We are looking for a professional, detail-oriented, and client-focused Licensed Esthetician to join our skincare team in Los Angeles.

In this role, you will provide high-quality skincare treatments, educate clients on skincare routines, and help build long-term client relationships.

  • Maintain accurate client treatment notes, preferences, and follow-up plans

  • Build strong client relationships and encourage repeat visits

  • Partner with sales consultants to provide a seamless client experience

  • Maintain cleanliness and sanitation of treatment rooms, tools, equipment, and work areas

  • Follow all applicable California sanitation, safety, and scope-of-practice requirements

  • Stay current on skincare products, ingredients, techniques, and industry trends

  • Support product launches, client events, and brand activations when needed

  • Previous experience in a skin studio, spa, luxury spa, or med spa environment

  • Strong client retention and rebooking history

  • Retail skincare sales experience

  • Familiarity with professional skincare brands

  • Bilingual English and Mandarin preferred

  • Existing client book is a plus

  • Service commission

  • Retail product commission

  • Client tips

  • Monthly performance bonus

  • Employee product and service discounts

  • Ongoing product and technique training

We believe a strong esthetician combines three things:

Technical Skill × Client Experience × Client Retention

Technical ability is essential, but we also value estheticians who can build trust, understand client needs, and create relationships that keep clients coming back.

Pay: $23.00 - $30.00 per hour
