Styled With Meraki

✨ STORY TIME …this is the kind of stylist you want in your corner for the important moments. ✨

Cadence got a message through her cousin about a friend who had just had her hair done elsewhere. She was supposed to be in a wedding that same week, but the result wasn’t what she had wanted and she was trying to find someone who could help fix it in time.

The only problem? Cadence was already fully booked.

She asked me if she could come into the salon late at night, outside of regular hours, to help her.

And she did.

Cadence came in after hours and worked until nearly 3:00 a.m. to make sure this client’s hair was corrected before the wedding. 🤍

As a salon owner, one of the most incredible feelings is having staff you can trust enough to say, “Yes, go for it,” knowing they’ll take care of the client, the salon and the situation professionally even when you’re not there.

That level of ownership, compassion and customer service is something we never take for granted.

Because sometimes having the right hairstylist isn’t just about getting great hair.

It’s having someone who is there for you in those important moments the weddings, photos, milestones, last-minute emergencies and days when feeling confident really matters.

Cadence, we are SO proud of the stylist you are becoming and the way you continue to show up for your clients. 🥹👏

Front Desk Manager
Styled With Meraki Inc.
Portage la Prairie, MB

Styled With Meraki is a full-service luxury salon, spa, café, and boutique and we’re looking for a Front Desk Manager who runs the floor like it’s theirs. This is not a “check people in and smile” role. This is the person who keeps 14+ staff, a full guest experience, and daily operations tight, organized, and on-brand.

You’ll own:
• Staff scheduling, oversight, and day-to-day people management
• Reception, guest experience, and front desk operations
• Opening & closing procedures
• Making café drinks for Déjà Brew (lattes, espresso drinks, etc.)
• Salon ordering, inventory, and supply management
• Bookkeeping and basic financial tracking
• Cleaning and maintenance standards
• Staff performance tracking and accountability
• Driving the team to hit sales targets
• Making sure policies and procedures are actually followed every time, by everyone

You are:
• Organized to a fault, with zero tolerance for things slipping through the cracks
• Confident enough to speak up, correct a coworker, and hold the line on standards
• A natural leader who people respect (not just like)
• Comfortable behind an espresso machine as much as behind a computer
• Tech-comfortable and quick to learn new systems
• Calm under pressure with a packed front desk, a ringing phone, and drink orders coming in

Tech you should be comfortable with (or ready to learn fast):
• Booking/scheduling software
• QuickBooks
• Google Sheets
• Canva
• Bonus points if you’ve used AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT to work smarter

Bonus:
• Barista experience or café background

If you’re the person who notices the shelf is 2 inches off-center, reminds the team about the dress code without being asked, pulls a perfect espresso shot, and genuinely enjoys keeping a business running like clockwork

we want to talk to you.

We have 4 appointments available today for children’s ear piercings with two professional piercers, so both ears can be pierced at the same time.

This is a rare opportunity, and these appointments won’t last long.

Call 204-249-0611 to secure your spot today.
