What actually gets this resume read
- Lead with the size of the location: chairs, stylists, assistants and front desk headcount in the first line.
- Report utilization, prebooking and retail attachment, the three numbers an owner uses to judge a manager.
- Show back bar and color inventory control, because product waste is where salon profit quietly disappears.
- Describe how you handled guest recovery and redo policy rather than saying you delivered excellent service.
- Name the salon software you ran reports in, such as Boulevard, Mindbody, Phorest or Vagaro.
- Say whether you still work behind the chair, since many owners want a working manager and will ask early.
