Salon Manager – WAXD MT Ommaney Shopping Centre

$39.56–$73.01/hr + up to $600/month in bonuses | Casual — Full-time

Currently running a salon (or practically running it) and not being paid or recognised for it? This is your move.

WAXD is looking for an experienced Salon Manager or a current 2IC or Senior Beauty Therapist ready to step up, to lead our team at Mt Ommaney Shopping Centre. Real autonomy, real bonuses, real career path — backed by one of QLD's fastest-growing beauty brands.

About WAXD

WAXD operates 7 salons across Queensland and we're growing — not stalling, not "steady," growing. That matters if you're considering a move: it means genuine progression beyond this one salon, for the right person.

We're known for high standards, strong training, and a culture where managers are actually trusted to run their salon like an owner — with the backing of a brand and support network behind them.

Services: Waxing (brows, body, female Brazilian), tinting, spray tanning, makeup.

The Role

You'll run the Mt Ommaney salon day-to-day: you'll have real autonomy to lead, backed by proper support when you need it.

This is the right move if you're:

An experienced 2IC or Salon Manager elsewhere who wants more autonomy, better reward for results, and a brand that's actually going somewhere

A Senior Beauty Therapist with the runs on the board and the leadership instinct, ready for your first management role

Why Managers Choose WAXD

Autonomy with real backing — run your salon your way, with genuine support behind you, not red tape

Bonuses tied to your leadership — earn up to an extra $4/hr in performance-based bonus loading, plus up to $600/month in additional bonus incentives — your results and your team's culture both get rewarded

A genuine career path — 7 salons means real room to grow as we expand

Development that means something — ongoing training built for leaders, not a compliance checkbox

A team worth leading — professional, high standards, good energy — the kind of salon you'll be proud to put your name on
