Pigari Spa is looking for a professional, caring, detail-oriented Advanced Pedicurist /Spa Assistant to join our small and growing team.

Pigari is known for providing exceptional medical and advanced pedicures and for creating a client experience built on trust, education, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Our clients come to us because they want more than a beautiful polish—they want someone who understands nail and foot care and takes the time to educate them.

We have built a strong reputation and a 5-star client experience, and we are looking for someone who wants to be part of maintaining that standard.

This is an excellent opportunity for a pedicurist who wants to grow beyond traditional salon services and develop their knowledge and skills in advanced foot and nail care. The successful candidate will provide professional pedicure services while also contributing to the daily operation of the spa.

What you will do

As part of our team, you will:

- Provide professional pedicure and advanced foot-care services according to Pigari's standards and protocols.
- Perform wet/dry pedicures; Russian pedicure experience is an asset.
- Work carefully with nails, cuticles, calluses and other common foot-care concerns within your training and scope of practice.
- Learn how to recognize situations that require additional assessment or referral.
- Educate clients about proper nail and foot care in a clear, skilled and easy-to-understand way.
- Explain home-care recommendations and appropriate professional products.

- Represent Pigari professionally at every client interaction.

When scheduled as the first or last team member, you may be responsible for:
