Holistic Esthetician

We're trained for the people other spas can't take care of.

Lena Rose is a holistic spa and shop where the person on the table matters more than the service on the menu. We're a W-2, non-tipping, clean-beauty spa with two homes, Lincoln Square in Chicago and downtown Naperville. We're looking for an esthetician or cosmetologist at our Lincoln Square (Chicago) spa who cares for guests in cancer treatment, guests with sensitivities, and guests who just need one quiet hour.

• Steady hourly pay on every shift, never dependent on tips.
• Guests booked for you. No chair rent, no chasing clients, no social media hustle.
• A part-time schedule built with you. Sundays and Mondays are the anchor; add Friday, Saturday or both, as works for you.
• Clean products we've vetted ingredient by ingredient.
• Newly licensed? You're welcome here. Every Rose gets a paid, structured onboarding with service-by-service sign-off.

Part time, 2 to 4 days a week: every Sunday and Monday, plus Friday and/or Saturday. Tell us the days that work for you.

• Facials and peels, body treatments, sugaring and waxing of every area, and lash lifts and tints, all to our written protocols and time windows.
• Consent-first consultations: allergies and sensitivities asked every time, and honest advice about what the skin is ready for.
• A written at-home plan for every guest, products recommended, and every guest rebooked before checkout.
• A treatment room that's always ready for the next human.

• A current Illinois esthetics or cosmetology license. Bring it to the interview.
• Available every Sunday and Monday.
• Hands-on skill with facials and hair removal, and willingness to learn sugaring and our body rituals if they are new to you.
• Punctual, reliable and calm on the floor.
• Open to feedback and to protocols that may differ from where you trained.

• You'd rather have steady, predictable pay than chase tips.
• You find good protocols freeing, not confining.
• You want to care for people in treatment, people with sensitivities, and everyone in between.

The pay shown on this post is base pay: $20/hour to start, growing with tenure to $27/hour. On top of that, you earn 2–10% commission on everything you sell (services and retail) through our Rose Rate. From May to September 2026, commission added about $1 to $2.50 an hour on average for our providers, and up to $5.60 an hour in a strong pay period.

As your Rose Rate grows, so does your commission.

• $20/hour to start (every Rose starts as an Apprentice), growing with tenure to $27/hour, plus 2–10% commission on all your sales through our Rose Rate.
• Pay Protection Promise: your base rate only ever moves up.
• Non-tipping: steady, predictable pay that never depends on tips.
• Paid leave and paid sick leave, earned from day one.
• Medical, dental and vision for Roses working 40+ hours, after 90 days.
• Four paid professional development days a year and 100% reimbursement of the continuing education hours Illinois requires.
• 40% off retail and services from day one.
• A paid 90-day structured onboarding, with service-by-service sign-off from our Lead Esthetician.

This is a hands-on, on-the-floor role. You should be able to stand and move for most of a shift; bend, stoop, reach and lift up to 40 lbs to deliver services and reset rooms; and have the manual dexterity to use all tools and equipment, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Beautifully,

Jenny & the team at Lena Rose Beauty
