How much do Salon Managers earn?
In Australia, a full time Salon Manager generally earns $1,500 per week ($78,000 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience can you expect a higher salary than people who are new to the industry.

How do I become a Salon Manager?
To become a salon manager you don’t necessarily need to be a qualified therapist, but it would certainly help. The nationally recognised Diploma of Salon Management in conjunction with a Certificate III from the Hairdressing and Beauty Services Training Package would be ideal. You could realistically complete both of these in under 2 years.
