Co-Manager – Diesel BarbershopFull-Time | San Antonio TX
Who We Are
Diesel Barbershop isn’t your typical barbershop—we’re busier, louder, and built around team culture. Think classic barbershop meets modern salon, with music up, energy high, and clients who expect a great cut and a great experience.
The Role
We’re looking for a strong barber or stylist who leads by example. As a Manager, you’ll spend most of your time behind the chair while also supporting shop operations, team development, and culture.
This is ideal for someone who:
- Is already the person others go to for advice
- Cares about standards, consistency, and professionalism
- Wants leadership responsibility without giving up cutting
What You’ll Do
Behind the Chair
- Deliver top-notch men’s haircuts, fades, beard trims, and shaves
- Provide consistent consultations and exceptional client service
- Maintain a clean, professional workstation
- Build strong client relationships and drive repeat business
Leadership & Shop Operations
- Lead by example in punctuality, professionalism, and work ethic
- Help schedule staff and ensure proper coverage
- Support interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and training new team members
- Coach the team on performance metrics (rebooking, average ticket, services per hour, retail, service time)
- Reinforce Diesel standards and procedures (service steps, appearance guidelines, cash handling, phone etiquette, appointments)
- Handle client concerns calmly and professionally
- Assist with cash drawer accuracy, deposits, and end-of-day procedures
- Help keep the shop clean and organized
What We’re Looking For
- Licensed Barber or Cosmetologist (Texas)
- At least 3 years of experience as a licensed Barber or Cosmetologist
- At least 1 year of leadership experience
- Strong technical skills with men’s cuts, fades, and razor work
- Natural leader with integrity, reliability, and professionalism
- Solution-oriented mindset
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
- Flexible availability, including nights and weekends
- Someone teammates respect and clients trust
What This Role Is Not
- Not booth rental
- Not a “title only” position
This is a working leader role for someone who takes pride in both their craft and their team.
Pay, Perks & Benefits
- Competitive hourly pay + productivity bonuses + tips + retail commission
- Health, dental, and vision insurance (optional)
- 401(k)
- Paid training and leadership development
- Paid holidays & 2 weeks paid vacation
- Employee discounts, contests, prizes, and team outings
- A supportive, team-based environment
Schedule
- Full-time (35–39 hours/week)
- Consistent, predictable scheduling
What’s Next?
Apply through Indeed and we’ll reach out quickly. We want to learn about your experience, leadership style, and goals. The process includes a phone conversation, an in-person meeting, and time cutting in the shop so you can see if Diesel is the right fit.
If you love cutting hair, care about standards, and want to help lead a strong team, we’d love to meet you.
