Job description

Diversity matters

We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It's what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.

We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!

Who we are

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there's more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good.

The Living Wage Foundation's statement 'a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay' is one that we are proud to commit to in the UK. As an accredited Living Wage employer, we put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what's inside that counts - whether that's an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

The magic behind the Lush HairLab

Committed to assembling a team of skilled specialists, we hold a deep appreciation for the artistry of hairdressing and believe in empowering our stylists to showcase their unique talents.

We want a diverse team that reflects the broad range of our products and caters to all hair types. By doing so, we aim to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels embraced and their individual needs are met when they visit our salons.

At Lush HairLab, we take pride in providing an exceptional salon experience, tailoring our services to meet the unique needs of each client's hair and scalp. Our dedication to one-on-one attention allows us to achieve authentic results that align with our clients' personal style. We empower clients with knowledge about their hair and scalp health, making their journey educational and enriching, leaving them feeling fabulous inside and out.
