Licensed Esthetician with Lead Esthetician Growth Opportunity

Amara by the Sea | Pacific Grove, California

Amara by the Sea is seeking an exceptional licensed esthetician who wants more than a temporary position. We are looking for someone who is ready to build a loyal clientele, become deeply rooted in our spa and community, and grow into a strong leader for our esthetics department.

This position offers a clear opportunity to be considered for Lead Esthetician after the initial 90-day development period. The right candidate will be motivated by advanced skincare, luxury hospitality, retail education, team development, and the opportunity to help shape the future of our esthetics department.

Your First 90 Days

During your first 90 days, your focus will be on:

Completing training and becoming fully signed off on all required Amara esthetic services and protocols

Developing exceptional consistency, confidence, and attention to detail in every treatment

Delivering a warm, polished, luxury-level client experience

Actively building and retaining a loyal clientele

Generating strong client requests, rebooking, and referrals

Maintaining consistently strong retail sales through thoughtful, education-based recommendations

Learning our professional skincare lines, home-care products, and treatment plans

Supporting spa marketing through social media participation, service education, and promotional content

Demonstrating reliability, initiative, professionalism, and a team-first attitude

Showing the communication and technical skills needed to train and support other estheticians

Path to Lead Esthetician

Candidates who successfully meet our performance, training, and leadership expectations during the first 90 days may become eligible for consideration for the Lead Esthetician position.

The Lead Esthetician role would include:

Increased hourly compensation

Increased service commission

Eligibility for monthly performance-based bonuses

Paid leadership and administrative hours

Training and mentoring estheticians

Supporting treatment consistency, protocols, and quality control

Helping the department meet goals for utilization, revenue, client requests, enhancements, retail sales, and client satisfaction

Partnering with spa ownership on department growth, education, and service development

Advancement is based on demonstrated performance, leadership readiness, business needs, and successful completion of the required training and service sign-offs. Completion of the first 90 days does not automatically guarantee promotion.

Who We Are Looking For

Our ideal candidate:

Holds a current California esthetician license

Has unrestricted availability and can work the schedule required by the spa, including weekends, peak periods, and special events

Is seeking a long-term professional home and leadership opportunity

Is confident providing customized, results-driven facial treatments

Is highly coachable and committed to mastering established protocols

Has strong consultation, retail recommendation, rebooking, and client-retention skills

Is comfortable creating or participating in social media and marketing content

Can confidently educate both clients and team members

Has the ability and desire to train, mentor, and lead others

Takes initiative and follows through without constant direction

Is dependable, organized, polished, and attentive to detail

Understands that leadership includes accountability, communication, and supporting the success of the entire department

Values collaboration, community involvement, and exceptional hospitality

Experience with advanced facial modalities and professional skincare is strongly preferred. Previous leadership or training experience is a plus, but we are also open to an outstanding esthetician who has clear leadership potential and is ready to grow.
