Rooted Salon is a team-based, education-focused salon built around the belief that great hair is only one part of an exceptional salon experience. We specialize in customized color, cutting, extensions, and treatments while creating an environment where our guests feel genuinely cared for and our team feels supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow.

What makes Rooted different is our culture. We care deeply about education, guest experience, teamwork, consistency, and creating opportunities for our service providers to build successful, sustainable careers. We believe in continuing to evolve, investing in our people, and never becoming complacent in our craft or our business.

At the heart of Rooted is connection—to our guests, to our team, and to the community we serve. We work hard, support one another, have fun along the way, and take a lot of pride in what we’re building together.

The Role

As an Assistant at Rooted Salon, you will play a vital role in supporting our stylists and enhancing the overall client experience. Your responsibilities will include assisting with daily operations, maintaining salon cleanliness, and providing excellent customer service. You will work closely with our team to ensure that every client feels valued and cared for.

What You’ll Do

• Support our service providers throughout their day by anticipating needs, preparing for guests, assisting with services, and helping keep appointments running smoothly.
• Provide an elevated shampoo and scalp experience that reflects the level of care and attention our guests expect at Rooted.
• Help create an exceptional guest experience from the moment someone walks through our doors until they leave.
• Maintain Rooted’s standards for cleanliness, organization, and professionalism throughout the salon. This includes stations, shampoo area, color area, laundry, and shared spaces.
• Assist with mixing color, preparing tools and products, cleaning and resetting between guests, and other hands-on salon support.
• Stay aware of what is happening around you and take initiative rather than waiting to be asked.
• Assist with inventory, restocking, laundry, and maintaining the behind-the-scenes systems that allow the salon to operate smoothly.
• Learn our products and services so you can confidently support guest recommendations and the service providers you work alongside.
• Participate in education, training, team meetings, and opportunities designed to help you grow within the industry.
• Contribute to a team culture built around support, respect, communication, accountability, and stepping in for one another.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is eager to learn, takes initiative, and genuinely wants to be part of a team.

The right person for Rooted is someone who:

• Notices what needs to be done and takes action without always needing direction.
• Is dependable, punctual, and understands that the team relies on them.
• Has strong communication skills and is comfortable interacting with guests and team members.
• Pays attention to the little details that make a guest’s experience feel special.

• Understands that no task is “beneath” anyone and is willing to jump in wherever the team needs support.
• Brings a positive, team-minded attitude to work.
• Is interested in building a future within the beauty industry.

A Plus, But Not Required

Previous salon or customer service experience is always helpful, but attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn matter most to us.

Experience with salon software, professional haircare products, cosmetology education, or working in a fast-paced guest-focused environment is a plus.
