Description
At Renaissance Curls, we believe that excellence starts with structure. We’re a team-based salon committed to creating a beautiful and affirming space for people of color to care for their naturally curly and coily hair. And we’re looking for a Part-Time Front Desk Assistant to help keep our operations running with the same care and intention we bring to our clients’ hair.
You won’t just be “managing the front.” You’ll be a vital part of our growth—keeping track of daily schedules, supplies, systems, and the experience our clients receive the moment they walk through our doors.
We’re a small but mighty team that thrives on music, laughter, and mutual respect. We believe that a well-run space creates room for artistry and transformation. Your role is key to making that possible.
If you’re reliable, organized, and warm with people, we’d love to hear from you.
Let’s do this together,
The Renaissance Curls Team
