Job Description

Join the Glowbar Team:

Glowbar is reinventing the facial with custom, 30-minute treatments led by expert estheticians, designed to deliver results. Since launching in NYC in 2019, we’ve grown fast, with locations across the Northeast and more on the way.

You’ve mastered the treatment room. Now it’s time to do something bigger: shape the team around you. As a Lead Esthetician at Glowbar, you’re the bridge between exceptional service and exceptional leadership delivering our signature 30-minute facial while also coaching and mentoring the next generation of Glowbar estheticians. This is a role for someone who’s ready to have real influence over how a studio runs and grows.

What You’ll Do:

Everything an Esthetician does plus a dedicated day each week focused on developing and growing your team. Every day, you’ll:

• Deliver Glowbar’s customized 30-minute facial with the highest level of consistency and care

• Perform specialized services like extractions, dermaplaning, nano infusion, LED therapy, and high-frequency treatments

• Educate and develop customized treatment plans with recommended products and guide clients on ingredients and at-home routines

• Build lasting client relationships by documenting detailed notes and guiding every client toward the membership as the best way to achieve their skincare goals

• Keep your studio and treatment room spotless and client-ready - maintaining sanitation standards before and after every appointment

• Serve as the on-shift leader providing real-time feedback, mentorship, and treatment shadows to estheticians while ensuring service standards are met

• Conduct hands-on practical assessments during the interview process to evaluate candidates before they join the team

• Onboard new hires in partnership with the Studio Manager by leading training sessions, shadowing treatments, and conducting performance evaluations

• Lead continued education for the studio, receiving and observing treatments from new hires and team members to gauge performance, and delivering structured weekly feedback to Studio Management

• Dedicate up to 1 shift per week to administrative responsibilities: performance feedback, operational oversight, and inventory management

• Partner with the Studio Manager to identify process improvements, enhance service delivery, and drive studio revenue growth

• Step in at the front desk when your team needs you to ensure a seamless client experience

• Embody the Glowbar standard in professionalism, presentation, and skincare expertise — in every interaction, every shift

• Flexible availability, including weekends (we're busiest when clients have time to glow)

  • Full-Time: 5-day open availability, including both weekend days

• A results-driven attitude - we'll support you in hitting $1,000+ in monthly product sales

Your Glow Package (Compensation & Benefits):
