Are you spunky, positive, highly motivated, and ready to take the next step in your beauty career? Do you love helping clients feel confident while also coaching and supporting others? If so, this could be a great opportunity for you.

SugaringNYC – West Linn is looking for a Lead Sugarista to help guide, mentor, and support our team while continuing to deliver exceptional client experiences. This is more than just a service provider role — it is an opportunity to lead by example, contribute to a high-performing salon culture, and grow within an expanding beauty brand.

At SugaringNYC, we specialize in organic hair removal using all-natural sugar paste that is safe and effective for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. We also offer lash lifts, brow laminations, tinting, and vajacial services. Our goal is to help every client feel comfortable, confident, and excited to come back.

We are proud to have a team that leads with excellence, client service, teamwork, and strong results. We will give you the tools, training, coaching, and support to be successful — but we are looking for someone who brings strong leadership, a positive attitude, a high standard of professionalism, and a genuine desire to help the team succeed.

Leadership: You will serve as a mentor, trainer, and go-to support for other Sugaristas, helping create a positive, professional, and high-performing salon environment.

Career Growth: With ongoing training and support, you will continue to grow your leadership, technical, sales, and customer service skills with real opportunity for advancement.

Training & Support: Sugaring can feel intimidating if someone has not done it before, which is why training is such an important part of our culture. As Lead Sugarista, you will help support team members as they build confidence, consistency, and strong client relationships.

Client Service Excellence: This role is not just about performing services. It is about creating an exceptional client experience from start to finish, building trust, educating guests, and helping clients maintain their beauty routine through rebooking, memberships, add-on services, and product recommendations.

Community & Culture: Join a team that values positivity, collaboration, accountability, and excellence. We want someone who is excited to contribute to a winning team and help maintain a salon culture where people enjoy coming to work.

Meaningful Impact: You will help clients feel confident and cared for while also coaching and encouraging your teammates to grow in their skills and careers.
