At Waxing the City, our licensed service providers are not only waxing experts, they’re waxing authorities. This led us to create our very own title of Cerologist™ technicians, combining “cera” (Latin for wax) with “ologist” (to highlight their level of education and expertise). After a week-long, hands-on training course at our Waxing University®, our service providers become certified Cerologists.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO

At Waxing the City, we are passionate about helping clients look and feel their best — and that starts with a team who loves what they do. Our Assistant Managers are key leaders who support studio operations, empower team success, and elevate the client experience every step of the way.

As Assistant Manager, you’ll work closely with the Studio Owner to ensure seamless day-to-day operations. Your responsibilities will include overseeing the client experience, supporting training and performance development, maintaining a clean and professional studio, and representing the brand through local marketing events and partnerships.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

  • Drive local marketing efforts, community partnerships, and event participation
  • Oversee supply inventory and manage ordering as needed
  • Assist with onboarding and training new team members
  • Serve as the on-site point of contact for urgent or escalated issues in the Studio Owner’s absence
  • Lead by example in communication, client care, and team collaboration
