Job Description

Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. is a leading specialty retailer and distributor of professional beauty supplies serving both the general public and salon professionals. Founded with a mission to provide quality haircare, skincare, and beauty products, along with expert advice and education, Sally Beauty has grown to become a trusted name in the beauty industry. The company operates through various retail formats including Sally Beauty stores, Beauty Systems Group (BSG) outlets, and a robust online presence, catering to a global audience. With a focus on innovation, inclusivity, and diversity, Sally Beauty embraces a culture that values self-expression and individuality, providing an inspiring workplace where employees can thrive and contribute to the company’s growth.

The role of Color & Curl Concierge (CCC) or Colour & Curl Specialist (CCS) at Sally Beauty is a dynamic and vital position focused on driving the color and curl business segment. The CCC/CCS acts as an expert steward within the beauty industry, responsible for demonstrating mastery in hair color and texture, as well as developing skills in talent management, technical knowledge, social media, business acumen, and sales. This hybrid role goes beyond traditional sales associate duties by maximizing sales through increased customer retention and loyalty, building lasting relationships, and driving brand awareness and market share in hair color products. The specialist uses market analysis to introduce approved beauty products and new concepts, provides exceptional customer service, and conducts product education both in-store and virtually. Additionally, CCC/CCS provides personalized color and curl consulting services to professional beauty salons, barbers, spas, schools, and licensed cosmetologists, positioning themselves as a knowledgeable resource and trusted advisor.

This role requires extensive education through online guided learning and certification courses, underscoring the company’s commitment to professional development and expertise. Key responsibilities include determining customer color and care needs, delivering professional advice, collaborating effectively across departments and vendors, resolving customer concerns promptly, and maintaining high merchandising standards aligned with brand guidelines. The position's importance is highlighted by its influence on store atmosphere through merchandising, signage, and display, as well as the requirement to remain informed about emerging trends and adapt sales techniques accordingly. Furthermore, the CCC/CCS supports operational excellence by ensuring proper opening and closing store procedures and occasionally handling cash management tasks.

Sally Beauty fosters a creative, passionate, and supportive work environment where employees receive regular product education, enjoy generous discounts, and have opportunities for career growth. Employees may qualify for medical, dental, vision insurance, 401k, paid vacation, sick leave, and holiday time based on hours worked. The company values strong communication skills, professionalism, and the ability to thrive within a team-focused culture. This full-time role offers an hourly wage ranging from $16.00 to $17.50 dependent on experience, and it requires flexibility in scheduling to meet business needs, including occasional travel to shows or sales meetings. Being a licensed cosmetologist is highly preferred in the US and Canada, enhancing the ability to serve customers more effectively. Sally Beauty is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusivity, and compliance with all employment laws.
