Lena Rose Beauty Seeks Natural Nail Technician

Home »

Lena Rose Beauty is Chicago's first non-toxic, holistic beauty spa and shop. We're a small, close-knit, growing team rooted in four values:
Community, Compassion, Connection, and Conversation. We hand‑make the products we use in our services, vet every retail product on our shelves, and create a fume‑free, low‑waste environment built to protect the long‑term health of our team and our clients.

We're hiring full-time Nail Technicians at both locations and looking for someone who wants to grow with us — not just clock in.

Job Type: Full‑Time preferred (will consider part‑time for the right person)
Locations:
Lincoln Square, Chicago, IL and Naperville, IL
