks only what the manager needs to call you back.

Do I need a license?

To cut hair, yes: a Texas cosmetology operator or barber license. Students who are still in school can apply now and tell us when they expect it.

Can I work part time?

Yes. Tell us on the application whether you want full time, part time or either.

I worked at Great Clips before. Can I come back?

Yes, and it helps: you already know the systems. Say so on the application.

Can I apply to more than one salon?

Pick the one you would most like. If another salon nearby is a better fit, the manager will tell you.

I was just hired. Where do I go?

Your manager sends your onboarding link by text or email. If you cannot find it, ask your manager to send it again.
