Prepare a resume indicating your level of experience, skills, references and educational background, if any. A beauty salon manager should be knowledgeable on beauty salon procedures, cosmetic services, customer service and operation of salon equipment and tools such as hair dryers.
Inform your references that you have listed them in your resume via e-mail or phone call. This is a courteous way of alerting them of any contact from your prospective employer.
Research on the employer, the job position, the specific salon, and the salon's business policies by calling the salon's public relations office or making an Internet search to find the information you want. This gives you an idea of the job's expectations.
Write a brief cover letter, usually one page, stating the position you are applying for and how you heard about it. Briefly state your qualifications, experiences and personal strengths. Mention traits relating to those of an employee they are looking for.
Mention the attachments in your application letter such as your resume, qualification documents, degree in management, reference letter and any other documents specified by the employer.
Proofread the letter thoroughly to correct mistakes and confirm that you have included necessary documents. Ask someone else to proofread the letter for you to catch any mistakes you may have missed.
