Beauty Therapist — Threading, Waxing & Facials
Full-Time | A Beauty Professional Who Takes Pride in Their Craft
We believe beauty services are more than treatments. They are an opportunity to help people feel confident, comfortable, and cared for.
We are looking for a passionate, skilled, and professional beauty therapist who takes pride in their work, respects the craft, and understands the importance of precision, hygiene, client comfort, and exceptional service.
We want someone who genuinely enjoys their profession, values high standards, and treats every client with kindness, dignity, and respect. Someone who understands that every individual is different and that a great beauty experience begins with listening, communicating, and making people feel comfortable in their own skin.
We are building a team of professionals who care about their work, support one another, maintain excellent standards, and take pride in creating a welcoming environment for people from all backgrounds and cultures.
We are looking for someone who:
- Loves their craft. Takes pride in precision, technique, attention to detail, and consistently delivering quality results.
- Respects every client. Treats people with patience, kindness, professionalism, and sensitivity, regardless of their background, age, gender, or personal preferences.
- Has excellent communication skills. Listens carefully, understands client expectations, explains treatments clearly, and checks that clients feel comfortable throughout the service.
- Takes hygiene seriously. Follows excellent sanitation, disinfection, hand hygiene, and infection-prevention procedures without needing reminders.
- Understands personal boundaries. Respects client privacy, modesty, consent, comfort levels, and individual preferences, especially during intimate or sensitive waxing services.
- Is a strong team player. Supports colleagues, communicates respectfully, and contributes to a positive and professional workplace.
- Has a warm and welcoming personality. Enjoys meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds and makes clients feel valued rather than rushed or judged.
- Is reliable and accountable. Arrives on time, manages appointments responsibly, maintains their workstation, and takes ownership of their work.
- Is committed to improvement. Keeps learning, refines techniques, welcomes constructive feedback, and stays informed about professional practices and products.

- Facial threading, including upper lip, chin, cheeks, and other requested areas within their training and scope of practice.
- Waxing services for ALL facial and body areas.
- Accurate hair removal techniques that prioritise skin comfort, cleanliness, and the client's desired result.
- Knowledge of different skin types, hair growth patterns, and appropriate aftercare.
Facials & Skincare

- Conducting consultations and identifying when a treatment may be unsuitable.
- Understanding all skin types, common skin concerns, product selection, and appropriate treatment methods.
- Proper cleansing, exfoliation, mask application, moisturising, and other treatments within their training and qualifications.
- Providing clear aftercare advice and realistic recommendations for maintaining skin health.
- Recognising potential contraindications and referring clients to an appropriate healthcare professional when a concern falls outside their scope of practice.

- Explain procedures, expected sensations, potential reactions, and aftercare clearly.
- Obtain informed consent and respect a client's right to pause or decline any part of a treatment.
- Maintain excellent hygiene standards before, during, and after every appointment.
- Keep treatment rooms, tools, equipment, and products clean, organised, and ready for the next client.
- Manage appointments professionally while allowing sufficient time to maintain quality and client comfort.
- Recommend appropriate treatments and products honestly, without pressuring clients into purchases.
- Communicate respectfully with colleagues and help maintain a positive, welcoming salon environment.
- Take responsibility for ongoing learning, professional development, and consistent service standards.
Work Schedule & Availability
This is a full time position requiring availability on weekends.
Weekends are among our busiest business periods, so reliable Saturday and Sunday availability is essential. Specific shifts and days off will be arranged according to the salon's operating hours and business needs.
Punctuality, reliability, and the ability to work professionally during busy periods are important requirements.
What We Value Most
Technical ability is important, but the way a person treats others matters just as much.
We value professionals who take pride in doing things properly, maintain impeccable hygiene, communicate honestly, respect personal boundaries, and treat every client as an individual.
We are not looking for someone who simply completes treatments and moves on to the next appointment. We want someone who cares about the quality of their work, the comfort and confidence of their clients, the cleanliness of their environment, and the success of the team.

If you are passionate about beauty and skincare, take pride in your technical skills, respect the people you serve, and believe that professionalism and genuine care should go hand in hand, we would love to hear from you.
Please submit your résumé, details of your relevant training and qualifications, a portfolio or examples of your work if available, and a short introduction explaining what you love about your profession.
We believe excellent service comes from skilled hands, a thoughtful mind, high standards, and genuine respect for people. If that describes you, we would love to meet you.
