Hair salon with enterprise ops and supply-chain infrastructure
Element Hair is a 30-year-old salon studio in Waterloo operating a tech stack built for enterprise logistics and data analytics—HighJump WMS, Snowflake, Databricks, Tableau—rather than typical salon POS systems. The hiring surge (19 roles in 30 days across ops, HR, engineering, logistics, and manufacturing) and active projects around WMS integration, data pipelines, and supply-chain optimization suggest the business has evolved beyond a single location into a multi-site or wholesale operation with significant back-office complexity.
