Hair Cuttery would not be the company we are today without our deeply rooted culture of caring for our associates, our guests and the communities we serve. We are committed to making a positive impact through our signature Share-A-Haircut program, partnerships with local and national causes and support of our family of associates.
Through our annual Share a Haircut campaign, Hair Cuttery donates thousands of free haircuts to underprivileged families. To date, the Share a Haircut program has reached more than 925,000 children with haircut certification donations valued at $12 million.
The Ratner family has a long philanthropic history, helping fund organizations such as: The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Camps for Kids and The American Red Cross. They gladly support wounded warriors, the arts, education and at-risk youth. Grateful for their successes, they recognize the importance of giving back and encouraging all of their associates to get involved with causes dear to their hearts.
We believe that doing the right thing is the goodness we put out into the world. Through salon cut-a-thons, our associates raise funds to help a neighbor or a guest in need. Our School Donation Program sets aside 20% of a day’s proceeds to local schools. We also love to sponsor local sports teams, youth groups, Boys and Girls Clubs and children’s theaters.
We care for our associates like they are family and we support them through both good and bad times. The HOPE Fund’s mission is to offer emergency financial assistance to associates experiencing temporary hardship and unexpected situations such as natural disasters, home destruction or a death in the family. It’s a great feeling to know that your team will always have your back.

I have been working at Hair Cuttery full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Unlimited commission ,free
Education and flexible schedules
Cons
Should
Offer Health Insurance benefits not just supplemental
Advice to Management
I’ve been with hair Cuttery over 12 years and would really benefit from having Better health benefits .Suplemental isn’t enough .
Application
I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Hair Cuttery (Arlington, VA) in December 2017.
Interview
The interview was very relaxed. First a phone interview which consisted of computer generated questions about how you would rate yourself and how you can be successful in the salon. You immediately schedule the technical interview for which i brought all my own implements and used a mannequin. I was asked to do four applications and then a cut, i wasn't watched the entire time so it was very relaxed. The cut was checked at the end and i was offered the position on the spot.
