Mane Image is a locally owned franchise of Great Clips, an award-winning, #1-ranked hair salon brand. We're built on a simple idea: take care of your team and the rest follows. We're hiring stylists and managers who want more than a paycheck.
Jodi and Brad Melnick are the owners of Mane Image LLC — a Great Clips franchise with 23 salon locations across Austin and Central Texas. What started as a belief that the right culture creates the right results has grown into one of the strongest franchise groups in the Great Clips system.
For Jodi and Brad, this has never just been about haircuts. It's about creating real opportunities for real people — offering a place where stylists can grow, managers can lead, and every team member feels like they belong to something worth showing up for.
Their investment in their team shows up in the way they celebrate wins, develop leaders from within, and show up alongside their people — not just above them.
We're locally owned and Austin-rooted. That means the people above you actually know your name, your goals, and what it takes to help you get there.
No booth rent. No booking hustle. Great Clips Online Check-In and Clip Notes® deliver consistent customer traffic to you every shift.
We promote from within. From Stylist to Product Coordinator to Assistant Manager to Salon Manager to Area Manager — we have a track, clear expectations, and real training behind every step up.
Mane Image is Central Texas through and through. Your leadership isn't a voice on a conference call — they're in the salons, alongside you, invested in what you're building.
From orientation through management development, we invest in your craft. Education here isn't a perk — it's part of the job.
Full-time and part-time options available. We work with your life — family, school schedules, and everything in between.
Recognition, bonuses, and a culture that actually celebrates the people doing the work. We notice who's showing up and what they're building.
Whether you're fresh out of cosmetology school or a seasoned pro ready to lead, there's a place for you at Mane Image.

I came in as a stylist and moved into management within two years. The support is real — my AM sat down with me and mapped out exactly what I needed to get there. You don't find that everywhere.
The customers are already there — that's what got me. I don't chase bookings or stress about building a book from scratch. I show up, do great work, and they come back. That's rare in this industry.
Recognition, training, teamwork, and a whole lot of good energy. This is what showing up for Mane Image actually looks like.
