- Handle client feedback and any concerns promptly and professionally, escalating where necessary
- Support marketing and loyalty scheme administration, including the salon's referral and stamp card schemes
- Assist with onboarding of new staff and ensure salon policies and standards are maintained
- Support the salon owner with basic administrative and compliance tasks as required

- Right to work in the UK
What We Offer - Competitive salary, dependent on experience
- A supportive, friendly working environment in a well-established, boutique salon
- Opportunities to grow into a broader management role as the salon expands
- Staff discount on salon treatments
